Its time to sell my 1989 Volvo 240 Wagon.
I've owned it for 7 years and its gone from stock to rally spec to lowered street turbo specification, its been a fun car, but its time to move on.
The car is in a very daily drivable state, I drive it every day, its got a few things that will need attention in the future, and some general things that need tidy up, I've just kinda lost interest in the car and would like it to go to a good home.
If local PM for phone number
Here is a general overview
'89 LH 2.4+T
-291,000km
-Stock 90+ 740T ECU, EZK
-13psi manual boost controller
-90+ manifold, 13c turbo
-later style center inlet/out intercooler
-850 turbo injectors
-Cut ipd springs, ride is decent, great backroad driver
-Koni yellow adjustables all 4 corners
-Truetrac LSD in rear end
-Two front stock sway bars in front, stock rear in rear
-Modified M47 short shifter
-960 lighted window switches
-Virgo rims with yokohama S.Drive tires(need to be replaced soon)
-10mm spacer front(extended lug studs)
-25mm spacer rear
-Stock looking boost gauge in instrument panel, looks stock
-Hella 700FF rally lights
-newish stock NA clutch, turbo clutch would be a good idea for more boost, its kinda clutch slips if boost is turned up more
-stock and working tape/radio(for cassette phone adaptor)
-Factory no AC car
-almost all bushings have been replaced with stock OE rubber(except front trailing arm bushings, got some in a bag waiting to be installed)
-front brake rubber lines replaced recently
-brakes recently replaced all 4 corner(brembo rotors, good pads)
-black cloth interior, super minor wear on driver's seat bolster, but great everywhere else
-a few boxes of spare parts to go with car
-spare rims/bumpers if you want them
-1 super minor spot of rust under floor(like loonie sized)
-1 can't even see rust spot below left rear taillight
-uncommon power aftermarket sunroof(dealer installed in '90) works great, sunshade track is a bit off, not an issue really.
-oil changes every 5000km, I check what needs attention very often, what needs replacement gets replaced
-replaced all coolant hoses a while back
-new blower motor a while back, heater core is original, no signs of failure, heater burns my hands its soo hot.
-got a box of stuff to be installed still, new waterpump, rebuilt 13c turbo, lots of stuff
-too much I can't remember everything, check build thread in sig for more.
Issues at the moment:
-Needs tires, I could even get them for you with work discount if we can come to an agreement
-has high idle issue after extended periods of boost, likely due to no speedo signal at idle, but speedo works, so I'm not sure. have manual throttle body and spare speedo sensor to go with car if you want to try that
-rear diff makes a bit of noise it has new bearings, possibly the backlash isn't set correctly, but I haven't had any issues
-rally lights don't work at the moment, I'll try to fix that before sale
-left rear taillight has small chip missing, have replacement
-exhaust system is rough, quiet but it leaks a bit, has stock 240 mufflers and i'm sure its pretty restrictive, recommend build a proper setup
-clear coat is peeling on roof, paint chip on hood. some small dents on right front fender and roof.
-needs intercooler/rad/air filter mounts made. have stock 940 turbo IC/rad mounts
-I'm sure there are some minor things I've forgotten
Too much to list really, had the car so long its in solid shape. I've autocrossed this car multiple times, never fails to impress me. its drifts pretty good too.
I built the suspension 3 years ago, and then 1.5 years ago followed with the turbo setup, performs great, had dyno'd at 185hp. Solid car, just gotta move on with my life.
$3200CAD bucks or make me an offer in person
