On the block the 26th. Poor thing is looking a bit threadbare. Body doesn't look hateful, Maybe somebody in the Greater Northeast could save a Brick.

That will sell for something crazy as these things have achieved cult status. I can’t believe anyone would DD these things after driving a P80, but there is a donkey for every sitting place.

I had a 242T I wish I had never sold, and I had a 244, also sold. Then I moved to all 850's. There is a bit of a cult around 240's, and they are well made car, but they are dull looking, very heavy and very under-powered, especially in light of that bulk. I talked to my mechanic a few weeks ago and he said that a lot of shops will stop even working on these pretty soon. There are too few around and the parts are becoming very difficult to find. Yes, they end up selling for crazy amounts that they are not really worth, to me at least.
