Hi:
trying to avoid being political here, but one of many reasons I am an active Libertarian is that local governments, HOA's, etc. are aggressive in squeezing small businesses out. If, as used to happen, you have an old Volvo driving and get a few junk units for your parts and sell some extra parts to friends, the junkers behind the pole barn or garage, pretty soon the city might come around and squeeze you out because the land down the street will become Lake Hogwart Arms Estates, pricing from the 350,000, and the neighborhood is becoming gentrified. That puts the squeeze on you, and a modern junkyard can only carry a few parts and quickly scrap the rest. This Old House is high status, This Old Volvo not so much.

Hello,

Volvo still sells some 240/260 stuff.

And so does VP Auto, CVI, Scandcar, Skandix, and I am sure there are others.

FYI, I am an authorized reseller for all of the above, so if you order through me, I make a small percentage while you will almost always pay the same price.

Besides Volvo, VP is one of my largest suppliers and they are adding parts to their catalog every few months.

They do a lot more of the pre-1976 parts, but they also have 240 parts that Volvo doesn't.

For example, I recently sourced all 3 sunroof seals for a 240 from VP as they are the only ones I found that had all 3 seals.

I was kind of late in finding out about Rusty's RPR, and because of that I didn't order any parts from him. I did, however, buy a lot of parts from Swedish Engineering, both from Atlanta and Ann Arbor. Those good folks were on my phone's speed dial for years. We used to have one sole import parts store in my adopted city, now no more. The owner went to his heavenly reward. Rest in peace, Ed.

Thanks, C.B.
