Hey guys, I put this up in the good buy or goodbye forum but no one has seen it and it's pretty urgent. Below is basically the original forum post and the ad link:
I'm moving a few states over for a new work opportunity and unfortunately can't bring along my R. I won't have space for it and I would love to not have to scrap it or sell it to a dealer for nothing.. I was hoping someone could take a look at my ad I've got on Craigslist and tell me if its worth it? I've been trying for about 2 months and now time is running out and I need it gone in the next two weeks! I appreciate any insight or help you might have.

I just sent you an Email through craigslist! I have a load of other project Volvos right now but if it gets down to the wire and nobody wants the car, I should be able buy it off of you. I have space to store it at least until I can get around to it so it can go to a good home

Really good price for an Oregon project performance R, lots of maintenance and restoration already done sensibly.

Heads up for anyone from Oregon- I might have been a bit too quick in saying I could take it, unfortunately. A talk with the fiance has gotten me in trouble for 'so many damn Volvos'... it remains to be seen whether or not I will be able to pick it up before ACarmona leaves on the 27th.

Thanks for the heads up Kara503, I've shown it to two people so far from the Eugene/Springfield area, and one person who remains to see it from Phoenix! I should know by tomorrow what the word is from at least two of them. Also, I've always appreciated the insight and help I've gotten from the people here at MVS
