Re: how much HP does a 1985 740 GLE (non turbo) wagon have? 700 1985

89 is the year, and there would be no reason to coomplain about having it in your car either. All that was needed was to perform the routine maintenance on schedule and the engine is as reliable as in any other Volvo. Granted it won't be as forgiving if you try to stretch the timing belt replacement time, but really that isn't a good idea anyway. Despite comments to the contrary the 16 valve cars are not found in piles in the scrapyards any more than other volvos, just ask the people that own and enjoy them.
