To brickboarders:
I live in Virginia Beach, Va. I have a 1985 240 Turbo Wagon (automatic tranny) w/a blown headgasket and other problems that I am not willing to put the money into. It starts but idles roughly, then soon chokes out. The VolvoStore repair shoppe wanted $790 to replace the headgasket and other related parts (O-rings for something or other). I replaced most of the vaccuum hoses and cleaned some of the turbo tubings myself and it helped some but the car still dies. It is my father's car and he and I both don't have the time to deal with it. I know the turbo motor is good, A/C works, power windows work), tranny shifts alright, interior is great. Engine was never rebuilt - has 153k on entire car. Paint looks alright, only a little rust above rear mud flaps. If anyone is interested in purchasing the car for a little more than what I can get for it as a tax write-off given to charity, please make an offer. I'd prefer if whoever buys it comes and picks it up from my home. It's an excellent opportunity for parts and a great fixer-upper if you have the patience and time. Please contact me at ttiot999@aol.com or preferably, call 757-306-9787 and ask for Rich Polli (my father).
Sincerely,
Daniel Polli
