9 grand my a$$...
I will repeat myself yet again. 240's have definetly attained cult status, but they are far from collector status, and an 83 Flathood while unique, is no exception. Especially this car. I remember it from last fall. It was listed twice and finally sold on eBay last year for no more than 4 grand (borderline insane money as is). So how does it being a little further east make it worth twice as much? A nice, straight original Flathood might get 6 if it had way low (say under 60k) miles.
This car is far from perfect with 138k miles, repaint full of haze and overspray everywhere, lower window trim missing, sandblasted but not recoated Virgo's, incorrect black upper dash, A/C switch anchor broken, incorrect badges (I love the GLT badge off an 850!!!) off colour leather, off colour trim in the rear and this is before we even get to what might be lurking mechanically.
Renewed by a Volvo enthusiast yes, but more likely purchased for 500 bucks, cheap $300 paint job, throw in a few other parts that have been accumulated over the years for next to nothing, and you have a smiling Brickhead who just made a sizeable profit.
Hmmm... I wonder if I'll be offered 10,000 for my 121,000 km (75k mile) 82 242 GLT when it's back to show condition....
