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. |

That's going to be a hard car to find. None for sale on "all craigslist", Ebay, Classic trader, auto trader or any of the common volvo forums.

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. Super, I appreciate it.

It's the 1975 part that's difficult, just that one year, then one that's not already too rusty for me to deal with. The mechanical stuff is fine, but rust makes a car disappear. You can't fix something that's disappeared so you need to re-create, and I'm not real good at that. Thanks, all. Don't go out of your way, but if you happen to run across one please let me know. |
