Another difference on the interior of my car is my map light is hooded and some other 1970 built 240Z's I've seen the map light has no hood.

My map light was hooded too. I thought a previous owner had installed that. I guess it really was original.

I recently sourced a hood-less one for "series 1 originality". Now I'm conflicted. If I leave the hooded one on, I'll have to refer to my z as a 'series 1.001',

No-no, I said "My 12/70 (16530) is black. And my 6/71 is orange/yellow."

I never knew they made a black 240Z? Learned something today!

Interesting that you two guys @Johnz1971 @w3wilkes both have the hooded map light. Poking around a little, there was a doc put out by Datsun in Feb 1971 that described a bunch of changes to the 240Z for "1971 late models", and that map light hood was one of the changes listed.

But according to the document, those changes went into effect at VIN 21001. Seems that was not correct?
