I "lucked out" with my '69 164. Absolutely NO RUST! However... eight years later, I'm only now about to start really driving her. It's been a total motor rebuild, brakes, booster, K-cam, distrib upgrade, factory fog lights, paint job and complete interior redone (interior should be finished in a week or so), replaced everything made of rubber, and a hundred other little things. The headliner was perfect when I bought her in 2001, with 25,000 miles. She was sitting undriven in a garage for 25 years!
The one disappointment was that she runs better with the stock Strombies than the HIF6's I had on her. Go figure. Thanks to all you Volvo crazies that helped me over the last eight years. I'll post pics when I get her back from the interior guy. I put a Blaupunkt AM/FM/SW radio with an ipod attachment in her and I've spent my waiting time filling up that ipod with vintage tunes from the period. Soon I'll be a kid again. Isn't that what it's all about? ESCAPE...Volvo style! "Hold on, I'm coming!"
