Dirk Diggler Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Never heard of a series 2 Z. Link to comment
El Caballo Loco Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Never heard of a series 2 Z. I believe the Series I Z was '70-mid '71 and the later model 240Zs were considered Series II. The more desirable and rarer of the two is obviously the Series I. Link to comment

I wasnt aware that they had different series, im assuming they made slight adjustments and those became the series 2? Get some pictures up! :P Link to comment
Skib Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 70-71 are referred to as series one, but theres really not a ton of difference aside from carbs (72 started getting smog stuff and the 73 got the full blown smag flat tops) and minor things Link to comment
AZhitman Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 S-1 were built from 10/69 to 12/70. Easiest way to ID them is the vents on the rear hatch. Also the S-1 had "240Z" on the c-pillar, whereas S-2 has the round Z medallion. S-1 steering wheel had indentations, not holes, on the spokes. Link to comment
El Caballo Loco Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I've never had that accurate of a description of the differences between the two Series cars. Thanks guys. There was some stuff I wanted to do before I got pics but the weather has been keeping me from them. I understand this thread it worthless without pics. I have older pictures of the car from the previous owner but I would rather not mis-represent the vehicle since the paint has deteriorated since then and some things have been removed. If you want to bust my balls about not having many/any posts, go for it. I get on this forum to gather information and do research. Would you rather I shoot out a bunch of mindless posts that have no point what so ever? Just to clear some things up: The car is VERY drivable and fires right up with no issues. The exterior is white. Link to comment

El Caballo Loco Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 $2,900.00 and that's where it's staying. That's what I paid for the car before tax, title, and license. Losing some on parts here but oh well. At least I'll break even on the main cost. If not, I'll just sit on it. Link to comment
