Id pay close attention to the underside.

Some of the 260s ive seen have been lovely from the top, but get underneath and they are corroded to hell.

Obviously the main issue is the shocks, once the cups are corroded, you are screwed, as there are no new ones left.

Its a buyers market, and I waited over 2.5 years to find the right one, in the right colour, and its condition was the best I have ever seen. Even the driveshafts were still shiny.

New one's are not availble but you can send them to Bilstein for a refurb.

Anything can be made to fit anywhere if there is nothing left!
