1985 Volvo 740 GLE. Blue metallic (actual name of the colour, how boring!) over blue velour. 79k. Automagic. Picked it up for $500, ran like a champ until I wore out the fuel pump with 3 year old gas.
I'll be putting it on the road some time in 2011 after I take care of a few much needed services. Timing belt, water pump, all new fluids, 960 glass roof to replace the unit in the car now that's stuck shut, reupholster the seats and headliner, and swap over my CD player and speakers. The end of 2011 or beginning of 2012 should see my manual transmission swapped over and my spare (and slowly being modified!) head get swapped on.
Take a look for yourself, it's pretty sweet for what it is. Way better than what it's replacing.
Old:
NEW =O
(Before cleaning..)
After 6 hour detail...
Super excited for 2011.
