Up for sale is a very rare, 1st year 1980 265, aka 240, 245, diesel wagon with 92k miles. It is the only year for the diesel wagon with the early dash (which doesn't even have a single crack in it), and early tail lights. It has the D24 6-cylinder factory Diesel engine that was made for Volvo by VW/Audi. The engine smokes. It runs OK otherwise, and starts with ease. Even when we were -10ºF last winter, it started up with no trouble. It can be driven, but I haven't driven it more than about 100 miles total since I have owned it. It is antique tagged in DE through October 2016 and passed Delaware inspection last October 2014. The car is nearly rust free except one small spot on the drivers side rocker which was difficult to get a good picture of, so I didn't. It has a manual M46, 4 speed transmission with the factory Laycock J Type electronic overdrive and a supposedly new clutch. The overdrive works properly and the clutch does not slip and feels to be in good shape. It has 4 nearly brand new snow tires. Windshield was replaced with the OE Pilkington (OE supplier of the glass) windshield last October. This car is very solid. Floors and behind the wheels are in excellent shape. A very rare find. The interior seats are not perfect, as the tan vinyl didn't hold up well on any 200 series. The headiner is not great either, but as previously mentioned, the dash has no cracks. The remainder of the interior is very clean. Included in the sale is a 1984 245 diesel wagon (not pictured, don't have a way to take pictures at this time) which is strictly a parts car. The parts car has a good engine, good manual transmission, and a bunch of other good parts. We were planning to swap the engine from the parts car to the brown car. It does not smoke and I am told it uses almost no oil. We purchased that vehicle from a customer and know it to be a good engine. The brown 1980 265 has a clear Delaware title. The gray 1984 245 diesel parts car has a PA title which we signed as the buyer. We have no intention to title the car, and never did. The parts car is in poor condition (severe body rot and dents) and is strictly a parts car. Have other projects and am trying to be realistic about what we want to keep. I will also include all of the parts that I have for the 265, that is, brand-new parts such as, but not limited to: Set of Contitech timing belts Contitech accessory belts OE Volvo motor mounts which are no longer available OE Volvo heater hoses which are no longer available OE Volvo breather hose which are also no longer available Bosal replacement header/downpipe, which is also no longer available Single piece updated rubber valve cover gasket 6-new Bosch glow plugs Tailgate wiring harnesses Used set of tailgate hinges and more that isn't mentioned... Available at an extra cost: Partial set of factory tools to properly work on this engine. (Tools ONLY available at an extra cost) As mentioned, most of these parts that are included are no longer available from Volvo or aftermarket. I am NOT interested in separating the parts or the cars. Selling the cars ONLY as a pair, and the parts with the sale of the car. The '80 is located in Wilmington, DE 19810 and the '84 parts car is in Wilmington, DE 19804. The '84 may be moved to Newark, DE 19702 prior the the end of the auction. With a little work, this car would be a great car, and would really turn heads. Selling AS IS. No warranty expressed, implied, or otherwise offered. There will be absolutely no refunds given for any reason whatsoever. Full payment due within 3 days unless other arrangements are made. Vehicle must be picked up within 10 days from the sale date (unless other arrangements are made and agreed to) otherwise there will be a $25.00/day storage fee charged starting on day 11. There is a $150.00 non-refundable deposit due immediately following the sale. Buyer will be responsible for ALL paypal fees if paying for the deposit or balance via paypal. I am a reasonable person and will work with the buyer in any way that I can. If having the car shipped, I can work with the shipper as much as possible. The car does drive, but we have not gone far with it, so it would be at your own risk if you decide to drive it. Thanks for looking!
