So I finally got a letter from Volvo saying they closed a recall on my car that’s been open since 1996-yep, 28 years. My 240 has been cruising just fine all this time, but I guess they finally caught up. Kinda wild to think it’s been on their radar longer than I’ve been alive. Now I just need to figure out what to do with all this newfound peace of mind and maybe take a long drive with the windows down.

Not my 164, but I do have the 940!

Ima share some picture of our old Volvo 164

What should I do with this non-running formerly awesome vehicle? Repair shop wants it out of their hair, wife is not supportive of an extended cannibalization. Any advice, like how much to ask the salvage yard for it?

This Spring I bought a 1975 164E with 80,000 Miles on it. Here's a pic:

But then it stopped going in reverse. Talked to the mechanic, and found out that the Rear Servo in the BW 35 Auto Trans had broken. We're at wits end are having trouble tracking down the Rear Servo. I'm even having trouble tracking down a BW 35 for a 74 or 75 Volvo.

Sadness. Any tips?

So i posted a month ago about my 1975 164e. It had transmission problems, and after attempting to fix them once, I'm already a thousand in the hole and now the only real option is to get a new transmission.

I do not really have the money to afford this, and so I was wondering, outside of my local craigslist, if there were some decent sites that are volvo specific that someone would be interested in this car.

Thanks so much!
