Car was from Georgia originally and is in good shape. Pics show 2 worst areas on car. Car needs a paintjob.

Located in Manchester NH - $3500 or trades? This is an EXTREMELY fair price, I am only asking what I have into the driveline.

Haters.... keep your comments to yourself.
The interior is a little taken apart at the minute, I just finished tidying up the wiring, I have all the trim bits.

That's great!

I'd offer up my '90 XJ but I don't think it would be a worthy trade for you.

Good luck.

I had three early 80's Volvo's and they were geat rides and super easy to work on. Kudos on the swap.
How will that pass inspection/ emissions...not too familiar with the NH procedures.

It should not be a problem. There isn't emissions testing on vehicles this old, and other then that it is just a safety inspection.
