Perfect companion for my orange (colorado beige) wagon

This one's another pukey seventies color... Is it beige or faded orange?

Anyhow it;s a '77 Volvo 245

That has to be beige. Volvo's safety orange was so strong a color, it would never fade down to that tone.

Yeah, gutless cars with hitches --

It's too far for me to bother with, but damn tempting. Assuming most of the stuff was sorted out I would buy some snows and use it as a winter car.

Those Volvos are not that gutless considering it was 1977 when it was made. The 2.1 liter 4 cyl B21A should be good for between 100 and 123 HP which is not bad considering that the 305 V8 in the Chevy Impala was only good for 145hp!

I would jump on it too if it was not 1/2 way across the country from me.
They are built like W123s and last as long.
It also looks pretty clean from the pics
