  • (Vic) *Sold* 850R Wagon, Olive Green. Project. $1500

Volvo 850R Wagon, Olive Green. Good Project.  $1500 o.n.o

1997 Volvo 850R Wagon in Olive Green. Automatic.

approx. 330,000kms on car, about 120,000kms on engine recently replaced. 

Am Selling my 850R again, i bought it back only a few months ago with plans to restore it back to its former glory, but suddenly ended up finding something else that was a better choice and something i had been wanting for a long time, (05 Shark Nose Saab 9-5 Aero) and I’ve already got a better R that needs work too.

-its in rather rough shape as you can see, (last photo is a few years back when it was washed shows what it did/could look like! but its still an 850R wagon deep down and would be great once fixed up maybe even with a manual swap and some mods. they are getting harder to find and expensive so even this would be worth restoring.

-Engine was replaced a few years ago with a good low mileage and slightly newer one, runs well no issues would just need the basics done and a service as its been sitting a while. 

-Does need a Transmission, auto seems to completely die once warmed up. can drive briefly cold then stops. not a huge cost to replace but would be perfect for a Manual Transmission swap! 

-needs all the brakes replaced, and fluid

-suspension is very very soft would been an overhaul 

-needs the 850R Volan wheels (few leads if needed)

-has a normal T5 interior as the cream 850R interior was taken out by previous owner, but is mostly complete, needs a few bits here and there, headliner sagging

-missing lower front bumper but will come with car not fitted - needs battery

-all the basics work fine (lights, wipers, climate, audio, windows etc)

-roof and bonnet need a re spray, sided and boot ok but probably worth either a good cut and polish or paint the whole car. 

-needs a good clean up and some love but someone will get a good car out of it, or worse case part out. 

can provide more info and some prices and lists of exactly what it would need to get it to a roadworthy state and some ideas on brake and suspension upgrades from Ash @ DVS. 

Price is reasonably negotiable as i need it gone. 

can message me here or through Facebook. 

-located in Upwey, Vic. can provide more details re: pickup and location for serious buyers, car is currently with friends so need to arrange any inspections and sale to suit them. 

would need to be trailered away.
