Nice find, Looked like my 1984 I had but was wrecked when I bought it. Is your 740 a Auto or manual.

She's a auto. Previous owner said was just fully rebuilt.

Welcome to the forum, Alex. I love finds like that, previous owner put work into it then let her sit for a while. Please keep us updated on how the project progresses!

Those mud flaps are money.

I want to see that thing smoking up the streets of STL. Also maybe I should get mine going.

After we get our circle jerk of injectors figured out we should be rollin' some coal pretty hard...

How crazy, on a xm hunt I just noticed a set of those (rear) on a junkyard sedan! One of their sedans (`90 or `89) has it. I didn`t get them (doorpanel removal took my time& patience :) + I wasn`t sure they`re the same on wagons. Are they?)

Everything below the waist is the same on a wagon.

Great, thanks, I thought so too.
Then I shouldn`t `waist` my time and get them. :)
A full day of treasure hunt at the jy will produce a few buckets of Volvo stuff. I have a looong list what to grab.
Unfortunately I will not have too much time for a while to install anything but i`ll try to find some quality Volvo-time on weekends.
