The 350 is a beautiful car. There aren't that many of them around these days. Plenty of 450SLC's though.
My husband bought me the 350SLC as an anniversary present, and about 12 months later, he bought himself a 350SE. Still nice, but not as nice as mine lol
Also, I love driving the Volvo. She's quick, responsive, reliable and pretty damned tough too. Easy for the kids to learn to drive in, and the added security of having such a tough car around you helps as well. There are that many d#%khead drivers around these days, I like the older (tough) cars rather than the pretty "plastic" ones.
As for parts, they're cheap. We import all of our parts from the US, which usually works out to be at least 3 times cheaper than buying within Australia, even with freight charges, and we get it sooner than buying from local places.
Now, I wonder how a gun rack would look in the back of my 740?!
