Topic: 1978 Volvo 262C Bertone, $500, Portland, OR

The good - at some point the PRV v6 was swapped for a red block engine, which actually appears to run really really good, despite a lot of sitting.

Man, I need this.  I have the '77 242 that was wrecked at CMP this past year, but with no apparent cage damage (obviously, would need to be checked over very carefully before being used again, and beefed up some just because).  They're the perfect donors for each other - chop the roofs, move the cage, and get to racing!  If only it wasn't literally as far away in the contiguous US as it could be from me.
