Here is what $700 bought me in Volvos
Here is a pic of my twins...well not exactly the one on the left is my 93 the one on the right is my 94, but yep $700 and some sweat...LOL. Both run great and are very nice...not 700 each ...700 for the both of them... don't look in the garage close..cuz you will see another 93 that has paid for itself in parts for my 2 rides...:-)

They are beauties! I believe the 850's that are left standing will stand the test of time as a classic model, right up there with the '65 Mustang fastback — in a different way, but just as pleasing to the technical eye. Too much fun to drive tho, to stash them away in a climate controlled warehouse.

Psaboic...you are right in this case I was lucky. Perhaps my best purchase of all was the $300 volvo in the garage. The one car that will head to the scrap yard this week gave me just the right parts to complete my other 2, and I sold parts off of it for a total of $600 incl scrap value... so the car, gave me a head, some seats, which I am peeling the leather from the rear seat, and making a pair of good front seats from them, Along with the leather that was on the front seats, so I'll get a perfect pair of front seats out of it. I got a power antenna that worked great, mine is stuck, ends up the Printed circuit board has a bad transistor, I'm fixin it tomorrow...took some clips, etc and other stuff off it to make my 94 almost a PERFECT car...95%
My 93 isn't real far behind...but still a work in progress...Runs good and looks good just the details need to be worked out...
Thanks

JPN ...
Did the 94 Look like this?
And yesterday I Made the round trip to the Detroit Airport in my car and used 4 gallons of fuel...OVER 30 MPG Not 100% Sure but I do believe it was around 34MPG...so needless to say very good!!! I think my BMW needs 4 gallons to get out of the driveway, and my driveway is on a slope :-).

Yes it does, no matter what you all say!
The previous owner has masked the car’s original identity by:
- Replacing the wheelswith the 1993 models.
- Removing the rear spoiler.
- Removing the T-5 emblem.
- Repainting the black exterior with dark green.
Give it back !!!

Happy New Year to you, your family and the two 850s.
