Neat toy, and, the seats in your turbo are nice too.
Thank you. Volvos are my true addiction for sure. Yellow Sedan is a very low mile example and wagon is one of the very few factory manuals that was originally sold in Europe. Blue one is one of the last V70Rs that came out of the production and the very last one to be delivered via Euro delivery. We sold the Blue V70R on BAT couple of years ago. I would love to get into RWD Volvos as well but you can't have them all. I bet your 740 was fun!

Those are many Volvo's! Some very neat ones too.

Yes, the 740 was pretty cool - it belonged to my girlfriend at the time, and I was starting to get the tuning itch at that point and she very kindly (although with much trepidation) allowed me to start messing with it. It was amazingly rock solid, and could cruise at 100-120mph all day long without issue.

400WHP in a 245 without and engine swap was a hoot

Oh man, that reminds me of a '76 264GL I inherited from my old man back in the early 1980s. It was a total POS, gutless and leaky but, for some reason, I loved that beater.

I get 7K out of a set of PS4S rears on my Turbo.... 8K would be an improvement! About double that on the fronts.

I just picked up the TTS from detailing and a new ceramic coating. The last ceramic coat lasted over 5 years, which is pretty good. That said, it was definitely time for it to be redone.
