This car looks like an excellent prospect for me up here in the tarnished buckle of the rust belt...

...and I signed a contract to sell my house in Tulsa yesterday!!!!! (never thought it would spend just 28 days on the market) This means I am starting to seriously look again for a Wagon. Holy grail for me is a '91-93 240 followed by a non-turbo 940, but this has me intrigued.

I know the '86-on cars and the '81 and earlier cars but I think the '85 was when a lot of stuff started transitioning. I have time this weekend to go look so let me know if I have my stats right:

AW70 tranny
This is in the rotting wiring harness era
Rotary AC compressor
Bosch LH2.2 and Chrylser ignition with the Bosch distributor
New style dash
no third brake light
Early B230 (or is at a B23?)

Did I miss anything or get anything wrong?

Thanks!
