Almost as good for sailing off to Valhalla as a flaming longship...

...it's a 1978 200-series Volvo HEARSE!

From the owner Robert, in Gothenburg:

Have you ever seen a Volvo 245 Hearse? No? That's because they are very rare! Even here in Sweden, there are almost none left, but I am the proud owner of one of the very last ones, which I am hereby presenting to you! This is a 1978 Volvo 245 Hearse. It was used by a funeral home until 2001, then they decided to fix up the car, so they spent about 6000 dollars repairing rust, giving the car a complete paintjob, and changing the exhaust, radiator and a few other things. After they were done, they decided they were not going to use the car after all, so it has been sitting in a garage for the past four years!

That's right--it's FOR SALE! With a Buy it Now price of only $1,499! Snap it up while you can, folks!

I imagine the photos won't be left up long, so I copied a few for posterity.

Here's the front 3/4 view:

And the lovely and restful interior/Ikea showroom:





Quite a find for when it's time to join the choir eternal, I must say. (Although I think it might be more accurate to call it a 243.)
