As the title says, I am in search of a pair of 1970-71 Series I Metal "C" Pillar Emblems.. I know this item is super rare.. but send me a pm and we'll talk =) These are the emblems that say "240Z" in metal, NOT the "Z" emblems. Thank you!

checked the swiss cheese holes.. they are there =) i got myself a 70 or late 71

haha.. for sure! now for me to get my hands on some metal 240Z pillar emblems.. wont be too easy >

Awesome, thanks man.. I was looking at another site.. and I think I found my answer.. My car checks off for all of this list: 1. Body shell lighter by 200lbs 2. Vented hatch 3. Solid B pillars 4. 240z badge on B pillar 5. Nissan 2400-OHC rocker cover 6. Back to front brake master 7. Cigarette lighter next to the ash tray 8. A hand throttle 9. Swiss cheese rear deck 10. Tool boxes behind each seat 11. Seats only recline 10 degrees or so 12. Chrome coat hooks 13. Split driveshaft 14. Solid steering wheel spokes 15. Flawed diff location 16. Speedo that starts at 20mph 17. "D" hubcaps not the "Z" ones 18. Weak B pillars that cracked 19. Mystery space beside the speedo for a switch or cigarette lighter 20. Vertical rear demister (if fitted, dealer option) 21. Rear speaker mounted behind the electric aerial. 22 Many more than I can't remember (anoraks please chirp in now)

rturbo, Wow, so mine is just.. WEIRD. Series I & II features.. definitely confusing... I'm gonna have the figure out what the heck went wrong along the way... 260 comment was a reply to the previous poster, my bad. Maybe the quarter panel was replaced before, along with the hatch.. possible a rear vehicle accident.. but nothing on the record. That's the only thing I can think of.. I'm gonna check more when I get home. Ya, its very unlikely my car is a 71.. although it was titled as one.. zhome says 03486 was the lowest 71 model.. so maybe? haha

Oh, also.. on a Series II car, there will be only holes for the "Z" emblem on the "C" Pillar, no pre cut or marked holes for the 240Z emblem that was only on Series I cars right? Because under my car's Z emblem it looks like it has some holes painted over, and some still there... that might fit a 240Z emblem.. maybe i should get a set to find out hmm!

Awesome, thanks for your info! I will check first thing in the morning.. But something I am confused about, that is obvious. My jack and tool bag is behind the seats, and not in a compartment in the rear. I heard that was a feature of only Series I cars. Behind the badges, there is a hole. Except theres a cup like object that sits up against the hole.. so its U/Bowl shape when u look inwards, nonfunctional. Just want make sure.. that both 1970 and 1971 can be a Series I car, have the vents, and 240Z badges on the "C" Pillars. But a Series II car will never have 240Z badges and vents on the hatch. Correct? As for the 260 comment earlier.. your VIN number system is different from the S30 I believe?

So I was looking at zhome.com today and was reading up on the section "What Year Is My 240Z?" I have recently been going through a dilemma of whether my car is a 1970 or 1971 240Z, a Series I or Series II 240Z. VIN: HLS30-05998 Production date: 6/70 ZHOME info on Series I 69,70,71 240Zs: THE SERIES I 240Z's - Produced from Oct. of 1969 through Dec. of 1970. They are identified by the fresh air exhaust vents located on the rear hatch. (some of these cars were also produced in the first few weeks of Jan. 1971 during the transition period) They have plastic covers for tools and jack located behind the seats, steering wheels with indents, rather than holes. My car has the plastic covers for tools, and jack located behind the seats. Steering wheel was replaced by previous owner, so I can't tell there... Fresh Air Exhaust Vents are NOT located on my hatch. "Z" badges on the "C" pillars. The Series I 240Z's were sold and titled as 1969, 1970 and 1971 Model Year Cars here in the U.S. and North American Markets. (as they complied with all U.S. Emissions and Safety standards in effect for those years. There was not much change in the standards for those years.) Cars that arrived at the U.S. Ports after Sept. 1 1970, could legally be, and were, sold as 1971 Model Year Cars. (they could also have been, and were, legally sold as 1970 Model Year Cars! - however very few of them were, due to the price increase on the 1971 Model Year cars. ). THE SERIES II 240Z's were produced from Jan. 1971 through Aug. of 1971. They are identified by the fresh air exhaust vents relocated to the side or "C" pillar of the car, from their prior position on the rear deck lid. The tools and jack were re-located to pockets in the rear deck area and the steering wheels have holes, where the indents were on the Series I cars. These cars were also sold as 1971 Model Year Cars here in the U.S....So both Series I and Series II Z Cars were sold as 1971 Model Year cars. I am starting to believe my car was one of the cars that was sold as a 1971 Series I car in 1970. My vents on the "C" pillar are covered with Z badges, however there are a couple of covered up holes.. (previous mounting point?) which leads me to believe a previous owner replaced the hatch (thus eliminating the vents) and plugged the holes of the 240Z emblem on the "C" pillar. The vents on the "C" pillar intrude inwards, almost like a cup.. but there is no sign of ventilation/functionality? I am not sure if the 1970 Series I Z had any hole/indent under the "C" pillar emblems.. or was it just flush? Also my car has LATCHES on the seatbelts, not buttons (series II feature). Any insight would be appreciated.. I just wanted to see if anyone else had any inside scoop on this. I saw another car on eBay today which titled as a 1970, is in fact a series I with all the exterior goodies.. but, has a HIGHER VIN than me. Thank you for reading
