I know, I know, near sacrelidge.
It has been my daily driver for about three years now and I do about 500-600 miles a week. It's still running very strong, but the enviorment for buying a new car is just getting too good.
My Volvo has a VPD stage II motor dyno'd at 143 hp, (according to JP, I don't have the print out), The motor was done about 2 years ago.
I put in 164 brakes, not just the vented rotors, but a new MC, rebuilt booster, braided SS lines upfront, new discs and calipers, (fronts just got new remanned a few months ago).
The suspension has poly bushings, ipd sway bars, sport springs, KYB's,
The car stops well, handles well, and goes well. But I'd like to get better mileage, less maintenance and am worried about future issues, ( I can't not have my car like when it was laid up to replace the frozen front caliper a few months ago, wiper motor went last Fall, heater core blew also last winter, all have been fixed).
The brakes and suspension have about 90,000 miles near as I can figure, with a new ball joint, calipers and stuff here and there. The motor has about 55,000- 65,000 or so. Oh yeah, I've replaced the instrument cluster a few times.
I've had the rust in the sills and the rear shock mounts replaced so those are solid. There are a few small bubbles around the front light area and a couple others, but very small and little.
I for the life of me ahve never been able to post photos here, but I do have some on the vintage racing league site "www.myvrl.com" under my name, (Chris Ungaro on the member tag.
SOOOooo, my question is what does the boards collective wisdom think it's worth???
