This is a rare 1983 Volvo 240 with an original diesel engine with a 5 speed (4 & o/d). It's had a lot of work completed on it, and a lot of money spent doing it right. The body's in great condition, and just needs to be prep'd and painted. The interior is in really good condition, just aged. The tires still have a little life left on them, but some new tires should be considered prior to exteneded driving I buy these cars because they have a great, solid, safe, ride...and when driving these cars you sit up off the floor, unlike a lot of cars that has the driver almost level with the floor.... and the safety records of these cars is legendary. In the 25 years I've owned one of these cars, not once has anyone broke into one....and there really is a reason these were one of the top mother cars ever made. There's a lot of room in these cars, and extremely easy in & out. And speaking of a top picks, these cars (Volvo 240) were voted one of the top 10 best cars ever made...and I strongly agree with that!!! Ok, so the work that's been done to get this 240 ready for it's owner to cruise for several hundreds of thousands of miles without issues: •The head was removed, clean, tested for cracks, valves put in- then pressure tested. •New glow plugs installed. •Rebuilt injectors installed. •New head bolts. •New timing belt. •New fuel pump belt. •New water pump. •New fuel return lines. •Radiator was tank cleaned, pressure tested, painted and re-installed. •New battery •New struts •New shocks •New wheel bearings •Rebuilt break calipers •New brake rotors (all) •New brake shoes (all) •New master cylinder (brakes) •New drive shaft carrier bearings •New U-joints •Newer exhaust and muffler. Of course there's a lot of the smaller mechanical support items that I haven't listed...but they were rebuilt or replaced. Center caps for the rims are in the car. The car does run and is driveable, however there's very limited life left in the tires, and the tags expired.The car is located in Blue Lake California, and will come with a clear Oregon title.The car is being sold As-Is, Where Is...I won't deliver.Mileage listed is approx.
