Aussies with 360's

[TheNed]

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?

[whiskeyonesix]

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!

The numbers are going up now!! I saw one in West End, Brisbane.

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

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.....

Plague proportions I tells ya.

That said, I see far more for sale than driving around here in Inner Melbourne

The second link there is making me kinda tempted for a second one. Looks nice and straight.

That last one in the showroom looks nice.

[360BLT]

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?

[jtbo]

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!
