Keep the 850 for yourself and get your son an early '90s 740 or 940. He won't be able to hurt it and he'll be well protected as well. R134 AC, SIPS, Airbag and EASY to work on when needed. I had the trans out of my '88 745t for a clutch job & rear seal in under 2 hours. Try that with an 850.

They're a great, solid, simple design that you'll be able to get parts out of a salvage yard for.

I was 16 once and I had a '70 Datsun 510 sedan. The 740/940 is a 510 with a real steel body. Forget the newer Volvo.

Can't go wrong with a red engined brick.

Cheers,
