I need another vintage Volvo like a hole in my head but I have been talking to the owner of this car for three years and when the time is right...I had to step up.
The 96 dark blue color is growing on me as it is rather unusual. This is a Canadian Volvo so it shipped new with limited slip rear and 4 way flashers. It did not however come with the Hella lights but I will add them anyway. Because they looks so damn cool. Besides, they were an available accessory when the car was new. Also, I will add the fender mirrors.
Everything works on the car including the overdrive. It has a non stock B-20 engine that seems to have a lot of power. The rims are widened stockers and the suspension seem slightly lower and firmer than stock. I also spotted a rear sway bar on the car.
It is an older restoration and the the car has some issues that I will address before I bring it out but all in all a very straight car.
Thought I would share with my fellow Volvonists.
