1976 Volvo 240 Description


  • The Car is in very good condition from what you can see from the photos and is currently at 184,xxx miles. Has a few rust spots but since I've owned it the haven't grew any bigger. I bought the car with the intentions of never selling it but as everyone knows life happens and your most cherished items have to go. The car is registered in Vermont and currently live in San Jose, CA, due to the car not having a catalytic converter it wont pass smog where needed. The car needs nothing except for the rust spot if it bothers you in the passenger side door. Is wired for sound system and will come with a pioneer head unit, has two twelve inch subs in the trunk. Im sure im missing some stuff but will be adding as stuff comes to mind.
