    i'd put a u-joint in it, soak the tires with Bleche-Wite and scrub them with a brish, scuff the rims and paint them semi-gloss black, dress all the rubber with son-of-a-gun, wheel out the paint, remove the rack completely, and get a for sale sign on it. in one weekend you can quadruple your investment.

    QFT! Flip it; too nice to take apart.

    Flip it to BUY the parts for the 142?

    But if it doesn't flip....gut for 142, then turn it into a V8 trackstar?

    Ford 302 swap FTW!

    Those cars make great sleepers. Smoking the
    "fast & furious" wannabes with the big tailpipes in an old Volvo (or a minivan) is big fun!

    Progress

    Does need a trans but drives fine with the new rear u-joint. The factory radio even works!

    J.D.There's a wagon version up here in Ct., with a $450 price tag in the windshield....just helping you with your problem. (not mine).

    That IS a very sharp looking Volvo. Great color. Are you going to fix the A/C?

    I've been trying hard not to finally indulge in a RWD Volvo until next summer...

    My advice? Fix 'er up a bit, drive it thru the winter, drop me a line in spring or summer 2011 if it's for sale... I smell an arrive and drive home scenario at hand.

    Darn it, you're going to make this too nice for my limited Volvo budget to buy off you....

    Thanks for the input guys, but it turns out you were all way off. The correct answer seems to be "sell off the 244 and 142S to pay for the V8 Miata swap".

    So watch the classifieds starting next week as everything must go!

    I'd love to do a nice 244. I'll be watching for the ad :)
