I can't get over 2 door Volvo 240s

No matter what I do.
Like this 72 in Portland.

Or this one in Phoenix.

Both those have the awesome single round front lamps.

This one in St. Louis is newer and cheaper but has the dual twin headlights that I don't like so much.

A) they never made a 1972 242.. that's some moron who put astro turf on his car (first year is 1975)

the grills/hoods etc are all interchangable through all years

Im working on getting the one in St Louis.

I thought my father had a 75 142 in 76 brought to Australia for rally homologation??

Car companies and dealers were extremely lax in model years back then, well you can say the same today. Officially the 140 series ended in 1974.

Charlie,

You still looking for a 242? I've got three...

I'm about 150 miles from Carbondale.

I got a lead on a $350 turbo 2 door. Going to look at it and possibly pick it up on Thursday. Future rally car for certain! Daily driver for a while though.

Im definetly interested wasnt able to get in touch with the guy in St Louis before he pulled the ad.

Charlie,

If you're interested in what I've got...it's two parts cars (a 79 and an 80GT) and a '79 auto that needs an in-tank pump which I have but haven't got around to changing yet. E-mail me. gbfarm at earthlink dot net Cheeeep! I was going to swap the good 79 over to a manual from parts off the 80GT, but life got in the way. If you got a place for them, I can get the good 79 to you, at least.


Grant, does Aaron still have the maroon Cossie grill and the headlights I sent him? The guy that got the car asked me.

Don't know, but I would think he still does.
