I need this

There are 6 242s listed on "blocket", the swedish equivalent to CL, within a 2hour drive from me. How many would you like and where should I send them? And yes, the car on the picture is Swedish (but you probably knew that already).
I am no Volvo-expert, but I think that a 5cylinder engine from an 850? That is a really good engine, at least.
Around here, every farmers boy has one, since the Volvo 240-model once was the most common car on the road in Sweden and drivetrain-wise they never ever die. Their problem has always been that they are heavy and that they handle poorly. Dispite that... yes, I have consider buying one, just for fun and perhaps a bit of rallying on the frozen lakes in winter times. Like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eftw5...eature=related
What they are usually used for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-u9id3yVEc
Edit: Did the 240 Turbo ever make it to the US?
Edit again: Maybe not the best way to promote the 240, but a proof that they make fairly good rally cars: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-DiK...eature=related

Those volvos are beasts. I would love to own one but I cant afford another car atm... my dd is a lexus ES300, my autotragic miata is registered as "parked, non running" and the woman says I cant even think about the other miata until after christmas... let alone another car... might ditch the lexus at some point, but its a great car.
At the Fallon raceway I have seen some of those volvos destroy cars way above its own price limit.

This is the car that first got into turbocharging. I watch this video at least once a week to help me stay motivated for more power.
I'm hooked on the idea of making cars that are not supposed to be fast....fast. This was it for me. I ripped my supercharger off and starting hunting for turbo parts not even two weeks after watching this video.
One day....one day I will have a turbo volvo
