2015 370z vs 2015 Hyundai genesis coupe r-spec

The other person is correct. 260z was made for 1974 only and there were two models. One with the 240z bumpers and the 1974 1/2 with the larger 280z bumpers.

The other person is correct.

260z was made for 1974 only and there were two models. One with the 240z bumpers and the 1974 1/2 with the larger 280z bumpers. The 260z had two Hitachi carbs and 240z had two SU carbs. 1973 was the last year for the 240z. 1978 was the last year for the 280z with fuel injection. 1979 was the first year for the 280zx.

I had an 1974 1/2 260z with triple Webers, headers, cam etc. and an 1979 280zx.

260 was 74-78 build dates according to wiki. I agree.

Perhaps you should have kept that 1979 260z. It probably worth a fortune being the only one sold in US.

However, I think you are either mistaken or got ripped off when you purchased that brand new 1979 260z. Sorry.

I bought it used, in the army at Bragg. They said it was a 79, so it's a 78. Some fond memories. The 280 was bought at the same place. That was a beauty. Fire engine red and t top. Probably the most fun to drive out of all of them. That was in the late 90's.
