Default 1986 Volvo 760 GLE Turbo

My name is Russ - Just got this car given to us by father in law - great body & interior shape - engine runs rough. Nice project to get running right and make an every day driver out of. 230,000 miles - Gold color with black leather interior.

That may be the best car EVER made. The motor in those things are made to last 1,000,000 miles. I met some guys a few days ago that install turbo chargers from city buses in them and make a few other minor mods to make those things fly like a jet and they are still able to drive them daily.

Post some pics. I put over 400,000 on my red block Volvo.

Here are some pictures of the car. Do you know where I can get a vacuum line and electrical diagram of the car? There unattached vacuum lines and the heater blower and power seats don't work. Along with one window switch on drivers door.

Thanks

Russ

Not sure where to get those hoses etc. Try the dealer, www.iPDusa.com and www.FCPEuro.com.
