Well, we put a scrap bid on that Volvo and ended up with it. We'll be all in at just under $700 delivered. I'm curious about the wheels...
Nice. I'm excited to see what you do with it. I think VPAutoparts used to sell 5.5" wide steel wheels for the 140 (as opposed to stock 4.5")- maybe those?

First generation AIRBAG version. Extremely rare ...

...but also not very usable today due to the age of the chemicals inside.
Every L7 had the airbag. Unfortunately. Wheels are definitely BBS RS. Would be interesting to see what it sells for since just being an L7 with a salvage title, it’s worth nothing but the final bid with fees will probably exceed the value of the wheels.

Prebid is already at $750 so I'm out. These things don't fall through at auction anymore. You'd have to buy this car, hope you can get it running and driving, swap the wheels out and get some money back from the car. I was just going to pull the wheels and get $300 for scrap for the car.
