I'd grab it and sell it. Depending how much they want for it you could probably make a few bucks on it if you sell it on VS or SS.

Yes it is only 1 (Volan), and it is NOT in the sunny state of Florida. It's in the hot and muggy state of Arkansas. It is at Volvo's Only 501-849-2484.

Oh, BTW, I left the hood open on my 960 once and went driving down a county highway. I hit 45 before it came open. As soon as I seen it I knew what happened and slammed on the brakes. It folded back to my windshield but by the time it was there I was stopped. The think actually closed but had a few small marks on it about 1/2 way down where it buckled a little when i closed it. Crazy as heck!!! I had seen that happen to a guy about 8 months before and thought it was funny. He was going across a bridge when his flew open (nearing a curve). I did my best to straighten out the hinges but it catches a little bit at the wipers when opening it now.

Just found a full set of Volans. I picked them up with tires for $250. Only thing is that it had this old S70 GLT on top of them so I have to figure out what I'm going to do with it. It has a bad block, so I am told.
