My father worked at Volvo Construction Equipment for years - back when
they still owned the car company - and drove his Studebaker all summer
(even drove it for a movie once, while they were shooting some film in
the VCE parking lot).  I don't remember what other cars he had at the
time, but I know he hasn't ever owned a Volvo.  They offered him a
discount on new, but it wasn't enough.

On the other hand I've owned 3 so maybe that makes up for it. :)

The AC needs to be recharged and the cruise control needs a new control

Except the AC.  Max has a diesel just like that, he knows all about them.

Mercedes 1981 300CD (rare) lower price

Date: 2010-06-12, 10:49AM

1981 300CD (rare) W123 coupe, complete some rust, was taken off road 
years ago do to slipping transmission and poor compression. Vehicle is a 
complete vehicle and a wealth of PARTS, As is Where is.

This would make an excellent project or parts car for restoration of a 
CD (two door coupe), the price is for the complete vehicle. If I keep 
the wheels I can offer a better price! I WILL DEAL $450 OBO

Clean title, and a wealth of PARTS. Be reasonable (MAKE ME AN OFFER) and 
we can make a deal. Breath life into your classic or Build your own bio 
diesel.
