What is the VIN number on a Datsun 240Z?
If the car is a 240Z or 280Z, in the windshield you will see an ID number which starts with “HLS30-“. If the car is a 260Z, you will instead see an ID number which starts with “RLS30-” or “GLRS30-” (for the 2+2 model) in the windshield. You’ll want to make sure this matches up with the VIN plate located on the passenger-side strut tower.
