360 on e-bay - pricey but good!
Can't believe that no-one has noticed this one, or are you all saving it for yourselves!
OK, bit pricey, but blimey, what condition. If it were 100 miles closer..........Also decided that if I am going to spend this sort of money, I will do so on the 440. Still, looks a bloomin cracker from the ad! As usual, not my car, no connection with seller etc http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1983-VOLVO...2#ht_681wt_958 Good luck

Noticed it pretty much straight away, but I have no space (curse you 760) but one day...
Oh BTW there was a metallic blue 82 GLS on www.carandclassic.co.uk but it has now gone. It was on there for about 3 months for £3000! Plus the price of 300s seems to have risen quite a bit over the last year, this is the 2nd cheapest tax and tested 360 I've seen for a while. Last edited by 360beast; Apr 5th, 2014 at 09:16. |

the recent " Professional respray" puts me right off , rust coming through, laquer peeling after 18 months ... There is no reason at all why the original paint wouldnt be 100% even on a 360 of this age ( I know , i had one ) ... ask why the WHOLE car was resprayed ..

No sale at £1200......so immediately re-listed as no reserve auction, no surprise there then!!
Be interesting to see what happens now........

I hadn't spotted the bit about the respray. The profile of the front wheelarches looks odd to me...and some of the paint looks orange-peely.
I strongly suspect it had various bits of rust all over, to the point that only all-over paint would do. Whether or not it's an issue depends on the quality of the work, but I would inspect it extremely carefully! cheers James

We all know that usually a 300 of this vintage "should" have a rusty front valance, rear arches, sills.......etc! As you say, it rather depends how well the (undoubtably required) remidial work under the new paint was carried out. Still, it is a (now pretty rare) 360 saloon in decent enough looking condition, and a nice colour combination. By the way, I have now put a bid on - at a price I would like to pay and no more taking the above into account - so you never know! Regards as always,
