I was browsing the Volvo orphan thread, like I always do, when I saw a listing 76 Volvo 264 for $500. I made contact with the seller and he informed me that the car was something he acquired when he bought a 12 car garage. He was just trying to clear out the cars so he could use the space.To make a long story short, the Volvo had been purchased in 1985 and then promptly parked in the garage. It has not moved for the past 33 years.What interested me was the retro styling and the old dash pad style.
The windshield had been busted out by some mischievous kids some time ago. This allowed stray cats to make the Volvo their litter box. It really was a sad state to see the car in. It is now parked in my garage awaiting the next steps of its journey. There is rust around where the windshield once resided. The PRV V6 looks like it has been stopped in time. I would love to restore it, but it may be one of those "forever" builds. The transmission is also stuck in neutral. It goes without saying that everything metal has acquired a flavor of rust.
