I've never seen one before. Interesting piece and I've subscribed to the thread to find out more as it gets posted.

Is that part number 84806-8E600? The 848 part indicates that it's a trunk lid emblem which means that it's for a sedan. I'd have to do more research on the rest.

Let's try the trunk of this Bluebird...

That looks like it. No wonder I couldn't find it. My charts don't go beyond 1992.

Since SSS stands for 'Super Sports Sedan' that emblem will be out of place on your Z.

Thanks for the link.....My 72 Z is not a restore to factory specs and has been refresh with a l260 block,l240 head , 71 SU carbs , interior redone in fabric and vinyl ,the Orange paint is a little brighter than the factory, it has vintage Fairlady Z emblems on the fenders, bullet chrome style side mirrors,a MOMO steering wheel and shift knob, so I think that this unique emblem is a proper add on.
