That was last week.. blew the head gasket. But since I gotta go to work everyday I needed a replacement in the mean time i'm helping the grey one to get over it's headache.

So i picked this one up last week, has about $ 3200 of maintenance in it for the last 2 yrs and got a new exhaust and ignition and filters 'n all last month but i got it dirt cheap. I think the winter tires and the exhaust represent more value used then what I payed for it :p
Drives like a charm even though it has almost 500K kilometres on it. Hate they put the LPG filler terminal in the side of the car, wtf..
 
This is my 1987 740 turbo appropriately nicknamed by a friend 'the Volvo of power' (or rather the lack thereof)

As you can see there are plenty of very high class modifications including a copper wire antenna, tape around the taillight to keep my bulbs from busting in the rain, missing fog light, missing gas door, busted blinker, and busted parking light :lol:

Picked her up for $1k and have regretted it ever since. Despite being the biggest hunk of backasswards redneck rigged crap, I still somehow manage to like it though. I've grown to love 740s and just Volvos in general since buying it, plus I have a real soft spot for wagons :) In the end she gets me from A to B most of the time and lets me have a little fun without too much trouble.

It came with the standard black grill but I ended up getting a chrome one from the junk yard. I'm debating whether I like it better though, I like the design of the chrome one, but being a white car the black offsets the white well. What do you guys think?
 
My 740 T

Great thread!

Here's my 740 with it's first and probably only taste of it's natural habitat; It damn near never snows on the south coast of England let alone settles!

Naturally I had to find an empty car park:

Home safe and sound still panting after fun in the snow:

My first car; You either love it or hate it. But can you spot the exclusive Volvo part?!:
