Got me one of them spiffy Volvo cars today. Just what I need. '69 145. Fairly beat, but could be worse for $50.

I'll go get it tomorrow and get a full inspection, but from what I see off the bat, its got a spiffy aftermarket 3spoke steering wheel, ipd 3rd motor mount, down draft weber... but what really caught my eye is the ipd lifters, and what looks like double valve springs... I'll know more for sure tomorrow. There is also an old (no longer hooked up) Heathkit...! electronic ignition module...

It also apparently has a new clutch, and a new rear end... both of which could indicate spirited driving. Maybe the PO was serious and put in a ltd slip...woudln't that be nice.

In either case, I may well have a monster on my hands.
