oemz Posted November 20, 2009 Share #1 Posted November 20, 2009 Hello All,I searched around but couldn't get the answer I was looking for. I need to know if any 240z's marked as a 1972 model had the older style center consoles with the ashtray below the radio vs the ones with the metal sliding ones behind the shift boot?? Or did all 1972 240z's have the metal sliding type consoles?

back-to-zcars Posted November 20, 2009 Share #2 Posted November 20, 2009 Any one I have seen has always been a metel sliding ashtray. The flip lid ash tray is on early cars prior to 72. Hope this helps. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/33893-72-240z-with-no-metal-sliding-ashtray/#findComment-300924 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z Babe Posted November 21, 2009 Share #3 Posted November 21, 2009 Ditto to what Back-to-Zcars posted. I also checked with BA, MSA, and CN to see if they had different stock numbers for the 1972 ashtrays, but to no avail. You might try looking at a parts list.

Arne Posted November 21, 2009 Share #4 Posted November 21, 2009 The early '70-71 console won't clear the relocated shift lever location of the Type B transmission from '72 on. Or rather, it requires modification to clear the shifter. Never done by Nissan.

oemz Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted November 23, 2009 Does a 12/71 production date = a 72? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/33893-72-240z-with-no-metal-sliding-ashtray/#findComment-301121 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arne Posted November 23, 2009 Share #6 Posted November 23, 2009 Does a 12/71 production date = a 72?Yes. 1972 production started in 8/71 or thereabouts.
