Description
In 2002, the owner moved back to Sweden, and her loyal Volvo followed. Now, after 35 years of ownership, it is time for the car to find a new owner. Over the past few years, she has done her best to maintain the car, including partially repainting it with a spray can, patching up the headliner, and sealing the sunroof with silicone (which has since been removed).
The best part is that the car is not rusty, though it does need a repaint or wet sanding and polishing, as well as a new headliner. Additionally, lots of older documentation and service history are included.

Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
As mentioned, the car runs and drives without any issues but does need a standard service. The electric windows and driver's side mirror work, but the passenger mirror, sunroof, and AC do not. The car has good wheels with older tires, plus an additional set of older winter wheels and tires included.
-
Interior condition
Interior is complete with nice seats and good carpets but needs a new headliner due to sunroof leaks over time. The California sun has also cracked the top of the dashboard. The instrumentation and gauges work, and the radio is included. Please see the pictures for details.
-
Exterior condition
Bodywork is straight, except for a small dent on the passenger side rear lower wheel arch, and it does not suffer from rust issues. The underbody is clean with no body rust, only some surface rust in places. The paintwork is 50% original and 50% spray can, which could be wet sanded and polished to look better, repainted, or kept as is.
-
General condition
This is a very sought-after car, being a manual/overdrive 740 GLE with American square headlights and no rust issues. It has low mileage but needs some cosmetic fixes that can be done over time, such as replacing the headliner.
