Anyone here work on volvos??
Just got a general question about one of em, before I get one for the wife. I figure some tech on here might know a little about them."oohh...thats gonna leave a mark!"

Well the qustion I had is that its a 1990 940 Turbo Wagon, well maintained, but all the parts places list 91-98 940's and not the 90. So I know its the 740 reskinned mostly, but a volvo site lists the 940 as being introduced in 1991 so Im confused, thus the need for an answered question. Thanks Denny."oohh...thats gonna leave a mark!"

My brother in law had one. Pretty cool looking, and great gas mileage. Classy inside also.

For sure!! I recall Jim's torsion bar suspension on at least one of his builds, but I'm not sure which one! Maybe the Track T?? He's a talented builder.
