1976 Volvo 240 Description

**READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION**
This car is priced for the hood and the headlights, everything else is a bonus. It's not a daily driver, you shouldn't count on driving it home without a chase vehicle, you should only plan on towing it for the hood and lights!!! This car is also listed on Nashville CL and FB marketplace.
If you're looking for a rust free car, go back to search results. If you're going to ask me if it's a daily driver, go back to search results. If you are not going to read the description, go back to search results.
I strongly recommend you come see and drive this car before purchasing, and I'd be more than happy to hang out and talk Volvo and two strokes if you visit.

Good:

Runs and drives - Kjet mechanical injection with AW70 automatic and 3.91 DANA 30 rear end
Flathood and associated sheetmetal are in good shape, would be excellent to blast, paint and install on another car
Currently has a third pedal for all you out there itching to do a 6 speed LS, manual trans was removed
89k original miles (sat most of its life)
Clean and clear full tennessee title in my name
Has a rear hatch from a later model car in good shape
All glass is intact
Tires are from the past decade and could be driven home on
Recent cooling system rebuild (pump, radiator, hoses, cap)
New alternator (charges fine)
External fuel pump installed to replace original
Interior is largely complete, no interior leaks I'm aware of
Frame seems solid (no significant structural rot)
Front end feels tight on the highway, and power steering works
Doesn't leak fluids
Master cylinder recently replaced, rotors in good shape and hydraulic system holds pressure, ebrake functions as it should
All lights work

Bad:

Doesn't idle great, drives at speed ok. Kick down isn't hooked up, and ratio is a little tall for the AW70, PRNDL is not installed, neutral safety is bypassed
Rear hatch hinges are broken
Floors are not perfect, doors have rot, windows have rot, LOOK AT THE PHOTOS - this car sat for a LONG time outside, and remember YOU'RE BUYING IT FOR THE HOOD AND LIGHTS.
One power steering boot is torn, replacement included
No splash pan
Heat and air do not work and have been HARD deleted by PO. Allegedly has a heater core leak, and someone cut all the AC lines. Evaporator is still in dash, condenser is gone, York 210 compressor still installed up front. Heater lines are bypassed in engine bay.
