I've just acquired (this past Saturday) a 1971 240Z. I'm finding some parts seem to have been replaced with pieces from later model years (e.g., the hood). I suspect the rear hatch gate is not original as well as the defroster elements run horizontally... I thought on the 240s the ran vertical. Which way did they run in 1971 and for a bonus, when did they change?

I've just acquired (this past Saturday) a 1971 240 that I plan to make a 5-10 long term project of. The car has been repainted a few times, but I suspect the original color may have been red (903?) but haven't yet removed any original bolts to identify undercolor. The color ID plate on the radiator support is missing. Is there any other method (VIN?) to identify the original color? Norther NJ Larry
