1971 Volvo 164

Well I haven’t posted in a while because it’s been cold and since I don’t have a garage I haven’t really been able to motivate myself to work on fixing the heat when it’s 30degrees out.  Ironically fixing the blower motor will have to wait till spring (when I won’t use it anyway).

In the meantime I picked up a parts car – this one a 1972 164 with MT and electronic overdrive.  It’s in a bit of rough shape but it’s fuel injected which is a whole new set of problems challenges that my gullible friend Jim has agreed to help me get running this spring.  Here are some photos of the parts car (the seats aren’t in bad shape!):

I grabbed a whole bunch of trim off the parts car and some incidentals like the original vinyl glovebox folder with ‘Volvo 164′ in silver lettering on it.  The parts car was apparently an extra in the film ‘Swedish Auto’ that was filmed right here in Charlottesville a few years ago.
