I like wagons and I like eccentric cars, but I could not bring myself to love that thing. The exterior is bad but the interior is a horrific reminder of how bad interiors were in the 1980s and early 90s.

I don't get the idea of putting this much money into a crappy Volvo. I understand a cheap old v8 swap, but an LSx? For the amount this thing would cost, you could buy something newer that came with a "super clean" factory install. With the added bonus being that you can buy off the shelf parts, take it anywhere to get it serviced, oh, and have a chassis designed around the motor.

Hmm
You guys are tough.
It would probably look a whole lot better with just some better wheels/tires and a front airdam/chin spoiler. But the dated look is part of the charm in some ways, although not as classic retro as the 240.
The interior while dated is in quite nice shape and as mentioned above the front seats in these are quite comfy.
