There are not that many left of the older 240 Volvos left.
I had two. The first was a 1976. It was green. I called it the tank. I bounced it off a couple trees one winter day. It hardly scratched the paint. It was stolen from the place that was replacing the clutch at 91,000 miles. I replaced that with a 1980 two door Volvo 240 coupe. I traded that in for my first Toyota pickup truck in 1988($10,600 new). I sold that and bought a 1999 Tacoma($22,500). I traded that in and bought a 2012 Tacoma($30k). Each Toyota I put about 110K miles on before I sold or traded them in.

They were tough, if rather prone to premature rust in places where a lot of salt is used. I had a 245, which had been my parent’s car before that. Slow, but strong. I lived with a couple of friends in a house on a fairly steep hill at the time, and had lent the car to one of them on a snowy day. He spun out coming down the hill, bounced the car off a telephone pole (bumper hit) pretty hard, slid to the bottom of the hill, and then managed to drive back up and park it. I didn’t even know anything had happened until he mentioned it to me some time later. Those bumpers could really take a hit.
