Looks like a ''74 Z. Used to be one in the autocrossers locally. Ran good but really rust prone. 
Faces look great but will stick w/ stock.
BTW if your Dad''s Stingray is either a mid-year or a shark, might consider using the crossed flag logo that fit that model but after looking at again, maybe it does.

The gages look great. how do you apply them? are they printed on vinyl with adhesive on the back?
looking at the bumpers I was thinking ''''75-''''78 280Z? The Fairlady was an early 240Z, ''''70-''''73. ''''74 was a 260(only year made) with Chrome bumpers. I believe the bumpers were Chrome thru ''''74? (240 and 260)and went to aluminum in ''''75 - ''''78?, last year of the "Z"
''''79 was a 280ZX
They are really rust prone like you said especially under the battery tray and the back decks if they have the louvers.
I have an early production(rare) ''''74 260Z with Webber''''s and a ''''77 280Z FI, project cars, LOL! The 260 was their first attempt at Fuel injection and only lasted one year(''''74), a few early cars were lucky enough to get the duel Webbers installed before the FI came on line. They worked out the bugs in ''''75 and changed it to a 2.8/280Z.Cheers
PS: I don''t know much, LOL! so when something comes up I might know a little about I have to speak up makes me feel like I''m "contributing" Not trying to be a jerk or anything

I''ll certainly defer to someone that owns one. 
It just looked like the rear bumper stuck out like the ''74 since that was the first year for the 5 mph rear bumper req''t plus the side insignia looked like it said 260Z. (can''t really tell tho)
Did you ever autocross yours?
