I've got alot of valuable tips on trying to get good looking 89 240 running. Thanks, but it's still not running. It did for awhile on the 9/3, but it's failed again. I bought the car about 1 month ago and have been troubleshooting why it won't run. I only paid $250 for the car, so if I get too frustrated with troubleshooting, I'm thinking about using it for parts to restore my 87 240 which runs like a top.

Got out my Bentley service manual, and it looks like the igition and fuel injection on the 89 are really the only components that wouldn't work on the 87. Engine, tranny, front/rear end, body, etc. seem to be identical. Is there anything else that I might be missing that wouldn't swap out. Or, am I crazy for considering this? Steve
