I am not certain how they differ, but my 1974 240D is an excellent highway car. Fuel economy is impressive, and it gets up and cruises all day at 75mph with no problems. It also has very little wind noise, and feels very stable. When climbing steep grades, the speed goes down drastically, and I have to be somewhat easy on it to keep from pegging the temp gauge. I just drove mine from Corvallis, OR to Crescent City, CA and back a month ago, and it worked excellent. If you need to cruise over 75mph, go the speed limit up hills, or hit the speed limit before the end of the onramp it may not be your ideal car.
