Ooo! Looks a lot like our ‘84, same color, but slicker and more pedals.

That’s a real nice straight , dealer maintained R with 73k selling for 16k with enthusiasts inthe house.

Has the bubble popped,or at least deflated a bit?

It’s funny - I bought a nearly pristine, bright red, hot rod Volvo wagon in Denver almost 20 years ago.

Right tasty looking, even though I'm not a big fan of wheel bling - and spacers.

Miles are a question mark; a comment in the listing says the speedometer was replaced in Antiquity (Jan. '93) and the MD title is branded TMU. 256k shown. The car is in southern DE, just over the line in MD. I'm not in the market, but might go have a look.

165 pics.
Just saw this car, went for a ride. Interesting ownership path - known since new - and met two of them. Ride isn't as stiff as I thought it would be with the lowering springs. The only reason for TMU is the fact the ODO was replaced under warranty when new. Maryland is kinda funny about those things.
The current owner also has a pair of 740s, as well as a '56 MGA, freshly painted. Had a nice visit.

Made $14,500. Well-bought, in my opinion. Cleanest Brick I've ever seen. The new head- and tail lights alone are added value; from what I hear, both are right spendy these days.

Doesn't seem hateful, repainted, usual interior plastic explosions.
