Looks like it to me, and a 2+2. |

@An_unusual_eye: Are there any visual difference between Australian version and American version besides being right hand drive? |

from what i can determine after a bit of research ~ and admittedly i'm a little out of my element with the australian models ~ there would be a couple notable differences. the australian 260z cars throughout the duration of the production run wore bumpers that very much resembled the bumpers that the S30 Z cars wore in the U.S. from the beginning of the 1970 model year through the 1972 model year of the 240z - minus the bumper guards. for the first half of the 1974 model year in the U.S., the 260z was equipped with bumpers that were somewhat larger than those on the australian model, and with black rubberized bumper guards, but still fairly similar in appearance. for the 2nd half of the 1974 model year in the U.S., the 260z would have been sold with the much larger "federalized" bumpers, and would have therefore appeared significantly more different. additionally, the U.S. version had side marker lights on both the front and the rear corners, while the australian version (perhaps) only had the front side markers. after 1974 the U.S. got 280z models only, while australia continued to receive 260z models through 1978. all that being said... the only real variation during the 260z run in australia that i can come up with as it applies to this car, is that these 4 spoke alloy wheels didn't begin to show up on the market until around mid-1976. presuming that they're original to the car, i guess that we should make this one a 1976 model. the color is code #301 (Light Brown Metallic). |
