My 760.

[V6 Man]

Given the VOC is down I am touting this car on several Volvo forums.

As some people may now be aware I have decided it is time to move on from my 760 modifying.
Thus my 760GLT is now up for grabs. I will sell it whole if someone wants it, or I will break it for spares if there is more interest that way. I will also be disposingof my entire collection of spares and sundry 7/900 series parts.

For details of the car itself please see this thread;

What are you moving on to, Rupert?

[foggyjames]

Dementure, I think

Make it fast, don't scrap it!

cheers

I'm taking a break for the time being whilst I reorganise my house/drive etc.

I've reached a point with the 760 where in order to keep it I have to spend a fair bit to take it to the next level and I don't think it's the right time for me to do so.

Thus it has to go, either to someone who wants an unusual car or a project base, or in pieces. Either way it's time to move on.

Must say if I hadn't bought the S40 and this came up back then, it would be tempting not to - just for that glorious noise!

Good luck with the sale, Rupert - have you tried Retro Rides? I reckon it'd go down well there... maybe a sound clip would help

[foggyjames]

Are you keeping the S40 now Steve? If not.....g'wan...

cheers

James

[SteveP]

Nah I'm not, but I want something smaller, cheaper to insure and capable of 30-40mpg

[V6 Man]

Like a 340 1.4 5spd.....

[SteveP]

I'm trying very hard not to buy another bloody 300... Luckily there's nothing suitable about

[V6 Man]

Of course you could always buy the engine, bellhousing, wiring loom and ECU's and finally make that 360 of yours fast.........

[classicswede]

Don't think Steve's pants would like that

[SteveP]

Gits

[germ]

or you could go all barry and buy a clio 1.2, does 45-60 mpg just what you need especially with rising fuel costs!

[classicswede]

Or the V6 on LPG would be cheap to run

[filthyjohn]

A hummer on LPG would be cheap to run. Dai, I'm going to be wanting a kit before the end of the year, how big a tank can you get into a 40?
