Yes the body of the 240z/260z/280z is the exact same. What makes the exterior different is the bumpers and a few badging/vents type pieces. Due to the bumpers being different mounting holes on the body will be different. But the car is virtually the same when it comes to the sheet metal. The 280z does have some safety beams in the doors that the 240z and 260z didn't have but you can't see those.

I originally wanted a 240z but when I was 18 I couldn't afford the 4k+ price they were commanding (now they are much more) so I opted for a cheaper 280z. In the end it really doesn't matter. People will say the 240z weights less but they forget the fact that once you put in the bigger motor, tranny, rear diff that the weight goes up and is on par with a 280z that undergoes simple weight reduction like losing the bumpers.
