Manual 850

Recommended Posts

I'd consider selling my 95 850 turbo wagon but im in greenville, sc . I have had it a while but wanting something new and don't have the time to work on it anymore. silver , black interior. It has around 180k on the body, 140k on the engine, manual swapped, 850r clutch, billet 19t, n/a cams, baffled oil pan, ard blue tune, wideband, boost gauge, obx exhaust, delrin subframe bushings, 17" comet wheels, heated s70 seats. The car is great mechanically and pretty quick, recent pcv within 5k, new battery. The steering is loose feeling, i have not had the time to work on it but i believe it is the strut bearings that have play the left one is squeaking on bumps, recently replaced steering rack, control arm bushings, and right engine mount. The interior is very clean and nice but needs some tightening up, being 20+ years old and on ipd blue springs now it has acquired several rattles. the paint is in good condition but has its scratches/dings. This would be a great car to fix up cosmetically if you were planning on a modifying a volvo anyway, a lot of good parts and drivetrain is excellent. Dyno was at 278whp before n/a cams. I'll get some pics soon and link to my cl ad for it when i get it cleaned up to sell. I want to get $3000 for it as it sits before parting out and it would come with some extra parts.

PM me pics of the engine bay, interior, exterior and any areas in TLC.  Depending what I see, it might be considered.

Does it have to be a wagon?  I know of a highly modified manual 850 turbo sedan that will be coming up for sale in the very near future in the Detroit area.

If the price is right, no it does not.

I'll direct the owner to post here (leo850T5) and you can communicate with him directly (he's a member of VS too), and I think he'll be looking for around $3,000.  If you're around this weekend I believe there's a Detroit area Volvo meetup at IKEA and I think the car can probably be brought there too if you want to take a look. 

It's a 95 850 Turbo that's been M56 swapped, the engine has been freshened with a 50K-mile 850R motor from a 96, it has the full R interior, R front bumper and R spoiler, a custom tune, it's lowered, and a bunch of other goodies.  It needs a little bit of work (most notably an exhaust) but I've driven it and it's a really fast and fun car.

Honestly the future for a sedan would further support a continuation to a wagon to live.

I've re-read that a few times now and have no idea what that means.  Either way, no stake in the transaction for me, if you're interested shoot Leo850T5 a message.

Basically, a sedan would become a donor for the wagon.  Since the sedan seems to be too nice to be a donor, I would have to pass on it.
