Vehicle Description
This 1983 Volvo 240 DL, with only 1,464 original miles, is a
pristine example of one of Volvo's most iconic models. It
represents a bygone era of automotive engineering and stands out
for its impeccable condition and unique factory test color, making
it a true collector's item. Finished in Dark Brown with a Beige
Cloth Interior, it has had one owner from new, and the chassis
number is YV1AX8848D2922901.
The car was originally sold through Frank Demma Volvo in Addison,
Illinois, and has spent its entire life in a garage in the western
suburbs of Chicago. Driven only 1,464 miles, it has never been
exposed to inclement weather. The original owner, a friend of the
current owner, purchased the car on a whim in 1983, captivated by
its distinctive build and appearance compared to American cars of
the time. He drove it sparingly, preserving it among his collection
of vehicles.
All original documentation is included, such as the window sticker,
service and warranty book, maintenance manual and booklet
(documenting all service history), owner's manual, and additional
manuals and booklets.
The exterior of the car retains its original factory Dark Brown
(Code 616) paint, a test color for 1984 models, making it
exceptionally rare. All body panels are free of dents, ripples, and
rust, with original paint verified by meter readings. The glass,
seals, and trim (stainless steel, chrome, and rubber) are in
excellent condition.

condition, with no defects or wear. The original carpet and door
panels are immaculate, and all accessories function perfectly,
including windows and trunk components.
The undercarriage is solid, well-preserved, and corrosion-free,
with the original undercoating still intact. The fuel tank was
replaced with an OEM part; the original tank, cleaned and tested,
is included in the sale.

maintained and is in perfect working order. The engine compartment
is in original condition, showcasing a detailed and clean
presentation. The automatic transmission operates flawlessly,

damage. The wheels are in beautiful original condition. The braking
