1982-83, no chrome bumpers and 1982-83 color

:hello: night cub

this one confuses me.

1979-81 tail lights, and while the bumper is lacking the chrome, it's also not color keyed. 1981 (only) 280ZX... I think..?

Maybe it was a newer one that had it's bumper and taillights replaced (like it was rear-ended)? The paint definitely looks more orange than brown.

Tough call, and a great chart, Thank You. I could almost make it either color between these two, but I think you may have a better handle on the S130 colors than I do. I wonder if they may have let some of the 1982-83 color be sprayed early... or a replacement bumper and early taillights installed on a later car may be a good possibility. Since we're talking about a car that was only a few years old at the time of filming, I wouldn't think they would have any trouble getting the right parts to fix it back to original, but stranger things have definitely happened. I'd probably fall off the fence on the side that says it's a trick of the light, that the car is a 1981 in paint code 842, and the taillights are correct. No sleep being lost over it though. Your call how we leave it.

Could be, I was thinking that as well that maybe they replaced the color mid-1981 model year.

Safe to set the model year at 1981 either way probably.
