Aussies with 360's

Just wondering how many Aussies there are on here with 360's. Most cars as soon as you buy one they are every where, I have only seen two 360's in the last 15 years. Where are you all hiding?

Simple answer is there aren't that many left! When I bought mine over 2 years ago there were only about 10 left on the roads of Perth, and I've only ever seen another one on the road here, and that was a MK2.
There's not the tramp-drift scene here like there is in the UK ( I suppose cos things like Skylines are fairly cheap and readily available ) and new parts are getting harder to find. Plus the fact that the Australian Branch of the Volvo Owners Club don't take much interest in the 360's.

Well, I have 2. And I know of 3 others in the state of Tasmania (2 on the road and one rusting away). I found one of mine that way (rusting in a paddock), and the roadworthy one was a well looked after town runabout. Which I have now broken since I cleaned out the flame trap to stop it leaking oil. Which being the new year, another attempt this arvo to get it going once more!

Volvo 360 GLT TURBO. I think its best to read the fine print on that last one :roll:

I'm still tossing up on getting another. One for daily driver, one spare and a project car. All I need to find then is that and a 740/940 with a B234.....

It looks real nice. I might go and have a look. I would probably offer $1500 for it. Damn I wish I hadn't spent all that money getting my suspension up to scratch last year!

My girlfriend will kill me if I get another one.

I think that's in the area where Figgy lives. Has anybody heard from her lately?

I did heard that over 90% of houses got damaged on affected area:

Even damages were high, there is only two persons reported missing and I have not read anybody loosing their lives, so evacuation seems to have worked well. There was mention that Cardwell is inaccessible by road and many places have flooding now, I think it could been ending much worse.

Found a nice 360 graveyard today. It's near Yatala, handy for Brisbane 360's!
