1980 Volvo 265 D24 - Northern VA/DC area

[greenmachine]

I have a 1980 volvo 265, that unfortunately I must part with.

I am the second owner of this car and it's been one of my favorites. The previous owner kept it in the garage its entire life and it still has some original gloss and virtually no rust. It starts well and runs like a champ. Why am I getting rid of it? Two reasons: 1) I need the space, and 2) It has developed a small leak in the fuel injector pump. It's drivable with the leak, but it should be repaired and diesel injection voodoo is beyond me.

If you make me a strong offer (like $3K) I also have some extra 200 series parts that I will thow in as this will probably be the last 200 series that I work on (there's a 3rd reason I'm getting rid of it: time). I've got extra front and rear lenses, hubcaps, tan head and arm rests (I refitted it with black as I think they match the dash better), the original volvo radio, and a D24 green book if you need it.
