1987 Volvo 245 Wrecked Recycleable Parts Available in AZ

Post by dwhite66 »

A sad story. I let a friend use my modified vintage '87 245 DL with over 425k miles when he needed temporary transportation and he failed to yield to an oncoming new Toy Tundra pickup that ran the light during rush hour. The results of that decision? No serious injuries to anyone, minor damage to the Toyo Tundra (still drivable) and total loss to my 87 Volvo 245. But check this, front driver's side impact demolished the power steering pump and headlamp and wiring, but only minor damage to the battery, little or no damage to the cooling and a/c systems, and all of the doors will open and close without binding. The wheel cover was still on the driver's side wheel. Therefore before I have it hauled off, I have some useable parts that I have already removed that I will let go of, if anyone's interested. An IPD sport exhaust system with new hi-flow cat converter and down pipe, IPD all metal hi-perf radiator, relatively new IPD R134a A/C compressor, new taillights, door handles, shocks and new struts, etc. I took very good care of this vehicle from bumper to bumper for more than 10 years. So I am giving it a proper memorial by making these parts available.
