Well it didn't take long to find a great replacement for our Volvo 850. I picked up a 96 855 TLA (Platinum Edition). The car was a Craigslist find and all there but hogged up beyond belief. (I never could understand whey people abuse their cars.) Straight body with the exception of the hood which for cosmetic purposes will need to be replaced due to a trunk denting the bend around the grill area. The rest of the body is surprisingly straight and the interior hasn't one crack in the leather. How that happened I have no idea because I have seen farm equipment look cleaner than this car.

Anyway, it will be a worthy replacement for the 854 and a nice future collectible. Only car I'd rather have stumbled upon is a 95 T5r yellow wagon. And my youngest son will never see this car. He is moving to another 850 NA we have in the family. Thanks again for all the great advice on rebuilding vs buying a replacement.
