Q re the last of the '93 240s 200 1993

I have one of these. They called it the 240 Classic. Mine is a wagon. I'm not sure what the split between wagons and sedans was. I really can't say that there is all that much wonderful about these compared to the standard 240 model. It's mostly minor trim differences. Here are some examples:

-Plaque on the dashboard numbering the car. Mine is number 270 out of 1600
-Nice X-style alloy wheels, although these were available on other models.
-Body colored side mirrors and grill trim.
-Wood trim inside. Basically the horizontal strip that is plastic on other models is wood on this one.
-Badge on the back that says "classic"
-I think there were special colors availble for the Classic. Mine is sort of a dark metallic green.
-Power heated side mirrors, but not specific to the classic
-Heated seats, although this was not specific to the classic.
-Non-CFC a/c, although this was not specific to the classic.
-Six speaker stereo, although not specific to the classic and a big piece of junk.
-Cruise control, although not specific to the classic

I can't think of anything else worth mentioning. It's mostly a marketing thing. That said, I'm happy to have one. This is the nicest running 240 that I've had. I'm running with Bilsteins, IPD sways, and IPD strut and chasis braces. At 78K, the ride and engine idle are both smoother than my S70. But it's dog slow of course, like every other NA 240.
