Have to add my 2 1/2 cents to this thread, as the lucky new owner of this beautiful automobile. cw240Z72 is not only a master craftsman but a great guy, having had the pleasure to meet him at his home/workshop this week. Who but a mechanical engineer could do computer based drawings and 3D printer recreations of hard to source parts?! Too nice to drive.....but too bad! This car is going out on the road, and down to the local cars and coffee in the near future. Then "date night" with a girl I've known for a (long) while. Eagerly await delivery..decided I'd better not drive it home during the winter months. And thanks to all who posted here along the way.

Special thanks to siteunseen and jaa.series1 for photos. My 72 should look like siteunseen photos. eBay offering would seem to have metal back since antenna switch in proper position...but metal appears integral to "guts" of radio, the metal case of which is weathered/rusted. Or am I missing something? Phil Datsun 9.71-9.73 240z OEM Hitachi AM:FM Radio KM-1520ZC | eBay.webarchive

Got it. Thanks guys. Phil

Can someone confirm the trapezoidal shape of the faceplate for the Hitachi model KM-1520ZC in 1972? Photos can be deceiving but I see a very rectangular KM-1520ZC on eBay described as OEM for DATSUN 240Z 9.71-9.73 Datsun 9.71-9.73 240z OEM Hitachi AM:FM Radio KM-1520ZC | eBay.webarchive
