Any old Volvo enthusiasts on here? Just out of curiousity.
Say no more, fellas. Friend of mine has two 1800's for sale cheap, and one of the older, 40's lookin' deals.
I could get prices if you're interested.
Love the old Volvos. Not that it's old but the wife drives an 01 V70 XC. Been a great car.
Oh, you guys are talking about cars??
Nevermind, I misread the first post. No longer a fan....
I have been putting an '89 740 turbo wagon back together. My parents always had Volvo wagon's when I was growing up and I have always loved them. My son will be here in December and I figured he would be safer in this than my Honda civic hatchback.
The engine is the new common-rail D5 diesel from the S80/V70/S60. The regulation demands a 39 mm restrictor for the air intake to the turbo, because of this we need to re-optimise the programme for the engine management system. We plan to take out 240 horsepower and a torque of 425 Nm. The powertrain consists of a five-speed gearbox and a synchronised transfer case from the 6-wheel C303
I'm pretty sure it was built for Paris Dakar....and it's rad. I love that thing.
Did you ever see the V70 with Volvo portals? I've always thought that'd be a sweet ride to drop the kids off to the soccer games.
