I have one in my 1971 240Z also.

I have used fire extinguishers on cars 3 times -- always someone else's.

I'd use it to extinguish the source of 2nd hand smoke.
I had it in my suburban. It was useless. I ended up putting it in my kitchen. BTW, every car fire I've seen, it was either a VW bug or a VW bus. That got me thinking, it should be a requirement for these cars to have them before they get registered.
