Thanks for your insight and replying to my dilemma. I should have said resto-mod since I don't care for skinny tires and the stock steering wheel. I already ordered a nardi wheel and rims. The gold car is a late 260, so it is basically a 280 with a 2.6, it's as confused as I am. I am considering putting the 240 tail lights in the 260 by cutting a larger hole. My hesitation came when I realized it will be 5-10k for a paint job. I thought a more solid body but with 240 looks would be good. If I say it out loud it sounds crazy.

I am curious what people think about 260s. I bought the car I wanted, a 240 with 280 motor and 5 speed for 3500. Turned out the frame was bent so the shop offered a gold 260 with little rust and blown head for 3k. I am putting the car together to make one good one, and I like the more solid construction of the 260 frame. So aside from the fact I overpaid for everything and was screwed on what looked like a good car - is a 74.5 260 worth a full resto?
