1980 Volvo 244 diesel

I bought this car out of an estate as a non runner just because the body was in such fantastic condition with only 85K miles. The car was driven only during the summer months in upstate NY. I replaced fuel filters. lines and the glow plugs and the engine runs fine. The transmission was working OK then suddenly lost reverse gear. Still will go in reverse but it slips. The body is in amazing condition. the original paint is oxidized but there is no rust through. There are very small spots around window trim. The bottoms of the doors. rocker panels and trunk spare tire wells are all free of any rust. The brakes have been replaced from master cylinder to rotors except for the the steel lines. The interior is in very good condition. The driver's seat is torn at a seam. The dash has one small crack in it. Everything else is in good shape. All lights. gauges and switches work. The car has four good summer tires and two new studded snows with it. This is a great candidate for a V8 conversion. The diesels have heavier springs in the front and stronger brakes to accommodate the extra weight of the diesel engine.
