Just getting back into brickboard after an extended absence due to health issues. To look at my ride which I built in 2000 and still drive today, go to cardomain.com/member/2378723
The car never sees snow or rain and has less than 50k on the odometer.

Think I found it -- black, 4 dr, 5.0L carb/automatic? In Mass?

Looks like you're having fun with it. Sure would look good a couple of inches lower....

Mine is just about to lose the 5.0L replaced with 6.2L LS3.

I often thought about lowering it but sometimes life kinda gets in the way. Being 'old school', I sorta like the stance. I'm not racing it anyway. It's just a cool thing to drive. Did you see this car at the Lars Anderson museum event some years ago? I think we may have met

Car looks great, gotta love the rare black 240s!

Have you been over to Paul Curran's shop? He's got some wicked Volvos out your way.

My first experiment with v8 conversions was an 80 wagon which we drove for 10 years. Paul Curran drove it and was impressed. I was more impressed with all the stuff he had.
He raced a 77 240 at Lime Rock at the time. What a machine that was.
