I don't think it was.

 

Post pics of the Datsun brochure showing yellow from the factory if you have it.

S30's where available in 919 Yellow,

 

 

 

112 Yellow (which was more of a green but is labeled yellow)

 

 

 

 

and 411 Sunburst Yellow (only available on the 77 ZZZap)

 

 

 

 

 

 

dont think yellow was a stock ZX color tho

ok this doesn't look factory. more like "go green"

 

but this must be factory color. still can't find a usa car though

Did a super quick search and found a 1984 Color Chart, but I think the ZX went to 1982?

Found a 1980 280zx color chart, and no yellow in the US.

Its interesting that the lime green actually is a factory color. It is extremely rare though. I think it was a promotion in a magazine where you could win the green car. (1979) I remember it was fewer than the black/red 10th anniv so less than 500 released.

thx for that confirmation. so that top pic "go green" could be original (or slightly off original)

franks280zx 2+2 in the netherlands is i believe factory yellow. he is a hybridz member. that green car looks like skittles car from hybridz as well, but could be someone elses. i had no clue that green was factory, or winnable factory. cool fact

This is the car I was thinking of. It is 1983 though. I thought the lime green was a 1979 feature so maybe they are two separate things. The lime green could be a rare factory color and the sweepstakes green might have been a repaint by the Midori company.

While I don't believe I've ever seen a factory yellow 280ZX, this one looks mighty purdy:

^^ Thats Mike Hintz's car that Ron and Paul helped build. He calls it "butterscotch" color. We joke and call it "Parkay" :lol:
