My heart is beating for the old Volvo 164E especially 1972 I owned a few of them amd still missing them all. Here in Sweden it´s not so easy to find a good 164 anymore how is it in the States?
240 is still a good car but if you search for something newer buy a
940 Turbo it will not let you doun in the first corner. I left to be a Volvo owner fore some years ago and tryed VW,BMW,and european FORD but compares to Volvo it was totaly crap. Now im driving Chevy Tahoe and found back to the realability that volvo had. (just to turn the key and drive away all the time)
