Looks like it might be 960 SL to me.

Why don't you call and ask him what model it is?

I did'nt call the guy but I am guessing it is a 940 gl or dl.

DO they have the same motors as the 240's?

It's a 92' 940 GL
This is the seller's description in the listing. Some of the engines are the same as the 240.
