Here we have a unique and very rare find for the Volvo enthusiast. Never imported when new these wagons are extremely scarce here in the US. This particular example was owned and maintained for years by one of the first Saab, Volvo, and Triumph dealers in the States. Driven less than 61000 miles it remains in excellent mechanical condition. Ziebarted and grease undercoated since first imported the body, chassis, full frame and floors all remain rust free. The car has always been maintained by a master Volvo and Saab technician until a few years ago. Under his stewardship the engine and transmission were replaced with a B20 unit built to full Volvo Rally spec stage two level consisting of big valve head, ported and polished ports, larger SU's, mild cam, and tubular headers and heavy duty clutch and pressure plate. Performs very well, handles well, although you have to remember it is a bit tall!  All instruments, lights, electrical work as new. Dash pad while not cracked is a bit wavy but certainly presentable.  Rare Volvo wood steering wheel and under dash tachometer.
I did however have the entire car professionally painted to show standards. Mechanically all systems were checked and repaired if needed such as brakes, exhaust, tuneup, etc.  What remains to be done to complete the restoration consists of a few pieces of weatherstrip, minor upholstery repair, and if you desired a show piece I would refinish the beautiful wood on the interior floor although it still looks very nice. The tires while in excellent shape are a bit dated. Overall this is a very nice example of a very rare Swedish classic with little left to do to make it a show stopping classic.
