I know this isn't a 914 request, but I'm kind of stuck so could use some help. I'd like to find a California smog-exempt Volvo 240, which means a 1975 model, coupe, sedan or wagon. That was the year the 240's were introduced so there aren't many, and cars that aren't totally rusted out don't seem to be very common. If you're cruising the ads here it means you probably also look other places for old cars and car parts, so if you ever run across a 1975 Volvo 240 could you give me a heads-up? Greatly appreciated. Oh, and maybe most important, I have cash.
Thanks. |

Those are awesome cars. I always seem to find them in Oregon. Look at Craigslist in the Portland Oregon area, I believe I saw a few on there for sale very recently. Good luck

Good luck Where I live they're all over the place in fact I own a 1986 245 with over 275k miles and still not burning any oil. Here in the PNW it seems that this is a mecca for them. So, Seattle, Portland and even up here near the BC border in Bellingham would be the places to look. Good luck!!!! I will keep an eye out for one for you up here. |

Forgot, also try over the border in Canada but be aware that they do salt up there and not where I live in WA. It's extremely easy to bring one over the border if it's over 25 years old. Most owners that keep them take pretty good care of them. |
