Hi Randy,

That looks like a metal 240Z deck emblem that has had the white paint removed from the Z area. You can tell by the raised outer edge on the Z. What we are referring to as "chrome Z" emblems have a Z that is filled in so that it is flush with the numbers and the Z is chromed like the numbers are. These were only on the first 1000-1500 or so cars. What I mean by "solid chrome Z" emblems is some of the earliest cars with these emblems were completely solid on the back so that the entire back surface was filled in. I can attach some pictures when I get home.

Actually Randy I just did a search and found two old threads that discuss the chrome Z's and the solid cast emblems.

Those are probably the best threads about emblems. As discussed, the first "batch" of emblems were cast solid and appear on the very early cars.

Randy, you have a metal "white Z". The picture below is the "Chrome Z"

I want chrome Z's for #215

Guess I'd have to be better at the search out and buy game...:eek:

Hey Mark! Haven't talked to you in long time! How ya doin?

Thanks for the great information....I really had no idea about the these rare early one's. This is why I love this forum............
