While reading through Slashdot, a tech news website, today, I came across an interesting post relating the home repair of laptops.
The author said,
"My side hobby is auto-repair and restoration. Together, my father and I have restored several vehicles (1970 Pontiac GTO Judge, 1969 Triumph Bonneville T120R, 1968 Chevrolet Corvair convertible, and a 1982 Volvo GL to Mustang 5.0 conversion, if anyone here cares,) and one of the best things we did was to scavenge junkyards for 95%-complete vehicles that were just rusting away. If we got one with a good body, but a blown engine, then that would be our project car, and we would just scavence a rustbucket that was still good under the hood and swap out the drivetrain."
He doesn't say that it's a 240 for sure, but I'd definitely guess that's what it was (haven't heard of this done in any of the other models, at least out of those that I know were out in 1982). You can read the rest of his comment here. I thought it was funny that I came across someone who is definitely Brickboard material on a totally different site!
