Bought a 1978 242 from someone on TB (see here)
After a wash:
It's a nice burnt sienna in the sun, but looks a lot more red in dim lighting. Awesome color. The interior is in great shape, excluding the dash. Both dark brown MAP pockets are in pristine condition. Didn't take many interior pictures (one ). Almost looks like the seats were reupholstered when the car was repainted (will take pics after more cleaning).
Came with a TON of parts - most of them are for sale here.
Goals for the car:
I want this to be a mint daily driver. Might throw in some suspension goodies, but will probably leave it all stock for now. Relatively boring I suppose
I will be saving the B230FT, 90+ manifold, and a couple other things in case I find some spare time

Goals for the car:
- Drop in a B230 from my brother's wrecked '90 245, and run LH2.4.
- Install an M46, to keep the cable driven speedo and old dash setup.
- Swap in the front spindles/brakes from the '90, along with the 3.73 1031 for a few more MPGs.
- Drive it to a friend's shop in WV to be stripped down, rust fixed, and repainted.
