Needs New Engine (Seized: Bent Shaft/Rod or Frozen Cylinder)... $1000 obo
The Volvo 850 T-5R is a powerful wagon. 240hp and 0-60 in 6.0. Only around 2000 were sent to the USA in 1995. Not many left. Currently a Sedan version selling on ebay for 12k.
Drove it into a deep puddle and hydrlocked the engine. I am guessing a bent rod. Cam shafts rotate but crank shaft doesn't (removed timing belt to test)
Could be a fun project to get up and running. A super sleeper! I am hoping someone wants to take it on and bring it back. If I had a shop i'd do it myself. Replaced the head gasket on another one before in my driveway...
Comes with roof racks and a extra tailpipe and muffler.

I have put the car onto Ebay for $500 no reserve. It already has a bid so it will sell. I hope it goes to the right person.

It's nutty that water got that far up into the intake. Were you plowing through deep water? Or did a thick blast of water knock the timing belt off several teeth and bend valves? I don't get it.

Water was up to the bottom of the bumper. Plowing through water managed to spray directly into the down spouted air intake at the front of the grill. I honestly think it was the darn licence place that created a perfect launching angle for the water. I probably was doing this for 5-10 seconds and the car died. All the other cars doing it around me had no problems... bad luck
