In the news … Really real … Thick stack of service records … The Sherrif likes it … This 240 deserves more trophies … How fast were you going? 1984 Volvo 240 Police Cruiser … OG Volvo hub caps … Old-school Monroney sticker … 1984 Volvo 240 Police Cruiser interior … What is an Omni-chief? Spec sheet … Period-correct electronics … Lights tucked behind the grille …

The 1984 Volvo 240 police car you see here was presumably built as a demonstrator for the Alexandria, Virginia Police Department. It doesn’t seem to have ever seen service- and that’s too bad, because it is definitely one of the coolest police cruisers I have ever seen!

The car is currently for sale on Craigslist in the Washington, DC, area. You can check out the listing (while it lasts, anyway) by clicking here, but I’ve copy/pasted the description of the car, below, for posterity. Enjoy!

1984 Volvo 240 Police Package | Don Beyer Special

Authentic Replica of Falls Church Volvo Police cruiser in 3, not 30 year old condition. Original paint, unrestored, and all equipment is period correct for this agency and functional. This car is fully documented with (but not limited to) window sticker, original sale paperwork, full service history in chronological order, picture documentation of build and verified to be accurate by the same police officers that started their careers in these legendary cars. This car started life in the 2nd order of FCPD police cars, but was used as a “demo unit” by the dealership presumably for Alexandria City PD and maybe some advertising. It was returned to the dealership and sold privately to a Lt General in the US Army, who took it to Florida when he retired and kept it in a dry cool garage for many many years. I built the car and have put 11,000 miles on it in 4 months. This car has taken me places I’d never have expected to go & it has been an amazing ride. You’ll notice a dash plaque from Cleveland, a numbered badge from Police Week in D.C, quite a few awards (they go with the car) that are symbols of unforgettable trips and experiences and I can only hope the next owner will continue the tradition and show the car often. It has had all required preventive maintenance completed to ensure road trips without issue. This is no trailer queen, if she’s going she’s driving! Timing belt kit, shocks, struts & strut mounts, fuel pumps, exhaust and more.
