What is an example of a version that works? I have a tried a few versions and they don't seem to exist. Perhaps, I am doing something wrong.

@royfrancis by some reason all links return 404.
You can try to download from here (some archive) - https://mirror.cs.uchicago.edu/google-chrome/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/

The URL seems to be missing part of the filename. With this change it worked for the version I needed:

-google-chrome-stable_${CHROME_VERSION}_amd64.deb
+google-chrome-stable_${CHROME_VERSION}-1_amd64.deb

Thanks, I was able to download the 140 version I needed after adding the '-1' to the version that @aqt mentioned.
