I have my 1992 Volvo 240 Wagon up for Auction. Please feel free to ask any questions. There is a low reserve on the car and this car is worth every penny. Okay, a little about my Brick:
1992 Volvo 240 Wagon with just over 320,xxx miles on the odometer (yes, the odometer does work). Does not have any warning lights on the dash (yes, they work as well). Just Passed the Emissions PA Sticker Test, Good Til 4/15. I am a classic Volvo enthusiast and have taken meticulous care of my brick. It originally came with cloth seats in which the bottom cushions where really worn out, so I replaced the seats with tan leather seats from a 1990 240. Some of the Maintenance and work that has been on this car is: Normal Maintenance: Every 3 Months Changed Oil with Pennzoil Platinum, Check Flame Trap and Replace (if needed). Brake Pads Replaced Every 6 Months with PBR Brake Pads and new hardware from IpdUSA. This Spring: Replaced Hood Hinge and Alternator (Reconditioned Bosch). Last summer: Replaced Timing Belt, Head Gasket, Water Pump, Belts, K&N Air Filter, Spark Plugs, Distributor Cap/Rotor, Plug Wires and Drive shaft support bearing. Last Spring: Replaced Tires and redid front-end (Struts, Rear Shocks, Ball Joints, Inner/Outer Tie Rods, Driver Side A-Arm, Sway Bar End Links and Bushings - Polyurethane, and replaced all the other bushings as well but with rubber.) Also Got it Aligned. Last Winter: Replaced Catalytic Converter and O2 Sensor (Bosch OEM Fit). I have records from the previous owners as well, which included replacing the Transmission with a reconditioned transmission from a volvo 740 turbo, so it has a little more get up than a regular 240. Condition of the car: Engine - When I had the head off last summer, it did not have a single wear ring or mark. Engine Does NOT LEAK! Runs very smooth and has never let me down. It does need a new motor mount soon though. Transmission - Shifts very smooth and Natural. Has No Issues In Any Gear, Including Overdrive. Body - Paint is very glossy and shiny. No issues what-so-ever with peeling or overcoat issues. Saying that, there is some surface rust spots on the hood and tailgate. Nothing too major. Exhaust - Gaskets have all been replaced lately, cat was replaced last winter and IS VERY QUITE Tires - Over 85% of life left. Good to go! Brakes - About 50-60% life left in this set of pads. Lights - All Work, occasionally going over railroad tracks a bulb would get jarred lose, but that is the only issue I have had. Interior - Tan Leather Seats, Rear Facing 3rd Row of Seats In Back, Back Hatch Area is Tinted, Clean Extra's - Comes with spare tire and volvo tool bag...plus service records. Negatives: Will Need Motor Mount Eventually, Back Side Was Bumped Into By Semi Truck but I painted over it and it is good to go (See picture), Driver side door trim came off this winter but I still have it, Rear Window Wiper Does Not Work, Has Tape Player That Doesn't Work...Speakers Do Work Though. This car will get you from point A to B, and in style. Very Reliable and Extremely Safe for Families or Young Drivers (No Blind Spots in this Car!). The only reason why I am selling it is because I have 3 classic volvos and can only drive one. I would love this to go another Volvo-Crazy Family. I have a Buy-It Now for $2500 (It is worth every penny of that price) also have a low reserve. I am not a dealer, therefore I will not place a warranty on this car. I can say that it is driven on a daily basis and does not let me down. Thanks! On Apr-17-14 at 06:17:10 PDT, seller added the following information: I have my 1992 Volvo 240 Wagon up for Auction.

Volvo, Daimler, Traton join forces to build electric truck charging network
Tue, Jul 6 2021Volvo Group, Daimler Truck and Volkswagen's AG heavy-truck business the Traton Group announced on Monday a non-binding agreement to build a network of high-performance public charging stations for electric heavy-duty long-haul trucks and buses around Europe. The news was first reported by Reuters. The three major European automakers will invest ˆ500 million (~$593 million USD) to install and operate 1,700 charging points in strategic locations and close to highways. They intend to finalize the agreement by the end of this year and start operations next year, with the hopes of increasing the number of charge points significantly as the companies seek additional partners for the future joint venture. The venture is meant to be a catalyst to prepare for the European Union's goals of carbon-neutral freight transportation by 2050. One of the main deterrents for both individuals and freight companies for switching to EVs has historically been a lack of charging infrastructure. By building that infrastructure, Volvo, Daimler and Traton can also expect to boost their own sales of electric trucks and buses. “It is the joint aim of EuropeÂ’s truck manufacturers to achieve climate neutrality by 2050," Martin Daum, CEO Daimler Truck, said in a statement. "However, it is vital that building up the right infrastructure goes hand in hand with putting CO2-neutral trucks on the road. Together with Volvo Group and the Traton Group, we are therefore very excited to take this pioneering step to establish a high-performance charging network across Europe.” The partnership between Volvo and Daimler isn't unprecedented. In May, the two competitors teamed up to produce hydrogen fuel cells for long-haul trucks to lower development costs and boost production volumes. This latest venture is another signal that major companies are banding together to solve climate-related issues in the industry. European car industry association ACEA has called for up to 50,000 high-performance charging points by 2030. Traton CEO Matthias Gruendler told Reuters that roughly 10 billion euros would be needed to build out Europe's infrastructure to be fully electrified by 2050. According to a statement released by Volvo, this venture is also a call to action for others with a stake in the industry, like automakers or governments, to work together to ensure the rapid expansion needed to reach climate goals.

Autoblog Podcast #317:
Hot rod tractor stars in Swedish version of Farmkhana
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Nordic countries are known for their beautiful fjords, blonde-haired populace and bitter cold for a good portion of the year. The hours spent indoors during the dark, cold season apparently gives a lot of time for some crazy brainstorming. Tire store chain Vianor is highlighting the Traktor Terror in a new video. If Ken Block is the master of Gymkhana, then these guys know all about Farmkhana in their custom, turbocharged tractor.
According to the YouTube description from Vianor, the tractor is a 1956 Volvo BM Terrier with an added roll cage, adjustable front suspension and extended frame. The engine is thoroughly Swedish, and it's based on a Volvo 940 Turbo with a Volvo 240 head and Volvo 740 intercooler. However, it uses a Saab turbo Prospark ignition and fuel system. All told, the setup is claimed to make 225 horsepower and is capable of a top speed of 60 miles per hour.
That's not crazy power, but this tractor can certainly put it down. The farm machine has no problem smoking those big rear wheels and drifts easily.... although, it may be a tiny little bit unstable (hence the roll cage). If nothing else, this looks like the world's most fun way to be a farmer, that's for sure.
