Clean 1976-1993 Volvo 240 wanted
August 14, 2014 09:07PM
I am looking for a clean 240 Volvo for a rally car build. 2 door is preferred but 4 door is ok. I live in upstate New York but I am willing to travel for a rust free car.

A little further afield, but it`s two shells, 3 engines, and a ton of parts.

Kurt it takes only 3 days driving solo...You can pop n here and rest up. Seems everybody else does, so if you don't mind yummie chinese food and a couple of giggly girls, DO IT...

Better 6 days relaxed cruising than 6 weeks welding rust..

Hey you can even take home a couple of pre-bent weld in FIA 07 on spec cages

(we have 4 on the list to do, what's a couple of more?)

There is no valid argument against this.

Ain't that da trooof?
Guys act like its a massive human endeavor, a veritable Stanley's Expidition iin search of Livingstone , the Second Long March, the crossing of the Luding Bridge to sit in their truck or van and cruise cross country.

This was crossing the Luding bridge:



nother view crossing under fire from the local warlords troops





The actual Luding Bridge:


Imagine crossing that when the baddies are shooting at you---and thatt what people make it sound like they will have to do to drive out and get a nice, minty fresh rust free car


And then drive home with this for $500

Or this for same--ex Arzona car

or this for $800

Rusted out Volvos are the rarity out here, hardly ever see one that is bad. Fly out, drive out, maybe hitch a ride with one of the east coast teams in the spring for Oregon Trail or Olympus?
