I`m in Norway and the 260Z was produced In the late 74` and Early 75`.my dad told me that and he knows almost Everything about Datsun

might have to do with how the model years are broken down there, we generally see new model year cars at the lots on september here, not sure when the produstion brakes were for the 260 here but should be from july or august of 73 till about the same of 74, we also recognice them as early or late depending on if they got the skinny 240 style bumpers or the later 280 style bumpers, and while most of them were carb'ed some managed to get fuel injection towards the end of the run

I hate the Big 280Z Bumpersthey are so ugly.To bigmy fathers 260Z i think is from January 1975.and it has the slicky 240Z bumpers
