Description

THE GOOD: Super hard to find SE model. The special edition 240 comes with a well appointed cabin with full leather seating (not the vinyl found on the Base 240 models) and special alloy wheels.
I am the 3rd owner and have had this cult collectible classic for over 10 years, uring which time this car has been totally babied and cared for to the umpteenth degree. I have given it anything it has ever needed. And like any vintage baby, gave it quite a lot!
I have all the service records going back to the original owner. I have personally spent well over 10K keeping this classic in top shape and totally roadworthy and safe. Almost rust-free (some small areas beginning-see pics). Clean inside and out. Body is super straight. Too much to list, ut I'llinclude the service highlights at the end.
THE BAD: Someone recently backed into the front passenger fender/foglight housing while it was parked on my street. As such, t needs a new front fender. There is no frame damage whatsoever. I have the missing bumper moulding and missing fog light cover all ready to go. I have received a quote of $780 from Western Auto Body to do the needed body work which includes blended paint. However, think it's time to pass on the torch. Outside of the fender, his car needs nearly nothing.
This was about as pristine a 240 one might find in the Midwest. And again, he SE trim is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Local pick-up only.

THE MAINTENANCE HIGHLIGHTS:If you are a serious buyer, ou may send me an email and I can forward a PDF inventory of all of the service work I have done to it in my ten-year relationship with my Swedish beloved.

RUST:Please see pics. For a midwest car of this vintage, he rust is fairly small and fixable. There are however, small holes-1 in each rocker panel and then the other typical spots…under the tailgate and a spot in one lower corner of the windshield.
