my 94 960 had/has previously undetected front end damage(was very well hidden)and i'm still searching for a 960 wagon body.bad engine or non running OK.the frame however,must be straight and undamaged.it's starting to rust thru the repaired area in the frame rail.dont want to go into debt for a body or else i'd have already bought a complete running replacement.i'll transplant my(gasp)216k I-6 into it.i guess i'll stay in the 960 car despite all it's quirks.i can continue driving this one for quite a while even with the damage.i've already performed some unorthadox adjustments to the front suspension and it's finally steering pretty well.it's just the thought of driving a damaged frame car and i dont want to spend the $$$$ to have it stretched/ripped back into place.all in all,it's still damaged,that's my thing.
i also prefer a wagon,i've gotten used to them,it's like a covered/lockable pickup.the wifes 92 960 drives straight as an arrow.that's why i have a problem with mine,if i didn't know any better it wouldn't be an issue.and the 960 has a comfortable/usable headrest,i just love these cars.
BTW,the wife drives the 92 because it's in better(percieved safer) shape than the 94,i'm not being selfish."it's a volvo thing---we all understand".
we're on #6 with 3 still on the road.
