Subject:NVC: Volvos.....again.

Well guys, it's friday. Some time back e determined a direct correlation
between some peoples love of vanagons, and their love of Volvos. There were
a ton of list members with 240s and other classic volvo models. To all of
you with this love, keep it up, they're great cars.
Well i have found myself in a situation that requires me to find a new rear
hatch for my 1985 Volvo 245 Station Wagon (Burgundy). The one thats on there
needs something along the lines of $400 of rust repair, and the latch is
broken. So i figure, i'm better off finding another hatch in good shape. I
understand they were compatible from '75-85, so if anyone knows of a
burgundy volvo wagon in a junk yard, and would like to make a buck selling
the hatch (especially if its in good shape), no junkyard i've called in my
tristate area has one, and no one is willing to ship one. I'm in Pittsburgh
PA, so anything along this coast (the RIght Coast) would be good, and pickup
may be available.

With the diversity of this list, there's probably someone on the east coast
with a garage full of Volvo 240 trunks thinking to themselves "i should
really get rid of these...". Thanks again!

Happy Fridays...
