Thanks for your reply 240znz. What I am gathering is that all 240z 260z and 280z models are the same in the body shell save for a few minor variances to accommodate bumpers etc. this body shape seems to have started around 1969 and lasted until about 1980. Is this correct. If it is then any of these models may be suitable to get the traditional 240z look irrespective of under the skin variances? I have had plenty of experience with rust owning many an english car, and needing to repair rust in the oddest of places, usually upside down and somehow greatly contorted. Also restored a Lancia beta coupe! Say no more about rust. JP

Hello everybody, I have finally found a car that both myself and my partner agree is worth owning from an aesthetic point of view. She is very fussy! What Im asking however, what are the main differences between the body shells of the 240's and the 280's. I hope this isnt an obvious and dumb question, but from what i can figure from the searches on the internet they are very similar in body, just lights and bumper diferences. We like the 240z coupe shape what other models had this chassis and body. Also the 2+2 configuration of the 240, does that have a differing rear 1/4 window shape to the coupe. Where do they mainly rust? Im sure there are many other questions, so if you have some advice please pass it on, we arent in a rush to find one just yet but are trying to gain as much information about the zed's as we can to make the right decision when we do purchase. Thanks in advance for your help Justin P
