Can't load a picture at the moment, looks intact and complete but a bit rough around the edges, and beware the dreaded all-aught ODO.

Added stuff to title. Not bad looking $500 , reserve not met

Doesn't look too bad. Not sure what is going on on the lower front fender and the RH front door behind the mirror.

The driver's door has been replaced but otherwise the interior looks not bad and the seats look pretty good. At $500 it might be a decent chance to take. Worth it in parts.

So tempting. But it doesn't have all the ancillary parts necessary to swap the M56 into my 2000 V70. And "bad clutch, no parking brake, oil leak" are much worse than I got for my $500 car.

Though I don't have a place to park any more cars, I did find rented outdoor parking spots near me...

Does the "GLT" signify light pressure turbo? The intake manifold looks like NA.

GLT is a trim designation, hence the leather interior, sunroof, roof rack, ECC, spiffy radio &c. It's N/A.
If it hammers for under $800, the fees are $222-ish. This is obviously of greater interest to folks nearby, as mentioned before. Manual wagons weren't all that popular in the US market, and every one that gets crushed thins the herd.

96 GLT is I believe a 20V NA
97 GLT was a LPT.

I need to find some way to take advantage of opportunities like this. If it only "starts" instead of "drives", then I can't reasonably move it around. Still mad I didn't get that C70 manual in DC to strip for parts.

Washboard roads, tons of salt, hard life NH. The under carriage is likely to be one molten mass of rusty metal. Doesn't "look" horrible though, I guess. I wouldn't be up at night if I missed out on this one. Always sad about the 5 sp wagons for sure.

I bought a car dolly for $600. It’s paid for itself saving rentals for parts cars, and let’s you recover non-runners

How do you load a non-running car on a dolly? The only solution I see is a winch and that must be mounted somewhere. That's the problem I need solved.
