Re: What year is my car? 200 1983

Look on the white decal under the hood, left inner fender. It should state the year.

The '83 model cars were certainly built in '82, and into '83.

The '83 models (for the US market only) switched from the heavy aluminum "10-mph" bumpers found on the '82s to the black plastic "5-mph, thank you Ronnie Reagan" bumpers.

"...Is it 3/16 (?)"

Ummm, no. 13/16", perhaps.

"...And are Fram oil filters good?"

Absolutely, positively NOT. They are the orange kiss of death. They suck. They are total garbage. (Later I'll tell you how I really feel.)

You can buy a tray of (10) Mann filters for under $40, and they are the same as original Volvo (Mann makes Volvo filters).
