Well, I just purchased my very first Volvo. It's a 83 240 DL Wagon with a manual 4 speed tranny and overdrive. I'm really big into older Toyotas, especially Land Cruisers. I've heard this specific Volvo is the car equivalent of a Land Cruiser due to it being tough, easy to work on, reliable, and a tank. I look forward to fixing the little issues and enjoying it.

 

Welcome and congrats. Post up some pictures when you get a chance.
