Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.
Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

That's a nice one. Front seats were swapped in from a 96 or 97 R.matthew1 wrote: ↑13 Jun 2025, 22:47 https://carsandbids.com/auctions/K17A0k ... t-5r-wagon

Those look like '95 seats to me. '96-'97 had the alcantara in the center like a '98-2000 V70R.erikv11 wrote: ↑14 Jun 2025, 08:08That's a nice one. Front seats were swapped in from a 96 or 97 R.matthew1 wrote: ↑13 Jun 2025, 22:47 https://carsandbids.com/auctions/K17A0k ... t-5r-wagon

Negative, no diamond-stitched Alcantara in 96 or 97. I know in part because I swapped 96 seats into my 95. Still have the 95 seats too ...bmdubya1198 wrote: ↑14 Jun 2025, 08:59Those look like '95 seats to me.

Right, but those are 95 seats on the yellow T-5R. No diamond stitching on the 850R, but the alcantara is in the center rather than the outside like on the T-5R.erikv11 wrote: ↑15 Jun 2025, 20:49Negative, no diamond-stitched Alcantara in 96 or 97.

How about this very sad 145 wagon in some yard in Montana?
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/it ... _type=post
1970 145
$900
"Clean title
This vehicle has no significant damage or problems." uh huh...
"YES, I HAVE THE TITLE FOR IT
NO, YOU CANT DRIVE IT ACROSS COUNTRY, AT LEAST NOT NOW.
I started the engine a couple of years ago, I'm sure it will start again with a little starting fluid and a jumper box. You just can't find these anymore so it's worth way more than the asking price in parts. Restore or part out, up to you once you have it out of my yard. I have a forklift to load it on your trailer, or I can deliver anywhere in the lower 48 states for a fee. "

A bold new definition of "significant ".
These days it's worth about $250 by weight.
