760 parts / body shop in Columbus Ohio region? 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Joe on  Tue Jan 25 05:36 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hello,

The hood on the 1988 to 1990 760 is a very hard one to find. The hood is aluminum and is roughly $950-$1000 new (unpainted). The hood is different on these cars, due to the rounded front edge and the lack of a metal cowl (the hood runs right into the windshield, as you may have noticed). Anyway, I needed one for my 1988 760 Turbo a few years back. I called EVERYWHERE, including strictly Volvo salvage yards (one in Georgia claimed to have over 75,000 700/900 series parts in stock; even they had none and quoted $400 for a used one if they had it). If it were me, I would repair it if not too badly damaged.

Another hood for that car may be very hard to find and very expensive...
