It's 4wd with an actual locking center diff (not FWD or AWD).
I always wanted once since I was a kid and saw one in the junkyard. It
was my car but my wife didn't like it so I traded it with my dad for his
Volvo 244 Turbo. He lives in the northern Idaho mountains and uses it to
commute in the winter when there's 2 feet of snow in the road. It drives
like a sports car, but can easily handle 2 feet of snow! I love that
thing, it's straight out of an 80s sci-fi movie with more useless
gadgets than you could possibly imagine! Some of them even work! I
removed the worn out air suspension and replaced it with coils from a
station wagon- so now it has tons of ground clearance, but still a
fairly stiff and body-roll free ride.
Believe it or not, it's 100% rust free and even the paint and interior
are perfect. I bought it from a college student for $300 because it had
a bad clutch cable, and he got in a fender bender and his parents said
he wasn't allowed to drive anymore. The hood and fender were dented, but
my dad found an exact paint match in the junkyard, so it's like new now.

Your dad drives a 22 year old doorstop? Oh yeah, you're in California
so it's probably only half rusted out by now. FWD or AWD?
Mitch.
