WTB 700 series TD in Midwest
 

I'm looking for a Volvo again, hopefully around the midwest. I'm willing to drive a ways but I don't have time to truck to Oregon and shipping with the price of fuel is out of the question. Has to be a 700 series turbodiesel. Would love a manual but would consider an auto
These things aren't really growing on trees so it's hard to be picky. If someone is sitting on something or has a link to an add its appreciated!

Jason, I have the perfect 84, 760 135K miles automatic for you. extra block, head, fuel pump from 85 740. My baby took a beat down in a tornado and I am not going to be around long enough to fix it. Needs a windshield to be driven, I have the rest of the replacement glass. Send me an email and I'll send you pic's. Shipping from Chippewa Falls WI 54729 and let me know.

Thank you.

Sent an email through the forum but in case that didn't work, my email is junklovescompany@gmail.com

Hey Jason - I guess the WI cars are waiting for you.

I've got a 1984 764 in black with tan interior and a manual transmission. I've owned the car since 1998. I call it POGO (due to the blown nivomats when I acquired it). Some rust on the hood, trunk, and various places. Paint is tired. Lots of mods.

-M47 transmission
-custom stainless exhaust with side exit, passenger side just ahead of the rear wheel
-Full set of seats from the 780 Bertone coupe. Really nice seats (power in front). Hole on driver's side outer lumbar
-Converted to Bilstein HD rear shocks
-Large air-water intercooler located where the air box would be. Bit of a hack job getting the front mount heat exchanger in. Never got past the prototype phase of install, but it's fully plumbed and operating.
-Currently sitting on 17" Titan rims from an 850R with 1" adapters to correct the offset. Older tires in the rear, nearly unused but a few years old tires on the front
-D24 intake manifold
Car has the cowl snow shield, and a totally 80s aftermarket rear window louvers for that baller look. Has a tow hitch.
I've got a set of later 760 tails I meant to install, I've got a black dashboard and center console that I was going to put it to replace the cracked tan dash. I've got three spare D24T engines in various states of disassembly that I was going to rebuild. I'm sure I can find the M46 transmission that came out. I've got a spare hood, fenders in white. Lots of various trim bits including early 760 mirrors and dash vents.

The car gets started and moved occasionally but hasn't seen road duty in a few years. I love the car, but my diesel hankerings are answered with my BMW 335d and my angular 80s turbo dreams are focused on my Maserati Biturbo. I figured I'd eventually post the car for sale on this for, but I've been reluctant to do so.


Let me know if you're interested, I can send pics. Car is in Milton, WI.

I think I'm going after Gene's car, but we'll see how it goes. Would love a manual, however his car is rust free/low miles which is a big selling point here in the rust belt. I'll certainly keep it in mind though, not many choices around here! You can email me some pics if you'd like.. junklovescompany@gmail.com
