Hello all-Just picked up an 87 240 today 1 owner 94,000 miles in really good condition save for a few dash cracks. White with blue interior. I'll post pics up as soon as I get some taken.

Have lurked around for a few days before the purchase. Just thought i'd drop in a say hey.

Welcome to Swedespeed, Corbin.

'87 - a good year for the Volvo 240 - enjoy!

Dash cover or repair?

87 is a good year for Volvo. Sep the head lights get milky. Try to find glass replacements.

Will probably go with a dash cap. Anyone have any recommendations? Yeah, the headlights are a little dull on the car. Will definetely get replacements

thanks guys

Try Ebay or IPD for dashpad solutions. You may even scare one up in the JY that is in good shape.

Here is a link: http://www.fcpgroton.com/volvo240lamps.htm

Looks like 55$ ea for new lens.

Give these guys a call or FCPGroton a call and see if they will hook you up with a good dash pad:

Sedan

Picked it up from the indie volvo guy this morning from a thorough check and he gave it an ok. Man, these things are like tanks. Have had 2 saab 900's in the past. I'm really excited about having this volvo.
