A 1994 Volvo 850 Turbo station wagon, found in a Colorado Springs junkyard.
Volvo began selling brick-shaped rear-wheel-drive station wagons in the United States with the 145 in the 1968 model year, continuing the tradition with the 200, 700 and 900 series wagons and all the way through the very last 1998 V90s. The benefits of front-wheel-drive proved impossible for those Göteborgers to resist, though, and so the 850 was developed. The 850 sedan first appeared in the United States as a 1993 model, with the wagon version following in 1994.
The base 1994 Volvo 850 wagon for the U.S. market had a 2.4-liter DOHC straight-five rated at 168 horsepower and 162 pound-feet, but this car has the turbocharged version with its 222 horses and 221 pound-feet. This car is a loaded model with power sunroof and other goodies in addition to the slushbox, so its MSRP was $30,985 . This was a bit less than a similarly equipped 960 wagon . The antiquated but reliable 240 wagon had been discontinued the year before, with the 740 wagon getting the axe the year before that).
