Hey Volvo folks. Thanks to Athal for turning me on to this place. Where was everyone in 1996 when I had my Volvo?
My father passed away earlier this year and we are trying to find homes for some of the Volvo hoard - a lot of it got turfed a few years ago (the man has owned Volvos continuously since 1968!), but there is some stuff left in his garage that could have some life in it.
He had a 1984 242 Turbo that ruptured a fuel line on Highway 2 not long after he bought it (probably in 1994?) and we parted it out. Somewhere I have pictures of me and a friend cutting the body up with an acetylene torch and we later tossed it bit by bit in the town's metal recycling bin
The fire didn't do much damage, but it ignited the foam hood liner, which fell on the engine and burnt all the rubber bits. So that's the wiring, fuel lines, etc. So we have the engine with turbo, Jetronic ECU, manual transmission (4 spd + O/D), rear end and power steering rack. There's also a whole assortment of interior parts - two sets of dash gauges, the 84 instrument cluster, a clock and outside temp gauge from a 1990 245 we had, and various random tins of nuts and bolts and screws and such from the 1984.
Pictures of some of the parts are here:

He also had quite a stash of factory Volvo manuals - here's what we have:

My mom is open to offers on this stuff, as she'd like it out of her garage, but would also like to get some $$$ for it. The engine and that is located in Cochrane, so if anyone wants to take a look, we'd have to set that up.
Cheers,
Keith Adams
