It's sort of what i expected.
The 240 is a few years out of fashion for young drivers first cars. Alot of them here in Sweden (we made the 240) had V8's and other goodies installed.

thanks guys, I don't think it's supercharged. But next up are suspension upgrades and then maybe some fatter tires.

And next week I might be getting a ride in it, the Icelandic Auto days start on wednesday so I'll have a LOT of automotive related pictures on monday ;)

Stunning example, absolutely love the 240. Would like to have a nice late 70s model with two doors.

With that Cobra badging I would say the old 240 has received a heart transplant.....a cobra-ized Ford V8.
