I have a friend who has an appreciation for manual Volvos, and is looking to sell a couple for parts [their words]. I am familiar with both cars, they were on the road fairly recently (I'd say 6mo ago for the S60, and 2mo for the 850). The 850 needs a heater core, which took it off the road (which is a shame, as those are the easiest heater cores to change I've ever encountered). The S60 was quoted for needing a steering rack, and inner and outer tie rod ends. Not 100% sure how bad they are, but the engine, clutch, and transmission are all in good shape. It's black, has 18" Pegasus wheels on it, a dent in the passenger rear door, and a grimy interior. Probably best cannibalized for a challenge build (drop the entire front end into the back of something lighter?), or just parted out. This person does not have time / know how to part them out, so it's a buy the whole car (or two!) sort of deal. I am two cars over capacity, otherwise I would be taking them in, at least temporarily (...No, I do not have a problem, why do you ask?).
If folks are interested I can head down and get some pictures / check them out in person / set you up with the owners. The cars are located in Rensselaerville, NY, which if you Google it is equally inconvenient from Albany, I87, and I88. I am about an hour out, but can help facilitate getting them to a good home.
