    Default New toy

    I have always wanted a 95 Volvo 850 T-5R but never even seen one for sale. I guess I got the next best thing, a 95 850 GLT. Engine needs some repairs. The seats need covers or recovered. Otherwise the car is mint. I think this one is a keeper. Should make a nice sleeper with a turbo swap.

    Very. I traded it for another toy of higher interest is the only reason I got rid of it. It was a 4 cylinder/auto and was a turd and I wanted something I could mod for performance.
