Not yet. The car is in really good condition. I didn't hear it run. I'm sure it runs well. Also it's a standard transmission with floor shift. June

I'll take a few tickets! Looks pretty clean. I wonder what it looks like underneath.

Saw a nice looking 240 at the junkyard yesterday (not IN the yard fortunately), didn't run across the owner though. I also saw one at Home Depot earlier today, and the guy had walked out of the store just after me. It's really making me want to do something with mine. It's been sitting untouched in the corner of my driveway for months.

I mounted a pair of Zimmermann rotors and Akebono pads on my bimmer. Car is on blocks waiting for misc new seals and gaskets. The quest for a non-oil leaking 540 continues...

A non-leaking E39... that's a beautiful fantasy. One day mine will get to that point!

Of course, after pulling the starter, bench testing it successfully and reinstalling it, having the car start right up, the '98 V70 T5 is now back to square one with a no-crank, no start.

It is. Not sure if it depends on trim level, but the S80 is similar to the NedCar S40 in that there were many headlight variants.
