Possible Project Car...Need Help!

[bweber]

Hi Everyone,
I live in Norman, OK and own a 1998 V70. A "1983 Volvo Wagon" was advertised in the Oklahoma City paper. They are asking $600 and the ad says it needs new motor mounts and a fuse for the windows.
I have not gone and looked at the car or have yet to get ahold of the guy selling it, but I have some questions that maybe you all can help me with:
1) Is a 240 the only 1983 wagon out there?
2) How much do engine mounts run?
3) If I wanted to put a re-built engine in the car, what years/types of engines can I put in it? How much would that cost? And where could I get it?
4) Are there any other big problems I should know about this model.
As the car is only $600 I am not expecting much. However, it is that nice old volvo green and I can see potential from the picture and I would be willing to drop a few 1,000 into the car in order to make it a daily in-town driver.
Thanks for any help you can offer...this site has helped me more than you know!
