My 280Z (11/78) center console has a rectangular hole at the back. Is there supposed to be an ashtray there too? There already is one just ahead of the armrest, between it and the shifter?

I don't mind having another ashtray; it's a good place to stash coins. But would it be correct?

thx

In the 2+2 version, there was a ash tray in the location that you mention.

The 2+2 has the ashtray in the back of the console and the 2 seater has a plastic plate in the opening.

Is it possible I got a console from a 2+2? Or there is just a a square hole on the back of every 280Z console?

Any way, I think I will get an ashtray to fill the hole.

All 77-78 consoles have the hole in the back. In the 2 seaters there is a plastic blanking plate that goes there and the 2+2 gets the ashtray. There's really not much room if you put the ashtray in a 2 seater.
