1988 Volvo 740 GLT review from Sweden
"The Ultimate Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission cable busted at 150 000 Kilometres.
General comments?
Well what do I have to say, I'm Swedish, the car is Swedish.
We simply complete each other.
At first the car was slow, but I purchased a Modification Chip for +50HP,
now it runs like Indy Car.
Top Speed at 240 KM/H.
The seats are comfortable and when I drive it feels like I'm in total control.
I have also Totally changed, the front, new seats, side-lists and more.
Here is a link to a picture!
