No. VIN's didn't get that descriptive until 1982.

The VIN is RLS30-000020.

It's currently stored about an hour away from me. Once I get back out there I'll collect more info. I'm in the process of selling another car so I can bring the 260z back home and start restoring it.

Thomas, that is interesting about the sweedish cars. Too bad one was wrecked, and I could not imagine a Zed with Thunderbird tail lights.

Chris, where are you getting that information, just out of curisiosity?

I am not sure how many Us spec 260z pace cars were made, but I do know of one that was RLS30-000020 according to zhome.com.

Wait..what? number 20 was/is a pace car model???

Wait - I'm mistaken - it's 200 not 20....

I don't think it matters much. Having a low VIN 260Z (or 280Z for that matter) really doesn't much. It would be signifigant if it was a pace car but it's still not like having a low VIN 240Z.
