1984 Volvo 240 Turbo Wagon With Many Aftermarket Parts, For Parts on 2040-cars
Milton, Wisconsin, United States
The ideal person to buy this car is someone who is starting from scratch at modifying a Volvo 240, who has a decent body and engine and needs all the upgrades. And a little space to store this car while they take parts off. And a little time on their hands to do all that.
The car has been sitting for about seven years. It drove itself to where it's been parked since, overheating in the process. Best to not expect to start this engine and bring it back from the dead. The parts: IPD: Front and rear Sway Bars (25mm both; rear installed, front not installed) 245 Lowering springs (Front installed; rear not installed) Early adjustable camshaft gear (loosen bolts and infinitely adjustable) Upper 242GT strut tower-to-firewall braces Lower subframe stressbars (never installed) Steve Buscina strut tower brace in red/black powdercoat GTS brand headlight covers Custom 2.5" stainless turbo-back exhaust system with Catalytic convertor and muffler. Side exit ahead of passenger rear wheel (exhaust tip needs to be bent after curb strike, or whatever happened) "K" cam installed B23 intake manifold Full Volvo Intercooler setup from early 740 Turbo, including compressor bypass valve. Koni Special ("reds", adjustable) struts and rear shocks (I can't say enough good things about these shocks - loved 'em even better than Bilstein and Koni Sports I've had!) Original strut inserts to come with car (FWIW) Full complement of original Turbo gauges, plus the most excellent outside thermometer. Black leather front seat headrest pads Cruise control All the various chassis bits (tie rods, balljoints, brakes with PBR pads, etc) were in excellent condition when it was last out. Some of those things should still be good. Not sure about he hydraulics. There's a host of related parts that I could maybe dig out, depending on your interest. These include a full set of SuperPro poly bushings that were never installed, the original "T" turbo camshaft, an "A" cam, not sure what else. If you're really interested and are nice to me, I might consider letting go my R-sport steering wheel and adapter and the rare-as-heck dashtop gauge cluster (goes where the dashtop speaker usually is) for additional $$. I'm keeping the Turbo rims - car will come with set of random wheels to roll on. I might be able to assist with delivery of this vehicle - but it would be best to trailer it (I don't own a full trailer). Contact me before bidding if you're interested in anything other than picking it up yourself. |

Volvo details new drive assist features for next XC90 and future models [w/video]
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Volvo wants us to know what kinds of new technology will be under the sheetmetal of the offerings that will sit on its Scalable Platform Architecture, the first of which will be included on the 2015 Volvo XC90 arriving at the end of next year. The silicon-chip onslaught starts with detection and auto braking for vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and large animals. The company's animal detection tech now works at night thanks to better cameras and exposure controls.
Also due for the high-riding wagon are road edge and barrier detection with steer assist, a setup that identifies the edge of the road - even ones without markings. The system can steer the car back into its lane if it detects the driver is about to leave the road or collide with a barrier. Adaptive cruise control with steer assist allows the car to not only follow the flow of traffic on a straight road, but steer itself automatically.
Beyond that, the company is planning on other safety advances, but these will rely on automaker cooperation and infrastructure upgrades. Volvo has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Car 2 Car Communication Consortium on the subject of standards for communication between cars and wants to have it implemented by 2016. Sensors in traffic lights will enable Green Light Optimum Speed Advisory, which tells a driver how fast to go on a give stretch of road so as not to hit a red light. Weather, road condition, road works and emergency vehicle warnings will also inform drivers of new developments on the road. And autonomous parking, which Volvo has already demonstrated, stands to put a lot of valets out of work since it allows the car to find its own parking space without a driver inside.
Volvo opens order books for XC90 First Edition
Wed, 03 Sep 2014The new Volvo XC90 breaks new ground in any number of ways. It's based on a new modular platform, packs new engines, introduces a new design language and incorporates a whole slew of new safety systems. Even in its sales approach, it takes Volvo into new territory.
In what Volvo calls an industry first, the first 1,927 examples of the new XC90 will be sold online. Those First Edition models, whose production numbers honor the year of the company's founding, will come fully equipped in T6 AWD guise with the twin-charged (but not hybrid) 316-horsepower engine, air suspension, Bowers & Wilkins audio system and 21-inch Inscription alloys, decked out in black with a tan Nappa leather interior, all for $65,900.
As you can see from the online store, ordering has officially begun. Get one while they're hot.
Volvo agrees to transfer tech to new parent Geely
Tue, 11 Dec 2012Following the acquisition of Volvo by China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group in 2010, we definitely saw this news coming. The two companies have signed an agreement that will give Chinese automaker Geely access to key technologies developed by Volvo, and in turn, the deal could help the Swedish automaker lower its production costs.
As a part of the "technological cooperation agreements" signed by both companies, Automotive News China reports that Geely will be able to tap Volvo for three much-needed technologies, including the use of a midsize platform, Volvo's proven safety innovations and interior air quality systems. The latter two technologies are important to improve the crashworthiness of Geely's cars, along with helping isolate vehicle occupants from China's often severe air pollution. The report says that Volvo tech will likely be used on a premium car brand that Geely is expected to create.
Volvo, on the other hand, is to benefit from the "local market exploration experience and cost control experience" of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, which is technical way of saying that Volvo will be able reduce its costs by tapping into Geely's established supply chain.
