My story with this car
Purchased the car in 2004 for $400 with a blown head gasket. I replaced the original engine with a B280F from a 1990 760 and drove the car for a number of years. However, in 2019 I embarked on a resto-mod project to give it an improved drivetrain using select items from the Volvo RWD parts bin
