What’s special about this listing

This Volvo has been a great Car. Full of character and deserving of getting back on the road.
I Bought this bad boy from a mechanic who built it up in the 90s. Like every project car, many parts have been changed throughout the years, most notably.
-IPD Big Bore Kit (.30 over)
-Mid Range High lift camshaft
-Molly lifters/pushrods
-Replaced rockers
-High compression head
-Heavy duty oil pump
-Oil cooler
-Electric Fan
-Re-cored Radiator
-Center console Gauges (oil pressure, water temp, battery voltage)
-Bilstein Front shocks
-KYB in rear
-Lowering springs all around
-Sway bars front and rear
-Italian Magnesium rims
-164 driveshaft
-1975 m40 transmission from a 240
-2.5" exhaust with headers

The Engine always ran strong, and i drove it for 6 years.
It has been parked for 5 years.
The body has a few small dings and some surface rust, but overall is in good shape. Door/Window seals need to be changed.
Interior has held up pretty well too, custom chevron upholstery. There are a couple tears in the sides of the front seats but overall, a nice looker.
Another note, the differential is original, and as far as i know, its hasn't been touched. It leaked oil, and i just kept it filled up.
The last project I was working on was getting a pair of side draft carburetors installed, replacing the old weber conversion that had been on it since the 90's
I've got all the parts and pieces to make it happen and that can all be yours when the vehicle is purchased.
I also have a spare radiator, manifolds, carburetors, idler arm bushing upgrade, original bumper, spare rim and tires.
