I am the owner of a beautiful 1987 original paint without rust!! Volvo 760 GLE with a B280F. The engine has NEVER had the valves adjusted, and they are super super quiet (we've owned this car since new, it was probably adjusted once while still under warranty).

It's at 277K kms right now, engine does not use oil (leaks it a bit), the AW tranny still shifts nicely, and this car is actually getting better than expected fuel economy (uses 10.5L/100km highway, 12.5L/100km average combined). That isn't too bad, all things considered.

If it wasn't for the interior which is cracking and peeling everywhere, you'd think this car was "mint".

The ride is still excellent (over the years, the car has been maintained, but has required VERY little maintenance... incredible indeed).

I've also been using VLVworld as a parts source and have been pretty happy so far. I bought some parts at my local NAPA that ended up being QUITE a bit more expensive.

When this baby dies, I plan on getting a late 960 or S90.. yes, I would like a car that sips fuel, but the ride, the comfortable seats, (ok, air would be nice, mine stopped working yearrrrrrrrrrrrs ago), RWD... I love it!!!

I just love my 760 and wanted to express how happy I am with it.
