Hi,
I’m surprised that no one has responded to your post.
I’m a totally 240 person but there some people still rolling around in the 700 series but you have to know the 700 and 900 series have different speedometers made in Japan, i think from the name I have seen on the back of them.
Since it’s a 1991 that puts in the age of when the 240s were still being produced.
I see that you are saying you are from Oregon state so at least you are on the west coast.
I have dealt with the Wagonmeister down in the mid state of California, Near Bakersfield or Lancaster Ca.
He is into refurbishing Volvos and has a collection of speedometers for the 240 series clean and repaired himself I think?
On his web site he lists a service for them but he might have other models of things as he occasionally details out other car for other clients.
He details every inch of his project’s vehicle. At least every inch that can be reach or seen and the cars are absolutely road worthy. He has made a reputation doing it for $$ but if you want it done right expect that.
His web site is chocked fairly well with products he sells.
He is very knowledgeable since he does refurbishments so that goes in hand knowing people and most repairs of course.
I would contact him at his web site Wagonmeister.com. Email or by phone he responds to both.
Another persons web site is Dave Barton.com. The flying moose as I recall.
I was told that Sweden has mountains and moose. It is one reason the Volvos 240 were tough and large enough to get in and out of. That is, when compared to the Japanese cars of that era.
The Swedes are husky people in size and strength so it suited Americans to consider downsizing from their land yachts of the previous decades.
About 2 million cars were sold of the earlier series of 50 years or so of building them.
They stayed European until the break out of Peugeot and the demise of Saab/GM. A little TOO different of style and configurations for the American market, IMHO.
Helps explain how there an early model Volvo following today.
BOTH are worth a shout out! 😀. It’s your cab.
