My story with this car
My father bought it as his retirement car. He passed 5 years later and I inherited it and drove it across country to Florida where it has been my work/fun car ever since. Only this past summer had it started having electric/starter problems during the high temperature/humidity weather and not starting. A replacement of starter and ignition unit did not fix it. So my Volvo has been at Franz Foreign Car testing and ... since. Replacement odometer still not working, exact reading unknown. Jan. 2019 they found a fix and I drove the car until Dec. when I bought a new/used car. On that same day found a oil leak so Volvo back to fix at Franz and they will help me sell it. (Estimated mileage Nov. 2019: 242,701.8)
Did you ever get the 780 Volvo running again?
Yes, see summary above. Now only drive every couple of weeks to keep battery up.
