The front and rear ride height looks like an AWD. At that age they usually have a sagging rear end.bmdubya1198 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 01, 2019 11:54 amAt $3,500, it would probably be a great buy if it's up to date on maintenance. It looks like a really nice car.

Re: Volvo Findings! (What have you found on Craigslist?)
It is sitting kinda high... maybe it has new quick struts, those tend to raise the front end a lot. Those things are awful... gave my cousin's V70 a gasser stance!
But the car looks level at least.

Hey, I actually found a Volvo gasser! Like this, but a little less dramatic.

That's really messy when it come to racing as you can't compare Apples to Apples.bmdubya1198 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 02, 2019 5:25 pmHey, I actually found a Volvo gasser! Like this, but a little less dramatic.

The official class name was “Gas Coupe & Sedan” class, which was soon rounded off to just a Gasser class. A Gasser is (or was) basically a stock production type vehicle with a hopped-up engine. A stock car with a non-stock engine as it were. And the engine did not need to be the same brand as the car. For instance, an old Ford coupe with a later model Oldsmobile engine would fit right into a Gasser class.

Re: Volvo Findings! (What have you found on Craigslist?)
That is like the term Hot Rod. Hot Rod was original a poor boy's game. He could not afford a car so he would cobble one together from whatever parts he could get cheap or for free. The frame might be a Ford, the Cab might be a Plymouth, the nose clip might be a Cadillac, the engine might be REO. He would weld everything together to build a car.MoVolvos wrote: ↑Sat Nov 02, 2019 7:43 pm The official class name was “Gas Coupe & Sedan” class, which was soon rounded off to just a Gasser class.

The term Hot Rod referred to the Hot Welding Rods use to bring it all together.

Re: Volvo Findings! (What have you found on Craigslist?)
Looks decent, but $3k for a "mechanic special" with a dying AW55 is pretty steep. It looks like it's been well maintained from that Carfax, though.MoVolvos wrote: ↑Tue Nov 05, 2019 9:51 pm Not Quite CL.

6 owners and a bump on the driver's side front bumper and a bump to the entire rear bumper.
