Well we went and brought the 240 home, it was too late to start playing with (him/her? we have not decided yet). What we have determined is some of the following needs, I will list the needs and hope you wise brick owners will offer advice on we need to check and how to check it, where and what to buy

Shocks and struts...

tires and rims (we have settled on the hydra with 205's)

the brake lights do not work (brake switch?)

rattle on the exhaust (Sounds like a heat sheild)

head light need polished or replaced

ac does not work (not a pressing issue right now)

steering groans

The young DPO had replaced the tail light so there is one like new and one ummm not so new like, one head light like new, one not so new. She refered me to a huge foreign auto parts yard in PGH I will be exploring here soon.

First impressions, I really like it. All my son's friends like it (Old School Cool was the term they used)

Thanks for the friendly welcome and help. I am hoping to do the shocks and struts this week end if some one gives me a lead so I can get them ordered tomorrow
