Default 1983 Volvo 240DL in EXCELLENT condition

I bought this car from the original owner in non running condition.

I replaced in tank pump and ordered/installed 2 new relays [fuel injection and fuel pump are separate relays on this year] and it now starts and runs/drives excellent!

This car is in GREAT condition, was well loved and is mostly original. Original owner stated odometer mileage of 98,400 miles as original when signing over the title when I bought it but it's sold as EXEMPT per current FL and SC state law.

That said, you'd surely know and believe it by the way it looks so................

Original owner was a boater/sailor and the car sat for lengthy periods of time while he was traveling. It was stored inside mostly but the last few years it varied between inside and outside storage and as such the dash does have some cracks due to the extremely high interior temps even with a sun shade. These dashes are brittle anyways as they age and the heat took it's toll, even the clear plastic gauge cover cracked.

Included [on order] is a custom made, fitted, dark blue carpet DashMat

Outside and interior in remarkable condition for a 30 year old car!

A/C doesn't blow cold but it's all there and he said it did work fine [needs freon??]

In the last year he spent well over $2k on maintenance such as new exhaust system, brakes, calipers, front struts, ball joints, alignment and 5 new tires [spare too].

This is a CLASSIC car in wonderful condition inside, out and mechanically.

I'm a Volvo lover/enthusiast and have owned many through the years but I need something with airbags for my 16 year old daughter. I told my wife this car is likely stronger and safer than most newer cars but she [and the insurance co] demand airbags.

Make me an offer! Enjoy all the lookers and conversations everywhere you go as I have in the sort time I've owned it
