Correct.

Tom Wiley · 02-22-2011, 09:59 PM

Word on the street is that the police cars had the ZF differentials.

Coupe' de Grace · 02-22-2011, 10:05 PM

probably a few of those lurking around the PNW somewhere, i remember the Tacoma WA p.d. also used them. nice find but a tad rusty for my preferences.

Doubt this one does. I'd have bought this car a few years ago if it wasn't so rusty, but that killed the deal for me.

Thanks for posting that!

What size tires are they?

amerbritcan · 02-23-2011, 03:01 AM

addition

245brixster · 02-23-2011, 03:53 AM

That is kewl. I have and restored 3 Mustang Police cars. I have always wanted a Volvo Police Car to add to the collection.

242teeI · 02-23-2011, 05:11 AM

Whats up with the door pocket being backwards?

I thought my wagon was rusty

That interior is pimp though.

Funkee · 02-23-2011, 06:25 AM

Is that upholstery heavy duty as well ? Looks real nice and thick

jimjmorris · 02-23-2011, 09:00 AM

It is heavy duty upholstery- thanks for posting the photos for me, I hadn't gotten to uploading to my site yet.

I got the car for a price which could not be argued for the rust. It's probably worth doing the rocker and floors honestly...

They're stock 14" tires.

I dunno what's up with the backwards door pockets, but that's how she is!

The interior alone is worth what I paid, the new exhaust, new tires (new!!!) and turbo bits make it a killer deal.

Thanks - I think I can get new panels here, though:
