Kyosho Nissan 240ZG - the ultimate Z.
I missed this one a few years ago - the box insert says copyright 1997. This isn't the usual 240Z, but represents a 1972 attempt by the Japanese manufacturer to homologate the Z-car for racing. Modifications included a new slicker nose with Jaguar-esqe headlights, rear spoiler, and expanded wheel arches for wider tires.

An online auction of a 240ZG calls this color Grand Prix Maroon.

The Kyosho includes a small pin tool to pop the hood from underneath.

Pretty good engine detail for a diecast (remember their Ferraris?)

Good one, Harvey, or should I say "good two." I especially like the mirrors on both; they look practical and also difficult to maintain. Good luck!
