They do keep following me home. OK, well, I drove 50 miles to find this one, but how many 2-doors do you see any more in the Rust Belt?



Actually I just answered an ad in our state Trader paper, the Bargain News (www.bargainnews.com) and sure enough it was still available. Cool! It came with extra snow tires, a full set (5!!) of Virgos, a loooong service history, a copy of Volvo Performance Handbook and a mint Bentley manual. How much more can you ask?

The negatives? Well, it has a blown head gasket, broken odometer, and it's a bit ratty in the right rear fenderwell, as usual. But the good things outweigh the bad: solid floors, good rockers, supposedly only 100K on it, KYBs all around, IPD sways (and cool IPD emblems on the fenders!!), upper strut braces, performance exhaust, tach, and a working Kenwood stereo. When's the last time you bought a 240 with a working stereo?? I think I'm gonna like this car...
