There is just one problem with the car; the gears doesn't work(sounds like the same vario problem i had in my DAF66). That's the reason why he gives it away to someone who will take care of the car. If I had room for it I would take it!

(Yes, "Remjohan" is a nickname for volvo's with variomatic)
the owner says: "I borrowed the car to my son who told me one day that it doesn't shift anymore! The car is in Edsbyn and is in 99% free from rust."
You have to contact the magazine(red@klassiker.nu) to get in touch with the owner.

Could be interesting if the car is free (and 99% rust free), even if it is a 3200km round trip :shock:

Cheers

Very nice, although I already have a red 1979, so I'll have to pass on this one. If only it were two years older...(and preferably not red!)
