Where did the 140's go? 140-160

The 140 and 164 have become non-existant where I live, too. The last running 140 series car for sale was a badly rusted out 145. The drivetrain was strong, but the car was left out in the elements for close to 15 years. Suffice to say, it was beyond saving. I know that the amount of plastic used in these cars makes keeping the interior looking respectable difficult at best, adding to the reluctance to keep a marginal car going. It is a shame these cars are not accepted by the Volvo community more. The 164 especially is a great car for covering distances and the B30 is smoother than any of the OHC models after it. Just my two cents, but I am partial to the 164s.
