Zvoiture Posted November 15, 2002 Share #1 Posted November 15, 2002 QUICK! Name these models. Subtract 20 points for consulting the VB catalogue and subtract 30 points for checking with ZHOME. Just driving down the road, minding my own business and saw these crumpled heaps of gorgeous Z metal in a vacant lot. Pulled in and snooped around and whipped out my trusty Makita and lifted some tags. I will give them a decent burial. steve77 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/3628-vin-trivia/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfadog Posted November 15, 2002 Share #6 Posted November 15, 2002 isn't the first one a 280ZX? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/3628-vin-trivia/#findComment-19134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS30-H Posted November 15, 2002 Share #7 Posted November 15, 2002 Lets round all those answers up together and get a rope around them once and for all;*HS130 = 280ZX ( Right Hand Drive market version )*GRLS30 = 260Z 2+2 ( Left Hand Drive market version )*GHLS30 = 280Z 2+2 ( Left Hand Drive market version )Wonder what the right-hooker ZX was doing in your neighbourhood Zvoiture? Maybe another US Forces "Personal Import" job?Please subtract 100 points because I called MSA and asked for the answers ( but they didn't know either................ ).Alan T.

Alfadog Posted November 16, 2002 Share #11 Posted November 16, 2002 because they were very, VERY confused. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/3628-vin-trivia/#findComment-19143 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zvoiture Posted November 16, 2002 Author Share #12 Posted November 16, 2002 7000 RPM??? Wow. What are we looking for, Alan? You can not go around using verbiage like 'deliberate anomaly'. Some of us in Pigsuckle can't get a grip on it. Did you mean 'translationary mis-application' or is there an actual mistake in there?steve77 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/3628-vin-trivia/#findComment-19145 Share on other sites More sharing options...
