Re: 242 or 244 200 84

If you ever need to do work on the 242 in terms of doors/trim and items like that they are rarer than the 244. It is harder to get passengers in the 242 vs 244. I myself drove a 84 245Ti for 3 years and loved it even though it was on its last legs. I bought a 82 242 last may and love it. It has minor issues that I need to repair but nothing like the 245.

The 245 will haul more cargo and such if you need to do that, that is one thing I miss.

Maybe try sitting in the 242, 244 and see which u prefer. They are both great cars. What are you going to be doing with it? Basing on your HP numbers, race? or just like to have that much :) If so, like u said the 242 is great for rigidity.

take care
