Naw, I mean the ones from the late 80's early 90's.


Those were much better built than mine was.

Yup, a wagon

We had an '87 740 GLE until 2002 if you're thinking of that. It wasn't a turbo though.

Old Volvo's are soo much better than the new ones.

Anyone know how those old turbo models hold up over the years?

My 1990 740 Turbo has 237,000 miles on the clock and it's still on it's original turbo.
