DCW242 I got this '85 760Turbo today and was wondering if anyone recognises it or knows any history on it. It has aftermarket exhaust, a sunroof and tan velour interior. It was last registered in 2005, apparently it use to live in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne. That's about all I know about it.
242GT Nice looking car, hase to be from the first or second shipment into Australia. Not sure if they are the original wheels.
ramrod Angus242164 "Those wheels are correct for an '85 model, the '84 models had the ten spoke Sirius rims."Technically they are Nova wheels. Very close to Sirius, the only difference being the machined clear coat finish on the Nova and the painted clear coat finish on the Sirius

ANDYPALM Isnt that a 740T Grille? My father had one of the first 760 Turbos( in the same colour as this) in Aus and I am sure it had a chrome slat grille with the Turbo logo on it in one corner. Dads 740 T has the black squares grille after that. Love a good 760 T ..great memories as it replaced a BMW 323i and we all thought it was amazing. Loved the fact Volvo was so keen on the intercooler technology so ahead of its time in cars
Angus242164 It is, the 760T's had the chrome grille with vertical slats the same as the 760GLE but with a turbo badge fitted.I made a hybrid grille for mine with the black 740T centre in the original chrome surround, suits it well in my opinion.
DCW242 I just found out the rego it was sold new with was the vic plate CTP351 if anyone recognises that
