To commemorate the production end of the iconic 240, Volvo introduced a special model, the ‘240 Classic’. Only 1600 were produced and #1549 is what you see here. Well optioned to start, the ‘Classic’ was available in a choice of Ruby Red or Dark Teal Green exterior colors, featuring unique body-color grille and side mirrors, and real blond wood dash trim. I love the hallmark clean, simplistic and sturdy design of the 240, it’s been an absolute pleasure owning this car. I look forward to it finding a good home. Happy bidding.
