I bought a Flooded, Junk, Volvo 240 Wagon

[@yogurtdog8346]

A wize man one said "you can never have to many 240's"

[@DeanofMachines]

This right here.

[@stock_bricks]

Wise indeed

[@nyce.monique]

*another one* it's too bad its a salvage title considering it's one of the nicer 240s we have around the house.

[@DeanofMachines]

It would be nice to have another nice one!

[@andersf5464]

The Flying Brick or Torslandatraktor. Please, keep them alive! Everyone smiles here in Sweden when I take mine ('93) out for a run. At one time actually 10 % of cars here were 240:s, now millions have rusted away.

[@DeanofMachines]

I try to save them! We have one sedan that is bent and is a good rally/test pig. The wagons are my favorite.

[@mortimergladbreath]

Please save it! Wagons must be saved! Way too nice to part out.

[@DeanofMachines]

Im trying. I would need to title it some how.

[@marcinbujok7388]

Cmon! The Ole Lady with pointer moderating the video is so much vibe! And she is very supportive! What a Treasure!

[@DeanofMachines]

An incredible asset to the team

[@GeorgesMiniatureCars]

Love these wagons! Seems to be plenty on the west coast of Canada, would enjoy having one!! This one needs to be saved!!!👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻🇨🇦

[@DeanofMachines]

Im trying!

[@JMassengill]

Good to see the boss giving you some crap. I agree with her, those wheels are beautiful. Title problems are a pain but lots of good parts in that car and you got a transmission!

[@DeanofMachines]

If i can sort it out itd be nice to keep!

[@saraa-ol7nd]

Keep it for sure! We Swedes are proud to see the great affection you and many others in the US have for our National treasure =240-series🇸🇪!! Great to follow your fleet and escapades👍

[@DeanofMachines]

I do love my 240s❤❤ thanks for leaving a comment! I would love to visit the mother land some day!

[@ingoperkele915]

Great car, just save it. Its a nice car for a mild and easy restauration.

[@DeanofMachines]

Its a paperwork issue unfortunately. I have the parts to out it together.

[@lunkanx7804]

In Sweden a 245 in this condition is worth 5000$ minimum.

[@DeanofMachines]

I want to move to Sweden and bring my collection of old Volvos. I might be able to retire!

[@lunkanx7804]

@@DeanofMachines 😉😉😉

[@arieplomp8906]

That transmission was well packaged !😜Fon’t throw away this beautyful box. Safe it! It’s to good for parts! It’s a diamont in the rough!

[@DeanofMachines]

Its a really nice car. Right now its just a paperwork issue :(

[@arieplomp8906]

@@DeanofMachines Hope 🤞you van fix that to!

[@DeanofMachines]

@@arieplomp8906 its a new issue for me to learn. We can see what happens

[@POVwithRC]

Ach, the floods always take the undeserving 😢 At least it will keep some other ones alive. Nice to have a camerawoman along too! She is going to hit you with that stick.

[@DeanofMachines]

The car has potential, i just want to remain inside the legal boundaries of the ownership

[@karlbenz4925]

Mein Gott! You area lucky cheese Mr Dean. $500 pistoleros for a nice white ( and lowered ) wagon with "NOVA" 940 wheels, please say that you will save this hunky chunk for the future instead of parting it out. Unfortunately I know nothing about the process of car title process Ala America, but Im certain that you of all people could figure it out. In Dean we trust.....

[@karlbenz4925]

Sorry about all the auto correction in that text🤕 It should of course read "You are a lucky cheese Mr Dean" needless to say🙄 I mean who doesn't like cheese....🤔

[@DeanofMachines]

Lucky indeed! I have a couple ideas I just need time and money. The process in America is a challenge

[@ShawnTheGreek]

White with black trim for the win

[@DeanofMachines]

Not a bad looking car at all!

[@1CoupedeTat]

You say it has rust, is that statement made from the perspective of California rust, Michigan rust, or Norway rust? Three different scales

[@DeanofMachines]

This is from the perspective of new englander on the coast.

[@POVwithRC]

Also voting with Monique, those wheels slap.

[@DeanofMachines]

They fit the car nicely

[@adamv242]

I've owned a few older Volvos but never a 240. Yet.

[@DeanofMachines]

240s hold a special place in my heart.

[@1CoupedeTat]

500 is the magic number!

[@DeanofMachines]

$500 240s are easily the best

[@kilgree]

If she wants a set of Hydra’s, I left a set attached to a 944T in NC. *chuckle*

[@DeanofMachines]

We will have to grab it soon. I’ve kept you waiting long enough

[@kilgree]

@@DeanofMachines At this point, it’s a running joke for me. I know you have a lot going on and you’ll get it when you get it.

[@DeanofMachines]

@@kilgree I appreciate the understanding. I will take responsibility for the cars that dropped in my lap this year. I could've said no.

[@cheharrison7107]

Hey man, what a bargain! Errrm i'd do the thing you mentioned at the end.....you the totally legal thing you mentioned.....my poor 240 has more holes than a Swiss cheese. The Uk is brutal to old cars. Keep up the good work man! 🤘

[@DeanofMachines]

There are many creative ways to put a car on the road.

[@dl242ti]

Looks well worth saving. Good addition to the fleet. My friend the bus driver drove me around Philly the other day. People were driving like you describe all around the city. He looks at them and says. "Oh you must be so important."

[@DeanofMachines]

Its impressive how bad some folks ate at driving

[@deviatefishy]

It's not his fault that the car came free with the transmission.

[@DeanofMachines]

Completely out of my control

[@slickbrick1574]

Color Combo is most sought after. Very nice. I’m also partial to white wagons.

[@DeanofMachines]

White wagons hold a special place in my heart

[@buqwik525]

If you can save this, I would be very interested in buying it .

[@DeanofMachines]

Theres a big IF there.

[@adamv242]

If you don't save it, take what you need and pass it on to someone who will. Maybe even V8 swap it.

[@DeanofMachines]

It's worth trying to save it though with the title situation it's dead in the water right now.

[@taccreed9709]

save it

[@DeanofMachines]

Im all ears if you have suggestions

[@buqwik525]

I believe there is a fellow in Massachusetts who buys flood cars often. Its "Waldo's World. It may be worth a look@@DeanofMachines

[@JB_user5684]

Keep it. That 'salvage' volvo is too nice not to keep. I would drive that car.

[@DeanofMachines]

I would too if i could register it!

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Save this! It’s so dam clean! Those wheels are a 960 wheel wheel I believe

[@DeanofMachines]

Its basically in the same situation as your recently departed wagon. Its just under someone elses name which is a whole new bag of worms

[@SimpsonsClassics]

@@DeanofMachines yes I guess so buddy only thing in the uk is we are made to destroy cars when they are such are write offs which sucks

[@johnlorrieboskovic2836]

I've never had a headlight catch on fire before...

[@DeanofMachines]

They tend to do that when they aren’t in a housing lol

[@redbeardedpanda]

Awesome!

[@DeanofMachines]

Thank you! Cheers!
