texasz Posted May 9, 2005 Share #2 Posted May 9, 2005 I believe that all the 2 seater Z cars from '70 up to '78 all had the same doors, hoods, hatches, and fenders so these are all interchangeable...be sure you don't get parts from the 2+2 as some of those may be different.

hls30.com Posted May 9, 2005 Share #3 Posted May 9, 2005 Almost!The door skins are the same, but the lock mechanisms changed with the 260-meaning the doors fit, but the locks do not match up to the post. get a door for a 240 or early 260, anuy you will have a bolt-on answer-otherwise you will have to modify a few things...Will.

blackjack Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share #4 Posted May 9, 2005 Thanks guys for the info, another question about the doors. I noticed on the driver door the arm rest is completely different to the passenger side is this suppose to be this way or is this just have the wrong interior paneling?Thanks.

hls30.com Posted May 9, 2005 Share #5 Posted May 9, 2005 The only difference between the doors other than being a mirror image, should be a pull on the passenger side that the drivers side usually did not have.Will Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/15855-need-driver-door/#findComment-123172 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will. Thank you for setting me straight Will....once again. I had not realized that there was this kind of a difference. I'll have to make sure and properly tag the parts I just pulled from a '75 parts car I'm stripping down so as to not get them confused and so I know that they will not work in a 240Z.

yukonharry Posted May 12, 2005 Share #7 Posted May 12, 2005 I've got a 72, 74, 76, and 77. I'll check tomorrow to make sure, but I think they changed in 76 or 77. Not sure. I stripped out a 75 for my 72. I was surprised as to what interchanged.

The interior lock pull is in a different location. Now to find a 75 or 76 Z so these panels will fit..., or I could just sell the darn things.Wayne Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/15855-need-driver-door/#findComment-123532 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yukonharry Posted May 12, 2005 Share #9 Posted May 12, 2005 Things seem to be different. Even the door panels have holes in different places. Guess I have to do some more looking myself.

dogma420 Posted May 22, 2005 Share #10 Posted May 22, 2005 I have a 73 240z drivers door I would part with. It's copper color with the brown interior...full glass...has a trim piece added however, to the body line on the outside. No hinges.
