New here........but more outdated than a Walk Thru The PRV Valley of Death! LoL. This venture maybe one of futility......

Hello,
My name is Mike and I have a Volvo problem

Seriously though, I inherited my Uncles beloved 85 740 Turbo this summer (2023) and put a lot of time and money into getting it going again after sitting 20 years.

It’s an amazingly simple car and easy to work on. It’s been fun and now the boy drives it to school.

Really fun to drive and man it cruises on the highway. And solid! No shakes or rattles, and it’s 39yo.

Did I ever think I’d be a classic Volvo owner, no. But hey, it’s great.

I started a build thread and will post the list of things done. Pictures too when I’m on desk top.

Cheers
Mike

Hello all, my name is Barbara and I am a newish Volvo enthusiast. My dad had some when he was younger but sold then. We used to be an all-Ford family, but when I saw a 1978 242 GT for sale it became my first car back in 2022. I fixed that one up and am currently working on a 1980 244 that sat for some time unfortunately. I hope I can learn a lot from y'all and share any info I might have!
