Default Brand New '89 Polar 740 running online

Hi guys, as my name can suggest it, I'm an other french guy pursuing the volvo lifestyle.

Long story short; grew up in a car enthusiast family, I owned several pre-95 audi, mercedes and bmw while younger. 6 in-line was the rule.
At the age of 20, my friends and I bought a 740. It displayed a steady 560000Km (347970 miles), but with a good oil feeding it was still running as a Swiss watch.
We took the paint off, rusted the whole thing and drove around Europe, twice.
40 000Km (24855miles) later, across Europe, I would realise that she would be the best car I ever owned. I might show some pictures about that rusty beauty.

10 years of a pretty boring metropolitan life passed, and we are today.

Back in town -country, I needed a new car. Needless to say the 740 was on top of my consideration.

I just found this 1989 Volvo 740 GLE fitted by the usual stuff coming out the GLE pack.
The guy who sold me the car was a real volvo enthusiast, he told me that car was a polar pack, thanks to the lot of alloy, as well as the wheel. Plus the blue carpet laid in the car. What do you guys thinking?

I will anyway open up a thread about that car. It came (I mean actually set up in the car) with a spare engine, an other D24T, from an other car.
But the guy gave me the original engine, with a total of 255000Km (158450miles). I will overhaul it and swap it back; an other thread will be open about that operation.
He also gave me the whole other 740 pieces' in spare parts, both mechanic and inside things.

Came here to share tips and knowledge, glad to enter the D24t community! Thanks guys for reading
