    Being a fan of the marque and model (I have a '92 wagon awaiting a V8 engine swap), I must say yours looks good. And where did you find one with such low mileage? But I'm a bit puzzled as I thought 240s had four rectangular headlights up through about 1988? Tony

    1985 was last year for quad headlights.

    Yeah, nice example. By the way, I recently rode from Philly to Queens in Joe Curto's 240 wagon. No, I didn't check to see if it ran SUs.

    I'd bet after spending all day with those little sliding demons, the last thing Joe would want is a car with them... ;)

    Does seem like amazingly low mileage.

    I have had a pair of 240s in the mid 1990's, a 85 DL and a Classic.They were terrific cars and even then a great value.

    Watched a guy autocross one of those in Geneva, FL two weeks ago. He had put a Ford V8 in it. What a wild show he put on!

    I've driven Greg's Volvo, and the mustang-sourced 302 feels right at home in it. If you have the means, I highly recommend it.
