I know this thread is fairly old, but I am considering buying a '74 260 and was wondering how hard parts are to come by for it since they only made it for one year here in the states?

I know this thread is old, but I was wondering how hard it is to find parts for the 260 here in the states. I was thinking about buying a '74 but was unsure since they only made it for one year. Also, will it accept parts from the 280 and 240?

[Hunter260Z]

Keep in mine there are 2 Models, early model looks like a 240 and the late looks like the 280. I perfer the early model. Lighter weight, better performance and it looks like the 240.

[austinnelson117]

Yes it is the earlier model. Carbourated, blinkers on bottom etc. I don't actually own it, it is for sale in my area for $900 and I am considering buying it but I don't have the time or money to search around for parts if it doesn't take 240 and 280 parts. I have read that alot of parts are interchangable but would like to hear from someone who has actually been there done that.

[austinnelson117]

Also, I know that the 260s are also less desireable because the carbouraters are more conservative than the ones on the 240. If I were to swap them out with round top carbs would that really wake it up? Thanks for the info guys I have done a ton of research but still haven't found some answers

Lots of interchangable parts....... Now go buy the car.

We'll help.

You tell him, Dave.

[austinnelson117]

So you guys haven't had any more problems finding parts for the 260 than the other models? I am on a college budget so if I have to hold out for a 280 I will.

[Zs-ondabrain]

NO, not really. fenders doors, hatch, hood, glass, seats, carpet, motors, trans, suspension are all transplantable. Some minor mods may be needed but most parts work with the 260Z. Door latches are different on the mid to later 280Z's. As are a few other parts but it all depends on what you need.

If you're gonna hold out for anything, hold out for a 240Z. Better, faster, lighter, stronger (sorry for the bionic man reference) but I just love the 240Z's. They are lighter, simpler and just better in my book but that's obviously just one mans opinion.

We'll help you out no matter which S30 you choose,
