So I picked this up today... http://macteens.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10109/normal_volvo.jpg (not this exact one, but just like it)
I know, I know, it's not a damn Honda but is there any of us that are still rockin' a Honda? lol well maybe some of us but you know what I mean lol
Anyway, it's a 1985 Volvo 740 GLE, non-turbo. I got it for free from my grandfather. It only has 99k original miles The motor purrs like a beauty. Doesn't shake, sputter or mis-fire like most of the other 22 year old motors you see out there on the road. The interior is in good shape, especially for it's age but the roof liner looks pretty bad.
My grandfather told me he hasn't started it in almost 2 years. I went over there with a gas can, threw the gas in, and that shit fired right up. It runs good except there are a few things I need/want to do:
Oil Change
Spark Plugs & Wires
Cap & Rotor
Brakes
Valve Cover Gasket
Fuel Filter
Air Filter (K&N FTW? maybe )
Tranny Fluid Change
O2 Sensor(s)
New Cat
New Muffler (the old one fell off, literally lol)
So what do you guys think? $300-$500 and i'll have this car in tip-top shape...not too shabby if I must say so myself
