well not the owner yet, but will be tomorrow barring an act of god. its a 1973 145, what you might call a beater. known issues are, faulty throttle position switch, burning some oil, and rusty/ugly. but hey, the purchase price is $50!!! some questions:
can anyone comment on the throttle position switch issue?
what manuals should I be getting?
what are the parts sources for vintage volvos in CO, front range area?
what preventative maintenance should I do?
It is a B20 engine, FI right? can someone elaborate on the fuel system?
on to the pics! hope these work...
