Yup, swapped one to my '96 855R before I sold it.

Beautiful, Rob. And the cars ain't bad eithier ;-). But seriously, both S70's jewel headlights, grilles and chin spoilers make those cars look super sharp, really pretty.

Thanks for sharing!

Hello everyone. My name is Brian a long time Volvo enthusiast for about 10 years now. It all started with a 1989 740GL, then a 2000 S-70SE, next was a 2007 XC-70 and now a 94 850Turbo sedan. I've had other cars in between those as well. I live in the Pittsburgh area.

1994 850Turbo at home in Curtisville, PA. Just took delivery of it 12 days ago. Corrected a few things already. But far from done. No name as of yet. This one will be replacing Emmylou (2007 XC70)

Welcome, Xray. Congrats on the new 850!

In your caption you wrote she's replacing a 2007 XC70. Is that correct?

I have a twin for that wagon if you need a parts car. I am only 5 hours from Pittsburgh.
I am not an expert mechanic, but I will attempt any repair. Worst case scenario is I screw it up worse than it was.

87 745 Turbo Intercooler...333k, all original!
96 850 Turbo wagon "totalled - parting out"
94 850 Turbo wagon waiting for tranny
2 94 855's gone
They're all gone now....

Thanks for the welcome Matthew1. Yes the 850Turbo is replacing my 2007 XC-70. Hi jacobharding. Glad to know I have a Volvo enthusiast near me. I'll let you know if I need parts.
