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. |

The 242 DL is pretty fast. This one is stock, right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I envy your plan Paul. I know you're not going for that much power but I just love the idea of and old Volvo with an LS engine. They make a fair amount of suspension stuff that will help with the handling too. |
