Fo' Free: 1979 Volvo Wagon - Jake - 08-02-2009

My friend called me just now wondering if any of you MMers would want a project car. Her beloved Volvo is no more. It's a 1979 245DL wagon, automatic, with about 200k miles.

She said a belt snapped while she was driving, which led to another belt or two snapping, and supposedly the engine overheated and warped the head or something. She is not mechanically inclined and wants it gone - her mom is getting a new car and passing along the old one.

It'll have to be towed - located in Arlington VA. It's a sweet car and in decent shape aside from the motor. She and I both really don't want to see it scrapped, so I was thinking it could be a neat project car. Of course... I don't have the space to keep it around.

If anyone is interested, PM me and I will put you in touch with her.

It looks mostly like this, only more faded and less running:

NEEDS V8!!!

I actually wish I had the room for this. Ford V8 goes in without much drama, makes an awesome sleeper.

Also, it's too old.

Re: Fo' Free: 1979 Volvo Wagon - ViPER1313 - 08-03-2009

Also, you need to have owned the car for a year.

Re: Fo' Free: 1979 Volvo Wagon - Evan - 08-03-2009

Im talking about her, not whoever takes the car.

I didnt know they could be too old, I thought that was the whole point.

Yeah, dumbest shit in the world. Car can't be older than 25 years.

MM Project Volvstang!

Re: Fo' Free: 1979 Volvo Wagon - Ole - 08-03-2009

Govo?

Re: Fo' Free: 1979 Volvo Wagon - Jake - 08-03-2009

I think this could be a sweet project car for MM. My issues though - we don't know what's wrong with the motor, so it may require up to a full swap. Also, it's an automatic - so a 5-speed swap would probably be thrown in there as well.

Ole, where is your storage space? I don't know how far or how often we could travel to work on it.

MM Demolition Derby car...

There is barely enough money for it already and you want them to make the cars they accept an even greater amount? lol

Jesus, you obviously didn't learn anything from the last attempt(s) :wink:

Re: Fo' Free: 1979 Volvo Wagon - Jake - 08-03-2009

Anyone in for the 24 Hours of LeMMons?? I'm dreamin' big here but we could get it running (big dream #1) and get some sponsors (big dream #2) and compete in a semi-local event in South Carolina (pipe dream?).

Opine.
