I also just recently installed a brand new 16" Permacool e-fan (high performance version, Part #19115) with the correct accessory switch and relay kit (Part #19005). Could I have gone with a used 850 fan and butchered it in there with Nissan relays? Sure. But everything done to this car was first class and there was no reason to stop at the cooling system, not to mention I live in Houston and love an A/C system so this isn't the place to screw with cooling needs heading into summer. Also installed brand new amp (you can see from the pictures there is a gap in the custom custom trunk floor as the older amp was bigger). The older amp just needs to be regrounded inside but I got a good deal on a brand new one so I jumped on it. The car will come with older amp if you'd like to reground and install for a flush trunk floor. Or just make a new one!
The pictures are very indicative of what you will be getting and the car is back and tucked away after a good detail. There is a picture of any noticeable ding or damage already taken. The paint job is 2 years old but has sat in a garage, under car cover and driven sparingly. Car cover will also come with vehicle. Never had been a daily driver (way too nice in my opinion) but easily could mechanically/electrically. Has never made the round at your typical Volvo shows...always bad timing. Be the guy to unveil her...
LOW reserve but email me (jaxwithanx at gmail dot com) for questions and I will do my best to answer thoroughly. I'm selling because of different life priorities. I'd rather start building for a down payment on a house than have a daily driver and 2 toys sitting around. I could possibly consider an offer but am more interested in letting the bid process go through. It's obviously not the type of car that comes around often. And for a Volvo-guy....doesn't get much better sorted....

And for those that found and watched the video in the Picasa album....the audio sucks because it's a cell phone microphone and it's clipping heavily. Trust me the stereo sounds better than most new car systems...great clarity with a little bass.
On Jun-02-14 at 10:45:40 PDT, seller added the following information: Will continue to update this listing as I get more and more questions:
-
the audio and complete electrical system is setup to run the car just fine (Optima Red Top battery and gauged wiring throughout audio). No voltage issues with A/C on blast, radio blaring and rolling down the windows simultaneously....none of this was half-assed (as the build photos should indicate)
-
you are welcome to send offers but please do not ask me my "rock bottom price"...there is a reason I am going through the bidding process. Clean/rust-free 240 examples are going upwards of $5k sometimes and that is without the big brake kit, engine swap, professional paint and audio equipment (just to name big ticket stuff). Now this car is obviously a restomod, so valued differently than your typical stocker, but that's why I am going through the auction with no reserve. Let the market dictate!
