Volvo 240 245 DL Turbo

1980 Volvo 240 Description

I put this car together 2-3 years ago to be the perfectly 240 wagon daily driver with both vintage looks and the amenities of a later model 240 and I think I have perfected that and have done a number of road trips in the vehicle with no issues. The problem is that the car has been replaced as a daily driver and needs somebody to drive it rather than have it sit.

There are probably a bunch of weird odds and ends I am forgetting, but that's most of it. And when I say "new" on any of that, it means that I installed the parts while I have owned it. There are a handful of defects (dings/scratches) in the paint which can be expected for original 40 year old paint along with some fade on the hood, roof, and top of the tailgate. Further, there is a small bit of chipped paint on the rear arches from trimming/rolling them. Additionally, the vehicle had some awful aluminum trim riveted to the rocker panels which I removed and filled the leftover rivet holes with barely noticeable black plugs. The other item to note is that the cargo area floor panel does not exactly sit flush towards the rear edge as it is from a late model car and is shaped slightly different from an early one.
