Wow, I dig that. What'd the turbo+ package include for them? Could Google, but I'm feeling lazy.

Yeah, that actually turns my crank a little.

Edit - the Turbo+ in the 780 advertized 180 hp, not sure what effect it had on other models (i.e., if there were different levels of "plus" in "Turbo+".

One of, if not my favorite 2/7, Volvo color.

I think the Turbo+ was the same for all models? Wasn't it set to overboost for around 30 seconds only at a certain RPM?

ETA: probably among the last cars sold at Short Stop Auto in Lethbridge.

Yeah I dig that car a lot. Nice color nice wheels. Turbo+ but of course auto. And yeah from what I've read the turbo+ was sort of a boost controller that upped boost at high rpm for a short time and will cut boost if knocking occurs. Very similar to saabs APC http://s174.photobucket.com/user/gpl1968/media/car/Turbo%20plus/VolvoTurbo_Page_3_Image_0001.jpg.html

Yeah that color is wicked. The blue interior is too much blue, but at the same time, I love it. And yeah, I thought it was similar to APC systems. Cool car for sure, hope it finds a good home.

That car has been around these parts for quite a while. The guy that restored it was a member for a short time. I sold him some seats and some body panels at one point. Not the greatest restoration. A good 10-footer...
