  1. I am trying to empty my late brother's storage unit in Virginia. He had a daily-driver 142E with overdrive for many years, and at one point he pulled the engine and rebuilt it with, among other IPD items, .030" pistons and what-all. A few years later he took on a big boat project and no longer had time for his Volvo fetish. The body was pretty bad so he pulled out the engine, trans, wiring harness, fuel pump, ECM, seats and put them in storage. The car then went to the crusher. So here it is 11 years later and I need to empty the building. I was a Volvo guy too in the 1980s (1966 122S, 1970 144S) and I hate to sell it for the value of the metal. I woulda loved to put this in a 544 or a 122 once upon a time. Somewhere there's somebody who would love to have this to rebuild (even if you abandoned the injection). Question is, what's the best way to find someone to buy it all cheap? I posted it in the For Sale forum here and at Swedespeed, but no action yet. I live in Florida and drive to Virginia occasionally and could deliver it to anyplace close to I-95. I appreciate any ideas.
  2. 1971 142E B20 engine with all sensors, ECM, fuel pump, and engine wiring harness, plus manual trans and overdrive, removed from my brother's car about 10-12 years ago, before the rusted-out body went to the crusher. He rebuilt the B20 in the late 90s with .030" over IPD pistons. Also included, an extra transmission/overdrive assembly, AND another transmission without overdrive (these last two have remote shifter extension assemblies that suggest they may have come from a P1800, or a 140-series with aftermarket remote-shift and console ). Also included, the two front bucket seats, the back seat cushions, and a box of small miscellaneous parts (center wheel hub covers, windshield washer reservoir & pump, and whatever else he pulled out before the car left on a truck).
