Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

fake hood scoop, fake fender vents, etc.. yes awful.

But..... it's gone almost 300K. I wonder how many V/S 40/50s made it that far. I figure not that many. I'm guessing at that.

I never thought people cared much about the 40/50 line.

They usually end up junked before they get too high up there. But being the lower end Volvo of its time, they usually end up neglected. That's just how it goes. The powertrains are of course to the same standard as the rest of the lineup, so they'll achieve the same high mileage... they just don't get the chance.

Hey, I’m originally from Burlington county.

Price looks about right given the condition. That could be a good one to clean up if it’s mechanically solid.
