    My 1981 240 (actually a 244) ate it's fuel distributor
    and I've decided not to fix it.

    It's been replaced with a 1991 940 Turbo that my
    mechanic had for sale.

    The 240 is in pretty good condition considering it's
    over 20 years old. The plastic speedometer drive gear
    in the transmission stripped itself about a year ago...
    the speedometer says 243,00 miles, I estimate that it has
    about 250k to 255k on it...

    The car has:
    Brown interior
    green paint (hood is shedding the clear coat, rest of the car is fine)
    Seats seriously need re-upholstering but are intact and complete
    Engine needs fuel distributor
    3-spd auto trans rebuilt less than 2 years ago (not the overdrive
    version)
    Copper radiator less than 2 years old
    All sheet metal is straight and NO rust
    Tires are less than 2 years old
    in-tank low pressure pump replaced about 6 months ago.

    I have spares:
    one set of injectors and the high pressure hoses for them
    one high pressure fuel pump
    several trim parts

    I'd really like to sell the car intact rather than part
    it out as I have no space to dismantle the vehicle and
    sell off the pieces... and with work and other obligations
    I honestly don't have sufficient daylight hours to part it out.

    In short, if you can fix or swap the fuel distributor, and
    can live without a speedometer, this is a pretty good
    deal.

    Could fix the speedo fairly easily too and it'd be a decent car, not in my
    area though.

    Dealer says the speedometer gear is no longer available. But
    240s from that vintage are fairly comon in the junkyards. You'd
    want the gear and speedo cable.

    Just realized that I have a complete spare instrument cluster too.
    And where is that, just out of curiosity?
