I hit a deer in my 82 240 doing around 50 and the worst thing that happened was the headlight blew out. They really are brick shithouses.

^^ I unironically love this and I'm happy that the ad isn't on the same continent because I'd buy it in a heartbeat. So. drat. Cool. The only drawback is the 4 cylinder.Seat Safety Switch posted:What is that pole just doing out in the middle of nowhere anyway? I see another pole at the entry but I have no idea what they were for. Phone, maybe? Old phone pole. There are a few more along the road later in the clip. No wires though.

From what I've read, the draw-back happens to be the rats-nest of vacuum lines involved in the carb setup, but 4.0L HO head, and subsequent FI setup, will swap on with little difficulty so there is nothing to be afraid of just embrace the wagon stone soup fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Nov 9, 2018 |

The 258 is the 4.0's father, making the 4.0 an essentially AMC design  No top end power but a whole lot of grunty torque and a powerplant you can smash the gently caress out of and it will come back asking for more. The one I had was a rusty, neglected 85. I had to wrench the differential over myself from underneath the car and just drove it in 4 wheel mode the whole time. Even with lovely tires that thing smashed Madison winters like nobody's business. I did have to run some guitar wire through the carburetor venturi but it ran great after that!

I had to pause it and go frame-by-frame because at first blush it looked like the Volvo just drove straight through the pole without a single mark on its bumper. Turns out it sideswiped the pole, and you can't see the damage. Still awesome.
