Hello Volvo fans,
As my username suggests, I am currently driving a BMW
, but I am a huge fan of all things automotive since helping my father do a frame up restoration of a 1928 Model A in the mid-1970s. My first car was a 1970 Mustang coupe that I built into a moderately fast street car with every penny I earned mowing lawns etc. In the early '80s, I purchased a pair of
Volvo rectangular headlight assemblies (31cm x 17cm) from Halford and Valentine Volvo here in Calgary, intending to do a custom installation of them on the Mustang; they would have fit perfectly in the height of the grill. I never got around to the installation, so the headlights have been stored ever since (30+ years!). While web surfing to see if there is any demand for the lights, I discovered that the original part numbers are no longer available, and 240/260 owners are resorting to rebuilding original headlights or installing plastic-lensed aftermarket units. I would like to see my pair of headlights used as they were intended, so I will be selling them immediately. Here is some additional detail on the lights:
Part numbers: 1235050 & 1235051
Lens description: 31cm W x 17cm H, Glass, "Cibie" cast into lower center of lens, "VOLVO" cast into lower RHS of each lens
Body of lights: metal finished in a bergundy color, stamped with "Made in France" in white, complete with black plastic mounting brackets, and top adjustment screw
Bulbs: high- and low-beam H1 bulbs installed in both headlights
I would appreciate some feedback from you guys as to a fair selling price for the pair of headlights. I want to sell them as a pair, and prefer to sell them locally (Calgary and area) to avoid potential shipping damage. One of the lights is still in its original Volvo box, but the other box is long gone. I can post a few pictures of the pair this evening.
Cheers,
BMW Guy
