I've had a hankering for a simple project car for a while, maybe this would be a good start? Maybe over priced, but i'm just so amazed at how not beat to poo poo the interior looks. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/eat/cto/5270484485.html      full album for when the listing goes down here

Looks nice. The only thing off is the Chintzy-looking headunit. I wish there were OEM-looking headunits but I understand why they don't exist. Price would be in line for where I live. Working A/C is a big plus.

That Volvo's gone through a couple different engines and transmissions, in case anybody was hoping/praying it was all original. Owner is not the nicest guy in the world, IIRC.

slidebite posted:How do those work? I think they showed one off on an episode of Hot Rod Garage. If I remember right it goes on the output of the transmission, and is essentially another gear, with its own little clutch you activate. I think you can also use it to create in-between gears like a hi-lo box.

It's actually a factory thing on some older Volvos - I don't know if the 1800 would've had it stock, but they were common in the 240/740. I think they're set up to only be able to engage when the transmission is in fourth, and they aren't particularly stout units from what I recall. The one on HRG is a massively beefy aftermarket thing that you can abuse to hell and back.

Yep, at least in it's motherland of Sweden, lots of 240's had them before they all got 5-speed transmissions sometime in the mid 80's, and I think some early 740's did too. You could only engage it when in 4th (and it would disengage if you changed into any other gear). However, removing that restriction was just a matter of cutting a wire to some "I-am-in-4th-sensor", so I had a bunch of friends who drove around in old cars (10-15 years later) with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears. Using all 8 when accelerating was fun and utterly impractical.

Duckaerobics posted:I think they showed one off on an episode of Hot Rod Garage. If I remember right it goes on the output of the transmission, and is essentially another gear, with its own little clutch you activate. Here's the overdrive transmission going into my MG. It was built by the same company that built units for Volvo, Laycock De Normanville.  The black portion is a 4 speed manual gearbox, and the entire silver part is the overdrive. In 3rd or 4th gear a solenoid can be energized to engage a planetary gear set that raises the final output rpm by about 25%. It's a smooth transition and doesn't require clutching, so it's fun to use on twisty roads. The switches are usually either on the dash, attached to the shifter knob, or in my case, a front-back click of the wiper stalk. They were fairly popular in Volvos and British cars for a while as a way to lower highway rpms without having to widen gearboxes for an extra row of gears.

Seeing as to how it's as big as the gearbox itself, I can see why they eventually just bit the bullet and made 5-speed boxes.

Transmission has three new bearings; however, it is currently stuck in reverse. My gut feeling is that the transmission will need some work. It will most likely need to be towed. If you can afford to fix the transmission, it might be worth it. Second one looks better. Is this Madison, WI? If it is, isn't rust a big issue?

I'd rather have the Mazda for cheap and fix the trans. Could be a linkage or something simple, or a trans swap at worst. With the drive layout I doubt the swap would be that hard even if that were the case.

That guy went into the transmission to replace the bearings by himself and didn't put it back together right.
