Hi folks. New here and interested in Z cars. I came to appreciate the Z family of cars recently, after purchasing a book about Datsun from the early cars to the 280. Upon reading the book, it is obvious that the choice is a trade off. By an early 240 with rust prone body panels, but nice carbs and more desirable due to early models, or go for a 280 with fuel injection disc brakes and a little improvement on rust protection? This is a big deal question....240 0r 280?, so I am looking for suggestions and recommendations from you the experts. What about the 260? can we say the problems with the 260 are the same as the 240?There is a 280ZX near me. Body seems to be OK, but I have not looked in details. Probably need to do a PPI. Is the A/C on these cars really weak? this 280 barely blows cold air. Is the A/C something that can be upgraded with better fans, better compressors, etc? I don't care for keeping the car in pure original conditions. I am not a purist, instead I need comfort, reliability, and A/C. Are the 3 bodies exactly the same on the 240, 260 and 280? The 280 seems a tad bigger...is it really? Can the interior of the 240 or 280 be found as aftermarket and replaced? what about the ugly front and rear bumper? Anyways, as you can see, I have lots of questions, and need your help. Hope to own a nice Z car soon. Thanks a bunch.....
