“Buy Volvos, they’re Boxy But Good!”
I had a ‘76 240DL and an ‘82 240DL. The ‘76 got stolen when it was in the shop to get the clutch replaced.
The ‘76 was green and I actually called it the “tank”.
That 2.4 liter 4 cylinder engine would go forever. Even over 1 million miles or more. However, all the other parts on the car wore out. I had to replace the water pump, alternator, fuel pump and a couple other things on the ‘82.
I traded it in on a brand new 1988 Toyota pickup. With another great 2.4 liter 4 cylinder that may still be running somewhere in the world. Like Afghanistan.
