260z packages

[z4life92]

So I was wondering if anyone could tell me or point me in the direction of a website that lists all the interior options or packages that the early1974 260z came with. I was comparing my car to an early 280z in the local junk yard and it had some cool features like a fuel light where the 260's "fasten seat belt" light was and other things. There are two things im particularly interested in, there is a cap across from my fasten seat belt light above the vent controls. It looks like it would be another light for something. Also the back part of the center console, it pops out so would it have been an extra tray of some sort in a higher packaged car? Oh one more thing, my center console goes rear defogger switch, hazard light switch and a cap? Was there a third switch? ps all caps were from factory not put in by someone else. i will post pics after work if my descriptions don't make sense.

There were no options or packages, besides colors. All early 260Zs came to the US with the plugs, AFAIK. The console plugs are there from the factory and I believe are there to cover up holes that were used in other (i.e. non-US) markets. The rear cap covers where the rear ash tray would have went on the 2+2 model.
