1993 Volvo 240 Station Wagon - A Ride Along
Footage of my Volvo 245 in action. I had just purchased it the night this was made. My plans are general stage zero maintenance along with IPD sway bars, different summer tires on custom wheels, and snow tires for the winter. Otherwise, it's just a normally aspirated car designed to run a million miles if I keep up with regular maintenance.
1989 Volvo 240 GL
My 1989 Volvo 240 GL Sedan. Engine: B230F with Bosch LH 2.4 Jetronic fuel injection. Walk around and engine start. I'm the third owner of this great Volvo. He has driven over 330.000 kilometers and still runs very good. The body is in very good condition for so many kilometers. The complete interior and the seats looks like new! The gold shiny paint is very rare and hard to find in Germany. Extras: Power windows and power mirrors.
