A lot of parts will be the same and a lot won't. The list would be large to say at once. The best thing to do is call or email on each part you want to swap when you are ready and I can tell you then if they will work.

It's a good solid car with little or no rust in all of the usual suspect places. Original paint all around, and I had no problem with the magnet sticking everywhere. I had it on a reliable source that the car ran great for about 3 weeks after the PO spent $900 on carb work (saw receipt) before it returned to its somnolent state. Upon removing the carb cover, all we could smell was varnish, and the PO has told me that he did not do anything to the tank or lines. Hmmm, I think we figured this one out. While working through this, I happened, by chance , to come across a '69 280SE with a seized engine. The body is pretty good (not as good as the 250S), but the interior trim pieces on the doors and dash are all better. I am thinking this could become a donor car for the 250S, but am concerned about the compatibility of the parts, i.e: fuel tank & lines, suspension parts, AC parts, steering pump, etc. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
