OH NO! I really have to stop this. Much more and I'll have to quit work to keep up my obsession!

I don't know If I'll buy this one or not, but chances are that if it's still around next weekend, it'll come home with me.

It's an 85 244

It's light blue (slightly darker than baby blue) with blue interior. The driver's seat shows some slight wear on the cloth (NO BAD PLACES THOUGH). The body has pinstrips on the side as they often do and again on the raises part of the hood. Every part of this thing looks great. I mean it's not perfect, but it's very nice. To be prefectly honest, it looks better than my last 85 did and that was in 87!

I "think" I can get it for $300 or less (bought from these ppl very often and they don't value Volvo much). It's NOT running, but I'm guessing it's most likely a simple problem (didn't even put the key in the ign), given the place it's at.

Even if the engine's completely shot, I have an abundance of B230F engines from parted out 740s, that the original engine could donate it's shaft and distributor to.

Wiring harness looks to be in excellent shape (didn't pull back the covering though!) and may or may not be replaced. Motor mounts look to have came in the car and could really use new.

What a deleima! I do NOT need mor volvos, BUT I love the 'older' 240s (and subsiquent older models) and I only have 2 240s now. One's my 79 245 ("The Brick", it's brick colored and death will take it from me), the other's the last car I purcashesed, the 89 244 (which is now destined to head to NC as a Graduation/starting college gift for a family friend).

I really, really want it! I really, really don't need it! If I do end up buying it, I'll most likely let a couple of the 7xx cars go, dunno.

The thing is, I got VERY lucky on the last car I bought the 89 244 and how in the world can I not try to do it again! lol

OK, so this is a rant post. I'm really just trying to talk myself out of it (not well aye?).

Thanks for letting me let it loose,
Frank
