It's almost completely stock, 'cept for a few things here and there.

I put in spiffy yellow foglights mounted in the grill, but the PO tried to rewire the dash and the switches were mixed up and the wires were incorrectlly set up so they don't work right now.

I don't have a radio right now, the old one was missing buttons, neither the FM nor the AM worked and 1 out of 5 times the cassette would be ripped to shreds before you could pop it out again.

It's got 242999 miles on it. Actually I don't know how many miles it's got 'cause the odometer's broken.
I've been thinking about getting a new motor for it eventually, maybe a B230FT from a 740 turbo volvo.
And maybe a real five-speed too.
