parting out 85 Volvo 240DL 200

Hello all!!
I am parting out a 1985 Volvo 240 DL that was slightly smashed on the front passenger side. The frame member where the bumper mounts is a little bent upwards. Great parts are;
Doors,
trunk lid with a 85'firebird spoiler/wing.

Front windshield is scratched but the door glass and rear window and 1/4s are fine.

Seat's are "soso" with good foam and frames, the lumbar supports work great and are tight. dash is gone as most of the interior is also gone.

gerling brakes up front worked great.

New tires and the Volvo alloy wheels from a Bertone

The engine is a strong runner that had full power and never failed or made any of the normal sounds associated with the Volvo B230F very solid and never missed fired,stumbled or burned oil. Engine always idled at 750RPM smooth as glass.
I did remove the head and the carbon on the pistons is very minimal for a 230,000 mile engine.
The transmission is also a winner, as it has never slipped
(for the techno guys, the trans has never slipped more than designed by Volvo-LOL just playing.)and the trans shifts super fast and hard as I used the Volvo to race Honda's and such. I believe the rear end is a 373 ratio and the car has topped out at 93 miles per hour and held the speed well for about ten miles until I felt it safer not to get a ticket. The car was driven hard every time it was driven and has never failed to run and always asked for more.
The car has a engine,trans and rear end but has been stripped of many parts and sold off on e-bay. Wire harness was a UN-cracked wire harness but was cut apart to sell the hook ups with associated parts.

Car is in Kenton Ohio.
will send clear/detailed pics of any parts one might be interested in. Going cheap!!

E-Mail me at
ibuffcars@columbus.rr.com
if interested in parts or whole car.
I have added this image to show car and color
