The engine is a 2.4 litre inline 6 made by Volkswagen. It produces 82 horsepower.
In the 1970s and 1980s Europe was snapping up diesels as fast as they could be produced. Most the major European manufacturers offered diesels in the US for awhile, but, for the most part, we didn't buy them. (None of the British brands offered a diesel here, nor did Saab.)

If you're looking for something a little different to turn into a bio-diesel car, or if you're just a fan of diesels or obscure Volvos, this car is worth checking out. The asking price of $1200.00 seems reasonable.

My dad had this identical car save for the diesel motor (it was a 240DL). Thanks for the flashback!
I had an 84 wagon. Slow as syrup, but let's give some credit. The D24 engine had 82hp! The Europe-only D20 5-cylinder Diesel got 69hp.
Anon- You are correct about the horsepower. I've corrected the post.
