With 240s becoming few and far between, I'm contemplating disassembling my solid '89 wagon with a blown rear for the parts. A local Volvo shop could offer me $300.00 for it. It may sound like a reasonable offer to some, but I'm also eventually going to need a transmission for my '91 240. An unproven rear axle and transmissions are going for $200-$300 or more if you can find one. Thus, just saving a few parts like the updated CPU make partsing it out a financial plus.
The only other possible solution would be if another Volvo enthusiast living near the rust destructo belt of Rochester,NY could use a decent body in exchange for the parts I need.
Included are some pictures. If I do disassemble it, much may be up for grabs.

Here's the good, the bad and the ugly. My girlfriend is the best for helping me with these pictures. Otherwise, it would look like a monkey smeared poop on your monitor.
