Turbo LS V8 6-Speed: 1987 Volvo 740 Wagon

Another day, another V8 powered Volvo wagon offered for sale, but this one has a manual gearbox and some sweet gold wheels and a bunch of other upgrades. The asking price is a smidge more than I’d like to pay for something as silly as a V8 Volvo, but this one is gonna be as fun as the infamous Yoshifab V8lvo. Find this 1987 Volvo 740 Wagon offered for $18000 in Jackson, NJ via craigslist. Tip from Cory.
