Californian Z's


Recommended Posts

Hello All

I purchased a 1976 280z about three weeks ago from a guy up in Phoenix Az. Car is in great shape as of now but does have a couple of issues that I have to fix, nothing that keeps it from driving just some TLC. According to a the guy I bought the car from the car has been in Arizona all its life.

 

First off were the VIN numbers for Z cars in California different then the ones for other states? I've read someplace that in CA they were HLS and other places it was GLS. Secondly did all Z cars (280's) come with floor temp lights? Mine has it and I'm not really sure what this really does. (emisisons or something). Thirdly, is there really any difference in the Z's for CA as compared to other ones?

 

Thanks

Jan

No.

Only 280Zs factory equipped with catalytic converters.

 

Thirdly, is there really any difference in the Z's for CA as compared to other ones?

 

Yes, mostly related to emission controls on the 280Z cars.
