      This.
      It’s not like it’s cheating to just drop an LS into a 240 but it’s a lot more rewarding to stay true to the volvo name. My 240 project car is gonna have that redblock 4 cylinder in it that came with the car and I’m not changing that, just building it up.

    I have had 8 240's, spent $1000 total for the last 4 of them.
    One of the best things about them for the Volvo cult has been affordability and mechanical simplicity.
    They changed very few things in the 19 years they were produced making parts very interchangeable.
    Videos like this drive the price up, but can't say I mind because the more of these that get saved from junkyards the better.
    Probably selling one soon so thanks Donut for helping hype these beautiful bricks. :)

Mom paid for the whole thing for a Father’s Day gift since he had talked about it for years. The old girl absolutely ripped and made a beautiful sound. It had 100k when I did the mods, and the thing went all the way to 412k on the red block before he got rid of it. Ah the memories

    When I was a kid my dad had a red 1992 740 turbo wagon. He bought it new and loved this car a lot. Coolest car ever, well at least in my eyes. It had seats in the back trunk facing the back window were I would wave at people while driving. my dad sold it In 2009 with 180k miles because of a bad radiator. Best memories in that Volvo. I been trying to track down my dad’s original car, but I could never find it. I even contacted the people who bought it from my dad and they sold it to a used car dealer. Hopefully it in good hands for now.
