Maybe someday I'll own, care for, and motor about in one.
Well, I'd motored and repaired many 164s.
That I-6, the last I-6 Volvo designed and built for their autos. With manual transmission and overdrive (M410, thank you).
(Welp, the 960/S90/V90 has the Porsche engine in it, I guess).
Or, better, hang the 164 front end on a 142 and move the 164 guttiwuts into the 142 for the imaginary, yet fabled, 162e). Now, that'd be swell!
I can dream, can't I?
cheers,
