I had to black out the wagon grill as soon as I had the chance. I've got the replacement hood hinges ready to go in this weekend. I replaced the corner light after these photos were taken.

I have yet to rub out the wagon. I will also give that some attention.

This is their first time in proximity.

Major things have included: engine tune up (coil, plugs, t-belt, upper engine mount, thermostat and IAT sensor), various cosmetic including seat cushions, third row seat, Colorado Rebuilt Driveshaft and new VC bushing, etc). 154K on the clock. I enjoyed meeting some of you guys at the Carlisle Show this month!

Ben, looks good. Try shooting at sundown, +- 30 minutes. Best light of the day then. Midday can be harsh, with hard shadows.

Well, it's not actually my car, but it was my dad's for over a decade, he's not a car enthusiast that would keep a project around & wanted something newer & less worn that's better on fuel, but he was very well aware of the rarity of the car & didn't want it crushed, so in summer 2011 he advertised it long enough to find an enthusiast that got a good deal.
It's a '95 480 edition, which was a special series of the last 480 units built, this is #22 with a a plaque on the dash, for early termination of production due to low demand Volvo depleted parts stock & edition models were only available fully equipped with power everything, leather, A/C, CC, digital display etc

The pics were taken by the happy new owner, member of a 480 club, at it's long term new home, it's the green one.

Hello all,

Just registered with the forum, though I've been a long time lurker. Here is the car I just bought. It's a 2009 S60 2.5T. Really liking it so far. This is actually the fifth Volvo I've purchased. Previously, I owned a 2002 V70, a 1996 850, a 1992 960, and a 1995 850 Turbo (still miss that car actually... It was a lot of fun) which I've also attached a picture of.
