Just a note on the instrument panel. When I had mine, I lost the speedometer after resetting the service light. My issue ended up being on what I'd call a printed ribbon cable. I fixed it with a circuit writer pen.

My 960 customer had issues with the transmission controller not getting a speed signal. The speed signal goes to the speedometer unit and then the speedometer unit sends a washed signal to the trans controller.
Man was I happy when I found that the speedometer was getting a signal from the speed sensor. It looks like to change the speed sensor on a 960 (with its IRS) you have to drop the rear suspension/subframe/diff in order to access it. Like that is going to happen on a 20 year old car. Anyway we sent the cluster out to a company whose name I forgot and they fixed it.
I really wish I could jump on this. Down the road I'm looking for a turbo engine, manual trans, and alloy wheels for my 745. Just not a good time for me currently.
At this rate it will probably still be here when you are ready.
Does it still have the Hydras? What kind of shape are they in? Tires? Any fluid leaks? What about shocks and struts - OE or aftermarket? Recently replaced?
Still has the hydras, dirty but in pretty good shape, no center caps. Tires are worn and one looses air slowly. Haven't noticed any fluid leaks. I believe shocks and struts are OE, probably not replaced recently.
Message sent!
I really shouldn't even be looking at this, but just curious, how much power can these things make with minimal work (bigger injectors, dialed up boost)?
200-250hp should be pretty easy with minimal work.
Still here. Any interest in a package deal with my 94 940 wagon? Much better condition but n/a auto drivetrain. Combine both for the ultimate 7/9 series wagon. Can get pictures later.
WTF? No one's buying a running, driving, not-too-rusty car for $600??? You people are nutz!

I will consider trades for an Amazon.

I wish I could buy this. I'm broke and its too far away from me right now.
Sold! Off to live a life of rallycross in Michigan.
In reply to EvanB:
Did you tell the new owner to come down to Ohio with it every now and then?
I didn't think to but it'll be at the national challenge so I'll tell him then.
Confirmed, I am now the proud owner of this beautiful piece of machinery
Is this it? Looks like it.
That's it.
