1984 Volvo 240 One Owner Clean, 102k, Rust Free, Manual Trans, Immaculate No Res on 2040-cars
Rio Rancho, New Mexico, United States
NO RESERVE
Selling a 1-owner IMMACULATE, low mileage Volvo 240 4 door. I have owned 10 Volvo 240s of all years, and this one is the cleanest and best condition I've come across. This car is a gem, and comes loaded with many dealer features. Here are the features and details of this safe brick of a car: Garage kept, see pictures to notice the cleanliness of the interior, dashboard and carpets. Owned and loved by a responsible adult Volvo enthusiast, purchased and driven in New Mexico its whole life. Time to sell and drive the S80 instead ;-) Serviced at IVS (formerly Independent Volvo). Could try to get records of work done there over the years on request. 102,026 miles, manual transmission, 4 cylinder, religiously maintained, loaded, strong engine (if you don't know the history and reliability of the Redblock engine, they easily go for several hundreds of thousands of miles. Look it up). I have a copy of the original title from 1984. Power locks, all light bulbs work, radio (comes with a spare in the trunk), awesome heater, defroster, wipers, oil pressure gauge, oil temperature gauge, ambient air temperature gauge, clock, voltage gauge. Clutch is great, tires are Michelin and great, but show some aging, shocks are great, brakes are amazing (Go Volvo!) comes with spare full size tire and tool kit and jack, NO RUST, no body damage, new wiring harness (old harnesses (pre 1988) were made with biodegradable insulation which withered within 2 decades, see pictures) runs great! Seats are in great shape, a little faded but no rips or tears in stitching, all of the rubber on the car is pliable and not sun-dried, which is also amazing. The doors open and close like a brand new car (again, I have owned many 240s and can compare), battery is good and recently changed. The bad: Air conditioning could use a charge, the good news is that it has a special UV dye installed in the system to detect leaks Overdrive button not working (common and easy fix. Look it up) Must see to appreciate. Very great, smooth, reliable and SAFE car. Clean title. Call or text David at 505-417-0588 for questions and, if you're in Albuquerque, see and test drive. |

Tesla poaches Volvo interior engineering boss Anders Bell
Tue, Dec 20 2016Tesla is the belle of both the eco-friendly and luxury balls. The company's Model S and Model X are status symbols, and benchmarks for the ability to blend both green credentials with performance and a luxury driving experience. That said, their cabins aren't necessarily deserving of those credentials. That's why this little news nugget is such a big deal for the California brand. Electrek reports that Tesla has poached Anders Bell from Volvo. Bell confirmed the move via his LinkedIn page. The (now former) head of interior engineering and senior director of engineering was responsible for the Swedish brand's raft of high-quality, beautifully crafted cabins. Doubtless Tesla wants a piece of the critical acclaim Volvo's received for the interior design and quality on its 90-series models – XC90, S90, and V90. The move is, at least based on Electrek's stalking of Bell's LinkedIn profile, a big loss for Volvo. Bell joined the Swedish brand fresh out of Halmstad College's engineering program in 1998 and has spent his entire career working for Gothenburg and its various owners. That included a nearly four-year stint in China after Geely bought Volvo from Ford, assisting with the Chinese launch of the XC60. Bell's listed his final project with his previous employer as "development, design, and release of Volvo interiors to be launched 2017-2018 and concept definitions of interiors 2019 and beyond." That means that while Bell started at Palo Alto this month, his impact at Volvo won't fade for several more years.

Turn up your speakers for this Shelby-powered Sunbeam Tiger and friends
Wed, 18 Jun 2014Most of us are never going to be like Jay Leno and drive a new car every day. However, it's possibly affordable to collect a handful of vintage rides, especially if you look a touch off the beaten path. In recent video, Petrolicious highlights Hans Abrahams, who is doing just that. He has three 1960s, European classics that love to be driven.
The absolute star of the trio is a 1966 Sunbeam Tiger. In the cabin, it has the meaty growl of a muscle car, but outside it has a little of the raspiness of period European cars. Abrahams says its mostly original except for its Ford 289-cubic-inch (4.7-liter) V8 with Shelby parts, producing around 273 horsepower. He says it's a bit difficult to maintain and hard to keep cool, but when you hear it, you know the trouble is worth it.
Next up, is Abrahams' 1965 MGB that is a bit of a monster in its own right. It lacks the Tiger's oomph under the hood, but it's loud enough to blow out Petrolicious' microphone. It's still a very cool little roadster.
Defying Trump, major automakers finalize California emissions deal
Tue, Aug 18 2020WASHINGTON — The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and major automakers on Monday confirmed they had finalized binding agreements to cut vehicle emissions in the state, defying the Trump administration's push for weaker curbs on tailpipe pollution. The agreements with carmakers Ford Motor Co, Volkswagen AG, Honda Motor Co and BMW AG were first announced in July 2019 as voluntary measures prompting anger from U.S. President Donald Trump. A month later, the Justice Department opened an antitrust probe into the agreements. The government ended the investigation without action. The Trump administration in March finalized a rollback of U.S. vehicle emissions standards to require 1.5% annual increases in efficiency through 2026. That is far weaker than the 5% annual increases in the discarded rules adopted under President Barack Obama. The 50-page California agreements, which extend through 2026, are less onerous than the standards finalized by the Obama administration but tougher than the Trump administration standards. The automakers have also agreed to electric vehicle commitments. Volvo Cars, owned by China's Geely Holdings, said in March it planned to join the automakers agreeing to the California requirements. It has also finalized its agreement. The settlement agreements say California and automakers agreed to resolve "potential legal disputes concerning the authority of CARB" and other states that have adopted California's standards. In May, a group of 23 U.S. states led by California and some major cities, challenged the Trump vehicle emissions rule. Other major automakers like General Motors Co, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV and Toyota Motor Corp did not join the California agreement. Those companies also sided with the Trump administration in a separate lawsuit over whether the federal government can strip California of the right to set zero emission vehicle requirements. Ford said the "final agreement will reduce emissions in our vehicles at a more stringent rate, support and incentivize the production of electrified products, and create regulatory certainty." BMW said "by setting these long-term, predictable, and achievable standards, we have the regulatory certainty that is necessary for long-term planning that will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but ultimately benefit consumers as well."Â
