1990 Volvo 240 DL

Mine, very affiliated.

Car runs and drives fine, but is host to many squeaks and rattles. I used it as a winter daily/back up car/rallycross car. Everything from the head gasket up is from a newer (1993?) turbo 940, with the boost set to about 9psi.

Consistently "middle of the pack" in Modified Rear at Detroit Region Rallycross events. A couple weeks ago I drove it 2 hours to Ohio for an event, rallycrossed all day in 90+ degree weather, and drove home without issue. Biggest problem is rust; the drivers wheel well is bad at the trailing edge, and there is some rust around the cowl/windshield. I can get detailed photos if someone is interested.

I can be reached via email at artur1808@gmail.com

Swwet looking car. I like the later wheels on the 240. Good luck with sale.

This is perfect. Dear God please let someone on here pick this up. I only wish that I was in the position to do so.

I've had an itch for one of these as of late. But I would have to sell a Saab first.

Cool car! I've always wanted to try a turbo brick, and it's in the next county over from me! Don't suppose you'd want to trade for a ratty Civic...

Yeah, didn't think so.

Edit: I ask in jest because I have a spot in the driveway but no car money. Hope it goes to a good home!

You know, depending on the condition of the Civic I could be convinced to do a trade. If you're serious about it, shoot me an email and maybe we can set something up.
