280Z Spotted in "Pain & Gain" Movie

Featured Replies

Hello Guys,

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this yet, but in the movie trailer for "Pain & Gain" that was released in April 2013, there's a 2 second shot of a blue 280Z. You can see the Z at minute 1:28 and 1:29 in the trailer:

Needless to say, I was excited to see a Z at the movies last night!

Here is a poor screen capture of that movie at 1:29, the gentleman is stepping in front of a blue legend:

That's it Mike! I was trying to determine whether it's an early or later 280Z, but you can't see the hood to tell if it has the hood vents. However, it looks like the wheels are from a '77 or '78 Z? I no expert on Z wheels though. :)

Bumper look like a 77 or 78, has the indent in it, 75 and 76 are smooth.

Good catch on the bumper! I spend more time researching 240Z's, so I overlooked that detail. :)
