Hello all,

I'm new here--greetings--and would like to ask the populace what it thinks the value of an excellent condition, unmolested, bone-stock 46,000-mile '84 244 Turbo w. AT is.

Mind, I am not a collector, and have no real sentimental attachment to old Volvos, apart from respecting their durability and geeky character--I have an '85 240 DL now--but would think it would be a good, fun, daily driver/fast trip car. Meaning I'm going to drive it, and not store it--it will be well taken care of, but used as indicated. I don't believe it'll ever be collectable.

Spare wheel has never been used (note sticker!)--and car comes with near-complete IC kit, missing only the IC-intake manifold pipe. Only real paint flaw is some slight fading of clearcoat on part of the roof.

It's described as being a 3-sp. w. overdrive--is that what an AW-71 tranny is?

With IC installed, and IPD turbo cam+intake airflow mods if needed, could a feller expect around, say, 180 crank HP out of it? That would suffice.

Thanks for the input!
