Hello All! I've quietly looked to this board for info for a month now, and it's been a big help, so thanks! My very first car (hand picked by me!) was a green 1973 Volvo 164E in pretty fine shape purchased in 1995. I lost it through no fault of my own and since then I have looked for a replacement.
I finally found an extremely clean, original one only 2200 miles from my home near Chicago. It checked out A+Okay and it's even in the color I wanted to find. Even though the third-party inspection guy said that he'd jump right in and drive it home if he were me, I arranged to have it shipped and I finally got it home last Saturday. Now that it's actually here and I can't jinx it, I'd like to share the pictures with you all now - http://gallery.me.com/ojdorson#100072 - and in separate threads I'd like to ask for more info and advice. As I go through this car and make repairs/upgrades, I'll try to document everything so as to share back.
