G'day!
|
Check out this NICE 1983 Volvo 240 GLT Turbo Wagon on eBay!
I keep checking CL and eBay for 145's but they are like hen's teeth but there are a few 245's that routinely appear.
Thought some of you fellow Volvo wagon lovers would appreciate this offering. To start with.....factory power sunroof and 4 speed manual (with OD) transmission! Located in WPB so for me this would be a no-brainer but right now I don't have space for her, sadly  What a sweetheart though......love the white color too!

Funny how I always thought they were butt ugly when they were new, and now I lust after one .

I can't see the listing (ebay blocked), but I didn't realize you could ever get a sunroof on a wagon.

Nice!
What is it about 240's that they still get into my head?  Maybe it's because they appeal to minimalists. |

I didn't know about the sunroof being an available option either. I guess when Volvo moved up from the 140 to the 240 series they really stepped up their game a bit. Although I've always really appreciated how advanced the 140 series cars were engineering wise. And that is a working power sunroof, BTW...!

I just took another peek at the auction pics and that's not just a sunroof...it's a see through sunroof that opens up but it also has a piece that covers it you can slide open and shut from the inside. NICE!

Yeah, I'd drop 8K in a heartbeat - if I had the proper room for this beautiful example. It deserves to be inside a garage. I couldn't do that right now.
This is the type of car you would be proud to be seen with - unlike most of the crap you see on the roads today....

I have 5 cars, so don't have the room, but I'd pick this up too.

Here's a nice local one in Nor Cal that looks as clean (alas, no 8 track, turbo, or manual). Asking $3500

I think that when it comes down to it I prefer 7-series wagons, though.

The listing description reads "unaltered" so that must be the original upholstery as well as paint. That baby has been garage kept for sure.
One other thing I really like too is the "factory SC" fog lights!

I friend had one in the mid 90's, great to take camping but blah to drive. Of course, now I want one. Ever replace the hatch wiring harness in one? |

I've owned several and worked at the dealer both in high school and then later, in the early '90s selling them. The guy who owned the Volvo dealer in my neighborhood in Minneapolis, (affluent part of town), was seriously wealthy. He was probably a sharp businessman to start with but a Volvo dealer in Mpls. is like printing money. It's funny because I've had two friends in recent weeks ask me about 240 wagons for friends who need a cheap car.
