Breaking K-reg Volvo 164

Triple-S · Aug 13th, 2009, 20:54

Have concluded this 164 is beyond economic/sensible restoration, so will be breaking soon.

It starts, drives and stops very well and has until now been in use as an engine-parts test bed for my other cars. However, the rust has now taken hold in many places, so sense must prevail.

Most parts available (except fog/spot-lights): the twin-carb engine is very healthy and has steel timing gears too. The rest is very worn generally, but all is restorable if better is not available.

Send PM if bits wanted - however I won't be selling just one front caliper, leaving me with over a ton of immovable scrap, also I want some bits. The car is located on the south coast.

PS as they closed my local post office, unfortunately I won't be carting items to the next nearest one for shipment beyond these shores - collection would be best I reckon; that would give you a chance to see it running.

Hi Paul,

I don't suppose that it has a centre console unit of the type that also fits Amazons?

Cheers,

Paul

What's the boot floor like, Paul? Are you handy with an angle grinder...?

Bit of a shame about the fogs...mine is missing them. Chrome headlight trims?

cheers

James

Donegal - apologies for late response but not on here too often.

Drivers seat (black leather) shows average wear (ie needs at least some hide feed - no big splits though) but pass. one has long split down it. However, I may have another (too dark to check now) - will look under carport tomorrow and get back to you.

Do you have the power steering for sale?.

Thanks.

Do you have a rear bumper with the rubber in good condition?

Hi Paul - do you have a decent pair hydraulic boot lid lifters & perhaps a boot lock with key would be great.

Many thanks and kind regards
