[lgb240]

I've had two Volvo 240s as winter beaters while I winter stored my Datsun 240z. My mom drove a 1987 244 for 20 years that we bought new.
I had a 1980 242 GL and a 1983 245 GL, both manual cars. They are heavy and slow. My wagon had IPd suspension bits, so it handled, and could haul everything except ass. They will run forever, but, they rust....floors, rockers, quarters, behind rear arches, hoods, doors, tailgates, around the glass, basically everywhere.
I bought an e28 5 series BMW and said good bye to Volvos. I did like the Volvos, but they are really just too slow.
BUT....if you have a 302 kicking around, it fits quite nicely
