The Volvo 700 series was the last total redesign iteration of Volvo's boxy sedan platform that started with the 140 series way back in 1966. The 740s were even powered by the B-series redblock inline-4s (which was an overhead cam replacement for the older B18/B20) and 760s were V6 or diesel inline-6 powered...or 4-banger turbo powered like this next one.

This next car comes as a tip from Jeff who writes: Ya gotta love depreciation... especially when it comes to used BMW / M-B cars. I know, I know... the stories behind the electronics with this engine might actually make late 70's/early 80's model Jaguar owners wince, but I'm a sucker for low mileage, European V-12 rides.... not that I'd be fool enough to own one in my current tax bracket though. Only a 2-owner car, but the seller (the second owner) has only owned it for four months....... (insert pic of your wallet floating in water with the 'Jaws' theme song playing here).

The Volvo 700 series was an executive class sedan/wagon built as a replacement for the aging 200 series, but it was actually outlasted by its younger brother. The 700 was eventually morphed into the 900 series which was the end of the line for Volvo's rear-drive family cars. What this means today is the 760/740 is a great candidate for all kinds of V8 swaps and today's blue sedan is no exception. Find this 1983 Volvo 760 with V8 Swap here on eBay

Whenever you mention a V12s powerdd luxury sedans,the iconic Mercedez-Benz S-Class springs to mind, but don't forget that BMW started putting V12 power plants into their 7-series way back in 1987 and you can still get a V12 in a 7-series today...but you won't want to drop that kind of cash on a car even if you are a Rockefeller. Certainly not when the used ones are almost free. Save yourself some cash and buy this 2005 BMW 760Li currently bidding for $7,600 here on eBay

On paper, a rear-wheel drive diesel Volvo wagon with a 5-speed sounds like an ideal formula for a daily hauler. But "even communism works on paper," as any smug Huffington Post reader will tell you. The problem wasn't necessarily the slower-than-walking D24 diesel engine or its 75-horsepower output, but the 3,200-lb weight they were saddled with. Both problems have been fixed in this lightened, stiffened, turbocharged wagon that redefines what a daily driver vehicle should offer.
