Interesting find : 440 Spaceback
During the late 80's, early 90's ACT, from Zaventem in Belgium, sold a tailgate conversion for the 440.
I can remember my Volvo workshop telling my mom that Volvo would void their warranty if she would get one, so I guess that not too many got sold let alone would have survived. Besides the occasional photo on the internet, I can remember only ever seen 2, one of which is owned by a friend but is missing all of the interior upholstery, so I was greatly surprised to find a wrecked 440 in a scrapyard with a complete spaceback. Amazingly it was still "complete", incl the upholstery, and it even has the optional windscreen wiper, which I've never seen before! The only two bits missing are the cap on the wiper arm and the optional parcel shelf (a cloth 480-like thing). As you can guess from the pics, I'have saved it from the crusher, together with all of the installation bits, even though I do not own a 440.
