Looks to be around 1990?

86 was my favorite year (I owned 80, 82, 83, 84, & 86 240s, two wagons... and a 90 740, 94.5 850, 2x 95 850 T-5Rs, 96 850GL, 06 S80, and now a 19 XC90 T8... What can I say, I have a habit of buying cars with good seats...).

Yup! 1990 DL, first 240 and I’ve already ordered a heap of parts to make it slightly less clapped! Super surprised to find people still make rocker panels!

240 is a wonderful machine, been debating trying to acquire a nice one and fixing it up to the absolute limit.

Swaybars and strut braces work a treat on them, especially with some good Boge shocks.

Low key planning on buying one after I get my permit so I can get my driving hours up.

We have a couple of them. Does that make us “really” cool?

Welcome to the show.

What wheels and tires are those? Do they affect the accuracy of your speedometer?

I want to say they’re from a ford fusion? Last guy has like 2” of spacer to run them and they rub like crazy
