Only thing I'd do to a G-nosed S20 Z is adding Hayashis, it just looks so...right.

a tornado hit his car and flipped it. He found it after, flipped it back over and started it up and drove off.
Bonus points - Make and Model of this thing?

Needs lifted by about 1-2cm and a little less camber, then it would be perfect.

Oops, I don't know my early Z cars too well. How can you tell it apart from the 240? (pure ignorance speaking)

The badge that says "280z" at the bottom. US-models don't have the 'fairlady' badging either, but european ones do.
Here's a quick rundown for US spec models:
1. "Early" 240Z: (fall 1969 - spring 1971): Angled "fairlady" badge on the rear hatch. 2 horizontal vents under the rear glass on the hatch. No badge/vent on the C pillar.
2. "Late" 240z: (summer 1971 - 1973): None of the aforementioned, "Z" Badge on the C pillar.
3. 260z (1974 only): 260Z badge, some were 2+2 (different roof shape to allow for rear seats, looks sort of ugly, and lengthened wheelbase by ~5inches or so I believe). Front bumpers have rubber covering the entire two vertical sections, prior bumpers were only rubber on the front face and chrome on the sides.
4. 280z (1975-1978): Different hood with a raised center section and two vents on either side (like the one in the picture, but less exaggerated). Bumpers are now much larger and considerably bulkier. Orange marker lights inside the front grill. Some had a chrome/rubber stripe along the side of the body. Some have a "5-speed" badge too.

Interesting stuff; my screen at work blows so I couldn't make out the badging. Thanks for that most comprehensive of quick run downs!

And that's just the exterior! Mechanically there's some huge improvements on the 280Z too.

I will never tire of learning about Z cars. Sounds like I've got reading up to do tonight!

The 'vert would have more bracing to handle being topless?
