Is anybody out there interested in this car? It threw a rod at 120K miles, very unexpected for a volvo. At any rate, the rest of the car is in excellent condition, just needs a new engine :).

Lemme guess: spun a bearing and threw Rod #3?

Ya might want to post this up at all the Volvo boards. I know there are a few people looking for shells over on VS. The rest of the car does indeed look to be in excellent condition. Why not throw a Junkyard engine in for $600?

That really stinks. Just out of curiosity, what did you use for oil in it?
