If I could find a 240 stick i'd rock it. Seems like a fun little drift car!

I've had a soft spot for bricks for awhile.
This is my buddy's car it out down a little over 550 whp. 8 valve power ftw!

^ Oh shit, I've seen that RSI Build on Turbobricks...
honestly, that's one of the cleanest 245's I've ever seen...

My roommate's 240 on BBS E50s.

**CorvallisBMW** · 09-02-2011, 02:24 PM

I love the 1800

**Kershaw** · 09-02-2011, 02:56 PM

+1

i actually started searching for them on craigslist afterwards.

**freeride53** · 09-03-2011, 09:26 AM

1800 is a sweet car

**freeride53** · 09-03-2011, 09:28 AM

120 on Compomotives, definitely something other than stock under the hood...

Spencer, does that one happen to be white?
I took a picture of one in downtown Sonoma a few years ago...sorta the same area..

nah its a rust bucket project with a rebuilt motor but needs some heavy body work and paint work, also tranny work i believe. they brought it in on a trailer i haven't seen a thing done to it since :/ been sitting still with flat tires for 3 months.

lulz most every single one i come across is stick, and from my understanding i'm pretty sure they have very little power, under the 130hp range and i'm sure they weigh a ton.
but you could always throw a fat tarbo on one :D

Yeah, manuals are definately rarer on the old Volvos....
But for some reason in the San Francisco bay area, there are a lot more.
Our 240 is a 1991 Model that my parents brought back from Sweden, so it has a lot of the rarer options, ie: 5-speed manual

You must be lucky. Automatic volvos must be a south texas thing haha.
