"you are right it is a auto i meant to say it is not a stick car"

i see pricing on these cars all over the place it only has 109k miles on it and the body and interior is really nice. what value do you guys think am i out of the ballpark on the number

Probably not out of the ballpark, but with a potentially catastrophically failed engine it might be an $800 car or so. A buddy of mine wants one as a parts donor to turbo his Volvo 960 wagon. I would run this by him to see if he wants it, but he just bought his seventh car and he has storage for about four.

Sounds like the timing belt went. These are great numb highway cruisers but no fun whatsoever. They have a FWD GM transmission, too. I do know that the motor parts can be used to build some really crazy stuff, though - IIRC an S80 T6 head and a 960 bottom end is the secret formula.

build a sleeper s60r, those angle boxes are a weak point in that part of their generation if you add too much horsepower.
