Overpriced M47 245 local to me. Looks like a decent car, but come on... $9k?

I like it!! And a manual? Great color!.....pick it up and ship it over, I'll get the money to you somehow....

Have you seen all the ads by a (shady?) guy in Portland OR with nearly perfect 240s for like $20,000? It's crazy. They're all prepped up shiny and beautiful, they sit for months - I don't know if he's selling them or it's a money laundering front.

It must be... that guy is nuts. He'll clean up and rattle can everything underneath just to make it look nice, then wants top dollar. Lipstick on a pig!

It's weird. I've had friends tempted, I sent them links to low mile "perfect" 240 wagons. The photos are all done in a nice warehouse district nearer the river. If you track down his address, it's in a glass shop out on a strip somewhere. He and his wife are listed / registered as a used car dealer.

Decently priced for a decent looking R - if only it had a swizzle stick...

Right colour too (see what I did there ?), but what would your P80 fleet think about a P2 interloper ?

That thing is truly a masterpiece. It takes a special kind of lunatic to build something like that, and I love it!
