where to take my volvo??? parts? 140-160 1974

I have a 1974 145 series wagon in need of some electrical work and exhaust manifold work. How would you recomend getting rid of it? And what would you say it is worth?

where to take my volvo??? parts? 140-160 1974

I would like to see the car. My wife and I have a 73/145 and we absolutely love this machine. I bought my 73' five months ago for 500$ here was the condition: Body= some rust spots / no dents / oxidized paint
Mech= engine needed "FI" wire harness--> and almost all the FI parts replaced 350$ / m40 tranny was under-serviced and noisy / rear end was leaking and near dry / engine--> checked out good mechanically (shop tune and diag. 300$) / rear brakes ground down to nothing but metaIetal 250$

After some repairs and TLC my car get's 28mpg and drives great for about 1400$
I love projects and am really impressed with volvo engineering overall. I will be in Seattle Jun 7-9

What kind of electrical work? And what kind of exhaust manifold work? I have a couple of manifolds, one for dual carbs and one for FI. I'm in Puyallup, might have a buyer for my 1971 142e so I might be interested if you just want to sell, tell me more.
