Car hasn't been run since 1992-ish but would make a very good Grp5 car. It used to be Wayne Baldwin's car (he's the Volvo NA parts manager, or was when he built the car). It has 35 events on it, will need new belts, seats, etc. Has the aluminum hood. Think he's got the Getrag 5-spd for it, he usually ran 4.88 gears in the rear end. It has a fuel cell, water injection. It's set up with a stock turbocharger but the owner has the big one for it. It has the European Cibie headlights (glass versions of the plastic US-spec headlights), Euro front turn signals, all-aluminum intercooler, oil cooler, and comes with a pile of spares. Owner claims 250hp. I misspoke about asking price second hand. Last time it was up about 2 years ago its asking price was $6500, but its just sitting there, so may be acquirable for less. Awesome deal in my book to be driving a piece of history, and fun to boot. If we hadn't just got the Colt, I would have gone after this one. I didn't realize that the 240 is almost as well developed as the Escort until I started surfing scandahoovian sites. You can get anything for them. Check out the pics: "Talk about drugs. Driving a car like that, going that fast, it’s like all the drugs at once." - Tommy Byrne "Now, Pinky, if by any chance you are captured during this mission, remember you are Gunther Heindriksen from Appenzell. You moved to Grindelwald to drive the cog train to Murren. Can you repeat that?" - The Brain Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 01/04/2007 06:34PM by wvonkessler. |
