1985 volvo 760 DL
cylinders: 8 cylinders
drive: rwd
fuel: gas
title status: missing
transmission: automatic
type: sedan
Selling a rather fun/unique car. Started off as a bone stock 1985 blue volvo 760dl, and then had a Mustang Cobra 5.0 and an AOD trans installed in its place. The diesels are perfect for this swap as everything on the car is heavy duty- suspension, steering, brakes, etc etc. Weight difference between the diesel and the v8 is almost negligible, so the car still sits right.
When I got the car it needed some wiring work and a new transmission. I sourced a used trans with 86k on it- at that time I also installed a brand new valve body with a stage 1 shift kit. Shifts through all the gears. I'm unsure of the mileage on the engine, but it runs like a top and doesn't leak any fluids.
It's currently registered/inspected/insured. I drive it to work and around town all the time.
Mods:
GT40 tubular intake manifold
2.5" exhaust
IPD swaybars
*car sounds like it has a cam, but I can't confirm nor deny that

Issues- It's a 31 year old car, so it's not perfect by any means. The headliner is sagging, the clock stopped working (all other gauges work), sunroof isn't working (doesn't leak), it's missing a couple plastic trim pieces in the interior, heater blower needs a new bearing and there's some rust in the trunk that probably will need attention at some point. None of that will matter when you floor it and instantly light up the tires.
Will entertain trades for something cool (sorry no bikes, I don't ride), but please no junk! Boats, jeeps, jet skis, snowmobiles- try me.
