I just found a 73 pretty cheap. It's marginal but solid. Do these cars
have any collectible
value? I really like the looks. I'm getting it for a "beater/rain car" to
fix up and use. I've done a few engine swap projects in the past, but
don't want to "lump" a collector car.
I looked around the net. Didn't find much fervor collector wise. I see
*40/*50 turbo
motors all over for cheap to stay Volvo. I have access to a Honda S2000
motor/trans that looks like it might fit (237hp). Would using this car as
a hotrod
platform be a total travesty? Opinions Please. The car has 110,000 miles,
a bit of rust
but easily fixable, original paint so nothing is hidden. Interior OK
except the front seats.
Automatic :>P. It's basically just an old car now, thanks Adythemic
Yes, these are highly desirable collectible cars among Volvo aficionados.
The prices are not up there with some of the other European cars but a
nicely restored example will fetch a fair amount. If you do a really top
notch hot rodding job it could be a cool car, I'm into the stock look myself
though.
