 1981 Volvo 245 wagon with 1988 5.0HO automatic from a Lincoln LSC. The car was converted to V8 power about 10 years ago and has been driven over 35,000 miles since conversion. It has the heavy duty trailer hitch. I have been diving the car to and from work (40 miles round trip) it runs and drives well. The good: Bilstein shocks and struts, IPD heavy duty sway bars front and rear, new radiator last November, tires and battery replaced last year, rotors and pads about 2 years ago, custom dual exhaust sounds great. It has a 3.73 rear end and the electronic speedometer from a later model 240. Odometer reading is not the actual miles as the instrument cluster has been replaced during the conversion. Tach and speedometer work, the odometer does not work. The bad: paint is ugly (great patina!), rear wiper not installed, front and rear window washers do not work, dash is cracked, windshield is cracked, there are some rust spots on the car, odometer does not work. Some small holes in the interior, small transmission leak. Did I mention the ugly paint? A/C was working when converted. One of the hoses came loose and the freon leaked out. I have not recharged freon since. The cruise control was not installed after the conversion. The hub caps for the wheels are included with the sale. I have had my fun with this car and am working on a new project. It is time for someone else to enjoy this rat rod. Clear FL title in hand. Ask questions before bidding.

Best luxury SUVs of 2022 and 2023

Mon, Sep 12 2022

Once upon a time, the idea of a luxury SUV meant a Range Rover, and even that was pretty agricultural by modern standards. Then Jeep Grand Cherokees and Ford Explorers started offering fancy, range-topping versions followed soon by Lexus, BMW and Mercedes dipping their toes in the water. And then the floodgates opened. Today, there is a staggering number of luxury SUVs available in every shape, size and price point. There are electric luxury SUVs like the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace, as well as gas-swilling, high-performance SUVs like the BMW X5 M and Cadillac Escalade V. Sports car makers Porsche, Aston Martin and Lamborghini have even dived in.  But of this great many, which are the best luxury SUVs? We sat down, scoured our reviews, took some votes, had some discussions and came up with the luxury SUVs we view as the best. They are listed alphabetically within the six segments listed below.  Best Subcompact Luxury SUV   |   Best Compact Luxury SUV   |   Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Two-Row) Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Three-Row)   |   Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Two-Row)   |   Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Three-Row)  Best subcompact luxury SUVs Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class Why it stands out: Outstanding space and versatility; legit luxury interior; amusing GLB 35 versionCould be better: Overwhelming and confusing tech interface Most subcompact luxury SUVs are a dubious value, with cramped interiors of marginal quality and unrefined driving dynamics. You'd be much better off paying less money for a loaded, non-luxury compact SUV. The Mercedes GLB is different, though. Its boxy design provides space few other subcompact SUV can match (luxury or otherwise), while its cabin design and feature content are in keeping with pricier Mercedes models. The quality's not exactly up to GLC standards, nor is driving refinement, but the difference is appropriate for how much you're saving and still perfectly acceptable. There's nothing dubious about buying a GLB.     Volvo XC40 Why it stands out: More features for the money; spacious and versatile interior; distinctive design; electric versionCould be better: Fuel-efficient base engine only available with FWD Most subcompact luxury models feel a bit like cheap knockoffs of their bigger, pricier brand mates. The XC40, by contrast, is a break from the Volvo norm in a good way.
