We bought this 1980 Volvo in 1982 and it served our 4 person family through all the normal trials and tribulations that a family life brings for about 23 years. When we finally sold it it had over 225,000 miles, I always said I never needed weight training as driving this Volvo with no power steering was like driving a tank. In some ways I miss the memories these pictures of the Volvo bring. I saw it a couple of months after we sold it for $500 and it looked so bad that I doubt it is around anymore.
