Volvo 340, save me from the scrap man!!!!!!

Post by lifeisgr8 » 11 Jul 2011 08:38 pm

ITs a 1.4l engine does turn over on the starter but doesn't presently run, it has four alloy wheels on it, body work although faded is in very good condition, rarer blue colour, we have the logbook, restoration, drift car, spare parts. 1987 model, DL spec

£130


Here is a Sad Story: I have owned other 340's in the past, this one i purchased 3 years ago, and was driven back from swindon, drove fantastically. Unfortunatly whilst at work one day, the yard it was parked in flooded, it flooded all the way up to the roof, it was dried out, and has been left in the yard ever since, it is musty inside. the engine still turns over on the starter, and may start with fresh fuel and a service???? ( trusty volves for you) the suspension has been lowered on one side, not on the other, headlights were removed but in inside car, the body panels in great condition albeit very dull, you can see on the passenger door how it would buff up again though! this car could either be used as a donor car or maybe made into a track car? or if you need panels then this could be a great purchase.

alloy wheels can be sold seperatlly, or go with car,

I am not asking much £130 for the car, I have been offered this much for scrap, but i really love the make and would hate for this to happen, however it is now in the way of building work.


contact my boyfriend James on 07738 441698

£130
pictures on request.

I would imagine the cylinders will be/will have been full of water :( Many parts will be usable however. I do need some parts (two good doors mainly!) Where are you and is it a 3 door? Would it be an option to buy some parts from you with the car in situ, leaving you with the shell to scrap?

I agree about saving cars where possible however, if the bodyworks good someone might be interested especially at that price.
