This is a listingeverything thats been done to the Volvo:

Recently painted in NATO Green . Body and frame are in really great condition everything has been undercoated.
15000 Kilometers from new, and I have all the MOTs(UK Registrations) and the Swedish Army Service Books and all records back to the first service at 100Kms to show how low the mileage is. I even have the key fob with her original army licence plate number on it!
Mechanical & comfort upgrades include:
5 new Maxxis 35 X 12.50 X 16 tyres on powder coated tubeless rims, the 5th is mounted on a custom lifting rear mount so you can access the rear storage lockers easily. Also Have Hi-Lift Jack mounted on top of the spare tire
A stainless steel exhaust system, new exhaust manifold, new water pump, factory serviced replacement Alternator
new CV Boots, new brake cylinders all round, resealed bottom swivels, recent brake shoes all round, new rubber hub seals (4), new diaphragm for the 4WD actuator. New sliding prop shaft rubber boots (2)
The soft top has new velcro and repaired and re-seamed and sealed where necessary, I also have a custom made bikini top in green.
The seats in the back with 3 high backs with arm rests and seat belts built in (inertia type) so they are really comfortable (still have all original seats). The fronts are original but have inertial seat belts fitted for more comfort.
Rear heater water pipes all replaced, and heater moved under seats out of the way of feet. and now seats 6 in comfort!
There is also a 24 Volt high output VI-AIR compressor built in with flexi hose and gauge for tyres etc.
6 X 12 Volt outlets for phone chargers GPS etc
EI H4 HEADLIGHT upgrade KIT 70/75W with stone guards on the lights.
There 4 additional guages mounted volt meter, oil pressure, vacumn and tachometers. A rev counted is mounted above the speedo on the original dashboard. I have another original dashboard if required as well.
There is a full international CB Radio system mounted behind the passenger seat (easy reach for driver) with twin rear aantennas.
Both diaphragms in the Carburetors (although they were good anyway) just to keep the carbs running perfect, which they are, these have recently been balanced and tuned. It has 123 Ignition on it via a 45Amp (24v-12v)voltage dropper, which can be used for many other 12V items too.
There is another pair of 12V batteries on the other side in the back charged from a split charge system, these power the 9000Lb Superwinch fitted with Plasma Synthetic Rope, which is like new and has been used2 or 3 times It mounts front or rear on special custom mounts with high power connectors.
Also has new plugs and high output Wires & Coil as well. New heater control cables and valves, new throttle cable, new choke cable.
New rubber matting in the rear (original still retained in perfect condition)
I am sure there are more upgrades but I can’t think of them right now!
As for Spare Parts
NEW water pump
Spare alternator
Fuel pump NEW
Clutch cable
Throttle cable
4xDistributor Caps New
6 Spark PlugsNew
4 Volvo CV Boots New
2 Urethane CV Boots New

Mopar,

Thats a cool vehicle. Is there really 21" of ground clearance under the differentials? Did you measure it?

I am asking respectfully, because I am no expert. Its just suprising that you would have 21" of clearance on that vehicle when a standard C303 seems to have 15" or 16" of clearance based on my limited research, and the Pinz its parked next to in your picture probably has about 14".

Please confirm. Many thanks.

I think you should either clarify in your ad exactly where you are measuring your 21" of "ground clearance", or use 16" if its not specified. Since "ground clearance" is generally understood as being measured from the lowest part of the vehicle, your ad is misleading. Just my $.02
