Volvo guy in North Dallas - TEXAS

Post by greenman86 »

Been a Volvo enthusiast for about 2 years now. I'm in the North Dallas area in Texas. I've owned 3 S40s, first one had a 5 cylinder swapped into it(regret selling it now but I bough it cheap), 1 98 V70 GLT(Fixed it up and sold it right away). 4 850s(2 sedans & 2 wagons - 97 GLT sedan (regret selling this one)& 95 n/a sedan, 94 850 Turbo wagon(my baby), 95 GLT wagon(fixed it up and sold it as well). Recently picked up a nice 93 940 wagon n/a(currently restoring it), Also have a 98 C70 convertible(Project car for me and my dad).

All my vehicles are usually white or green. Don't ask me why its just the way its always been. Like they say, you just can't own one Volvo. I will from time to time have parts for sale. Reason being, it helps fund my projects and saves me money but I also help people out at the same time. We have a surplus of Volvo's in our Dallas junkyards, especially 850's. To date, I've seen one 96 850R(good interior,more then likely a head gasket failure wasn't wrecked) and one 98 V70R AWD(Bastards took engine & tranny, LOL).

Peace.

I'm in the vicinity but I've not figured out the scrap yards. DO any of them have P2s ?

You mean 2001-2007 v70s? I know a few places that have few. U pull it 4009 E Jefferson St Grand Prairie, TX 75051 There are 2 here. This place charges S1 for entry fee, you pull parts and take em up front for pricing. Next place, Awesome auto salvage 3913 E Jefferson St Grand Prairie, TX 75051 I think there are 2 here as well. I've seen one for sure at this location. These are in same main road. Same deal here, pay a $1, pull your part and take up front for pricing. At this particular location that have cars stacked on each other and if the vehicle you are looking for is stacked at the top you will need to ask the guy up front to have someone bring it down for you so you can pull your parts. Don't climb on cars, I've hurt myself doing that. You may stop at other locations in the same area and ask around.
