Default Diesel?

All,

As you may know I usually frequent the 850 and XC70 boards (my kid and I use the 850, and my wife has the XC70. I'm looking for (as crazy as you may think it sounds) an older Volvo diesel. I have always liked Diesels and currently have a Jetta TDI but I want a Volvo Diesel.

My question is did they just come in 240 and 760 trim, or are there others. Also, anyone know a good way to locate one of these gems. I have looked a bit but nothing so far.

Thanks,

Glenn

The 240 and 740/760 were the only ones to come to the U.S. as a Diesel.
They are getting really rare. Alot of them have been converted over to gas engines.
Once something happened with the motors alot of people would put a gas motor in and change the tank and fuel pumps and go.
