So the super for the building next door saw me working on my 245 in front of my building yesterday and came over to tell me about how much he loves these cars. He now owns a jeep but told me how he used to own Volvos for like 25 years before his wife forced him to get a jeep. He told me that his brother was the super at the Dakota for many many years, and that his brother picked up a 264 that he claims used to belong to Yoko Ono. His brother sold it to him, and when he went to register it, Yoko Ono was listed as a prior owner. He has since given it to family in the Dominican Republic where it apparently is still going strong. Cool story. Incidentally, when I'm working on my car out in the street I often get complete strangers coming up to me to say they love the 240 and how it reminds them of a time past when they had a 240 in the family. These are indeed special cars.
