370k miles on the clock, but only about 150k miles on the engine. The engine was rebuilt (believed to be in 2005) by the previous owner, with a mind to high performance. The car definitely feels more powerful than a stock Volvo 240; compared to my 1993 240 sedan with an A cam, it accelerates much quicker, with better throttle response.

- IPD VX camshaft, advanced 4 degrees
- Head faced 0.003", ported and polished on exhaust and intake, and a three-angle valve job
- Bored 0.024" over (machine work by Bush's Machine shop in Clemmons, NC)

Cosmetic:
Car is metallic blue/green (Volvo code: 412-21). Paint is good but wearing thin on scraper trim and drip rail trim, with some clear coat failing on rear hatch and doors, The roof and hood were repainted by a pro shop (not a Maaco job) 8 years ago. Two small dings mar the exterior: one on the driver's side rear door, one on the passenger side rear quarter panel.

Interior is in very good shape, charcoal grey cloth seats and black carpet. The seat foam is solid. Blue/green plaid accents have been added to the dash and rear seat area.
