My car is a 1973 Volvo 164E, which I bought in February of 2004. Its been a good ride so far, I've had to do some replacement work (fan, radiator, engine mounts). And I have found time to throw up some pictures here, so I hope everyone that visits enjoys, and rates my car.

Here is a pic of the original owner's manual.

Before I show anymore pics, I just have to say it is a work in progress. A bunch of bodywork is being done, with a good amount of work showing, so thats why there is a bunch of primer.

Just the front of the car, the typical 164 style.

Same shot, different angle.

Nice side view, can see some of the work around the rear door. Oh yeah, and those wheels are off an '85 240 Turbo, and I think they match well.

Good view of the back, all the work done around the rear fender and deck lid can be seen.

Great interior shot taken from the backseats. Don't know what else to say, except you can notice the head unit isn't mounted.

Crappy pic of whats in the back, I'm rockin two JBL's, thats all I've soundwise right now, but they can crank out some good sound.

The gauge cluster. Very basic, but there is a good story about the milage. I actually replaced the odometer with one off a parts car I own, b/c when I got the car, I cranked a mile, and it decided to stop recording mileage at 97,177 miles. Oh yeah, the speedo does go up to 130, but I've only put it up to 115. I still had a little throttle left, but it was sorta frightening.

Volvo power at its finest. Yeah, right. Need to do a little cleanup on the engine, but it goes well. Its actually quite quick for a 3.0 straight six that's as heavy as an H2 (or thats what it feels like).

The last pic I have right now is of one of the new engine mounts I installed (its no fun when you don't have an engine lift). Both of the old ones were failed, and the fan went through the radiator before I could replace them.

Thats all I have for now, I hope everyone enjoys it, and don't forget to rate my car.
Thanks!
