240 classics were sold throughout the world, i don't see the big deal?

[GhengisKhan]

Ew... Coronas. Anyone want mine?

[DurableSwedish]

dunno, it looks pretty clean, and is in a color that we dont usually see here stateside.

Wait, something's wrong. Classics didn't come with Corona's. Should be the 15" BBS
And the rear window trim is of an earlier 245. And the leather seats are from a mid-80's GL.
And the color is an early 240 color.....
I think this is not a real classic.

[OldSchoolEuro]

Different markets had different options I think. But yes I need a Corona wheel cap lol.

A Classic is a Classic. As far as I know, the only options were leather seats, and has the placque on the glove box. This car has 242gt trim.

IIRC Corona's were not offered on 240's after '85-86, and mostly on GL's

The Classics, at least here in the US, had 14 inch multi-X 'Scorpius' wheels.

The US Classic 'limited edition' badges look different too:

That looks like the classic wood trim to me.

+1

and John, I was gonna mention something about the dash plaque, but was afraid I'd be wrong, so i didn't.
God. Bringing up classic 245's, it reminds of the HUGE mistake I made by not buying this really nice looking 245classic i saw @ the oakland pnp. A few days later when I returned, it was gone.:grrr:

[OldSchoolEuro]

It is in the Japanese market and I have seen some wacky things over there on the 240s. and 242gt trim wouldnt fit on a later dash like this one.

That numbering thing with the classics was a US market thing.
It also has the 93 auto shifter console.

[OldSchoolEuro]
