This the 3rd Volvo in our clan. Some friends offered it to us for free. They didn't want to fix it up. It failed inspection due to: front ball joints, taillights being out, the alternator was 'broke' and the car had been sitting for months. My mom called me and asked me if I wanted it. I said yes. The interior still looks to be in great shape. After getting it road worthy again, I think that the auto will have to be the first thing that goes. Too bad it's over 2000 miles away from me right now. It will be a good, when I'm home project. It's a LH2.4 car, so I can finally get familiar with the OBD in those cars. In the past few months we have have tripled our Volvo fleet. I'm in heaven. I still haven't met the 2007 XC70 my mom got. She's been having a hard time shifting the manual Honda Element because of arthritis, so she opted for an auto, but at least it was a Volvo.

Here's a few pics they sent me:

 

Very nice ...

 

Do I spot a '57 T-Bird next to the XC70?

 

Yup. I wish I could afford to re-chrome that nasty bumper.
