Do any of you brickboarders know where I can find a grave yard with some 240s around Grand Rapids Michigan?

Hi Mark,
Glad to hear of other W Michigan brickboarders. As far as 240's in the yards, I am not an expert,but they seem to get sent to the crusher fairly quickly, at least around Muskegon where I live. I found one that had just came into a yard last year, they had not even taken the radiator, alternator or wheels off it yet. I had the pick of the car and but I didn't have time to really strip all the usable parts, just the amm, some relays, switches and the like. When I went back a week later it was gone. I would think Grand Rapids would bee better than here as the only Volvo dealer in the area is there. By the way, what are you looking for? I just picked up an 89 245 parts car w/ an m47 and some wagon specific parts I could part with. If I get to the yard I'll look for any new 240's and let you know. Here there are more 700 series that stick around than the 200's.

Muskegon. I grew up there a couple of blocks from the corner of Ghetty and Apple.

My driver seat cushions are getting pretty bad. I could use a decent passenger side seat.

Hi Mark,
Well I guess I can't help you out on this one, the first thing I swapped out on my parts car was both front seats. The foam was getting granualated pretty badly. I did notice on the drivers seat I removed there were two springs not attached and attaching them may have helped some. I too grew up in your neighborhood and played little league baseball with John Lundell, your cousin or brother I'd imagine. Good luck on your hunt for parts, I'll keep you posted on what I find as I try to hit the yards at least once a month.

John, would be my brother.

Yeah. Somebody's scooping up all the 240s.

It was me for a while, but now somebody seems to be beating me to them.

I still have about 4 left. Need anything particular?

U-Wrench-It in Holland rarely has any anymore.

Swedish Car Service in Coopersville still has a bunch, but since the primary business is "service", and they specialize in Volvos older than the 240, well 240 parts is sort of a secondary thing. They sell on eBay under "1800guy".
