About this vehicle

This is our turn key wagon we have been working on since September of last year with over 150 hours in shop time. Please contact us for more photos/videos, we have hundreds. Listed with no reserve.

1989 240 Wagon with third row seating. Metallic gray paint with tan/beige interior. The paint is 9/10 with only a few minor scratches and blemishes as shown in the photos. Automatic car with 242k on the body and less than 100 miles on the motor swap and refresh. The car came to us from West Virginia from a fellow Volvo enthusiast with an engine that had crankshaft play, so we installed a freshened up and engine from a 1992 Volvo 240 wagon with tons of work performed just recently. We believe it is the original paint with no sign overspray anywhere that would tell us otherwise.

All 4 power windows function properly without delay or lag, turn signals work, wiper stalk works, all the lighting works, 
tailgate stays open without any extra supported, comes with 3 keys, headliner is perfect and intact with no tears or rips. All 4 chrome door handles operate great without any excessive noise or pulling. Trailer hitch is installed for extra curricular activities. All 4 door cards are in excellent shape without any tears or rips.

The heat blows fine with no sign of a failing blowing motor or heater core, the AC is still set up for r12 and has not yet been converted to r134a. The driver seat was replaced with cloth instead of vinyl however we are including a vinyl bottom seat in excellent condition and when we come across a vinyl top we will give it to the new owner free with shipping included if necessary to make the interior matching.

Overall it is not an absolutely perfect car, but it is excellent and will drive for another half a million miles. The minor interior parts that are not perfect can be readily and easily replaced to make it perfect. 

Our team has spent well over 150 hours saving this Volvo and preparing it for a new life, we have learned a lot working on this car and we are happy to pass it on to a new owner who will love and cherish it hopefully for decades to come. We have done so much to car this car as turn key as possible for the next owner.
