Two side windows, bench seat in the rear, no nose stretch to move the CG forward, etc. They DO get the single-sided main gear forks, hubcaps and probably other mods. The gross weight is 100 or 200 lbs less than the -B and -C models. The net result is that the book speeds are fastest for 1965 260s out of all the 250-260 line, but I'm not sure it's by 5 kts. The fastest 250/260 would be the one you got for cheap due to the poor condition of the cowling and upgraded to one of the more streamlined aftermarket cowls. -- Ben Jackson http://www.ben.com/
