Up for bid is a fully restored (ground up) Volvo 240 wagon with 15,000 miles since rebuild. I bought this car 4 years ago as a temporary driver but the body was so clean and sound (and my wife fell in love with it) that we decided to build a new car rather than buy one. Regardless what mileage we found when shopping for a 240, they still needed something or we were unsure what had been done and when, by whom, parts brands, etc. Car has a clean South Dakota title - we spend the summers with my inlaws (they are in their 80's) so the car is garage stored in Toledo and only driven when we're here in the summer months. We're shortly losing our storage and are moving ourselves so there is no room for a 3rd car. This is the ONLY reason we are selling this.
Body was stripped to a shell (glass and all) and repainted. A later style (93) rear hatch with flush mount glass, new rear side glass flush seals, new windshield, power windows and power heated mirrors were added. Black turbo body moldings, trims, handles and hinges were also added. Rare snow caps on the cowl vents. New OE Cibie tail lamps and e-code European glass headlamps (with Expel protectant film) were installed. Side markers also added. Tint is 35% front; 15% sides. If for any reason your state does not allow this, I will have it removed before pick up. I do not notice it as being too dark in any way or at any time - reduces glare, cools the interior, keeps things from being sun baked and interior items from being seen. Also included is a new front plate bracket if needed.
Every bushing on the car was replaced with OE Volvo brand (no cheap chi-com garbage). Ipd sways were added. A completely new 2 1/2" exhaust from front to back including a catalytic converter, resonator and muffler was installed. All new brakes, brake lines, calipers and rotors. All new wheel bearings, Boge-Sachs front and rear shocks/struts, upper strut mounts (Volvo OE). Ball joints, tie rod ends, and new steering rack.
The motor is a 1993 B230 that was rebuilt to new specs. A T-cam was added (stock Volvo turbo) for better low end power. Head gasket is a tight squish Cometic which increases the compression ratio and allows for lower octane fuel usage with no adverse side effects. A 93 AW70 transmission was also overhauled and installed. All new mounts and u-joints. Of course all new hoses, belts, timing belt, tensioner, and seals. Both the chassis fuel pump and intank pump are new Bosch. Intank is the larger capacity (turbo) upgrade. The cast boss on the block for an oil return was drilled, tapped and plugged for an easier upgrade to turbo if ever so desired. Fuel injection was upgraded to LH 2.4. Injectors were all new/rebuilds. Battery is 2 yrs old.
Completely new AC system - 1993 style. R134a and is COLD. New condenser, compressor, accumulator, pressure switch, o-rings and hoses. Power steering pump is the later, more efficient style. Alternator is a 100A Bosch unit. Headlamps are H4 styled and wired with relays for the direct (55w) upgrade.
The interior is black cloth from a 1993. The black cloth with the dark blue exterior looks incredible - a combo Volvo never offered. Newer crack free dash. Rubber mats all around. Sony CD/mp3 player with aux jack (for ipod). Boston Acoustic Pro speakers in the front doors with a custom tweeter mount behind the mirror covers. Lighted power window switches (ala 960), a new blower motor, and heater valve. Instrument cluster was completely rebuilt with custom (in a Volvo OE style) gauge faces, and fitted for LEDs. You've never seen a 240 dash light up this good! It reads the mileage from the car's rebuild: 15,000 and counting.
Car sits on Volvo Nova 15" alloys wrapped in 195/65R15 Pirelli P6's with just over 5k on them. Rides and handles like a dream - by far the nicest 240 I have ever seen. We get complements everywhere we go with it.

Euro-market Volvo C40 Recharge and XC40 Recharge add efficiency, range
Wed, Dec 7 2022Volvo's tweaked the powertrain specs for the C40 Recharge and XC40 Recharge in Europe in both front- and all-wheel-drive trims. (We don't get the FWD versions here, only the AWD models.) First reported by CarsUK as a rumor, Autocar dug into the details after the new models hit some EU configurators. The big change there is that the front-drivers are now rear-drivers, engineers moving the single motor to the rear axle in the name of efficiency. The battery in the single-motor cars stays the same size at 67 kWh, but motor output rises from 228 horsepower to 235 hp. Even better, the C40 Recharge goes from an estimated 270 miles on a charge to 296 miles, the XC40 Recharge goes from an estimated 260 miles on a charge to 286 miles on the WLTP cycle. The AWD Recharge Twin trims get a larger battery, swapping the 78-kWh unit (75 kWh usable) for a 82-kWh unit (78 kWh usable). Their motors put out the same combined 402 hp as before, but do so with a rear bias. Instead of each motor making 201 hp, the front motor makes 161 hp, the rear 241 hp. Their ranges climb even more, the C40 gaining 37 miles of range to go an estimated 315 miles on a charge, the XC40 adding 42 miles to go an estimated 311 miles on the WLTP cycle. Volvo also upped the fast charging capability for the Recharge from 150 kW to 200 kW. The upgrade cuts the charge time from 10% to 80% by 10 minutes, to 27 minutes, matching the time required for the single-motor trims with the smaller battery to refill the same amount. The revised models can be ordered in Europe now but won't go into production until next year, the Recharge versions in May, the single-motor versions in autumn. Prices are up about 10%. It's thought the Polestar 2 will be in line for the same changes. We asked Volvo USA about the revisions coming to the U.S., aand spokesperson responded, "We will have more details to share on the U.S. offer at a later date."
2014 Volvo XC60 scooped before launch
Fri, 28 Dec 2012A Chinese automotive site has snagged the first spy shots of the updated Volvo XC60, completely uncovered. While the overall profile of the vehicle remains intact, the headlights are heavily revised. Gone are the two-piece units, which featured the separate light strip between the main cluster and the grille. In place now are larger lenses, somewhat reminiscent of those found on the S60 sedan. Also updated is the grille, which gets a little wider to meet the new headlights. The grille receives more chrome, while the lower front fascia has been revised with wider openings. A pair of LED fog lights are pushed way out to the corners.
Out back, the license plate holder gets a bold chrome strip above it, and the recessed exhaust is replaced with chromed, dual exhaust outlets that have been integrated into the bottom of the rear bumper.
Inside, the instrument panel has been revised, with a large, centrally mounted speedo, featuring a digital display in the center. According to reports, this is a similar setup to that of the new V40. As such, it appears that the changes are thoughtful efforts to move the XC60 forward by incorporating the most current Volvo design elements.
Volvo and Ericsson to take Spotify on the road
Thu, 27 Dec 2012Volvo is working to bring Spotify to its vehicles. Ericsson has announced it will provide its Connected Vehicle Cloud service to Volvo for future products, and Spotify streaming music is part of that service. Like Toyota Entune and other infotainment services, the Connected Vehicle Cloud will use the driver's smartphone as a modem to stream music and serve as a base for other applications, all of which will be controllable through the vehicle interface. Expect to see the service launch in 2014, though Ericsson stresses later generations will feature an embedded modem with its own SIM card that will piggyback off of the owner's phone data plan.
But that system won't show up in production vehicles until at least 2016. In the interim, Ericsson says it will continue to work with government agencies on its car-to-car communication efforts. That program could eventually help pave the way toward autonomous road trains capable of helping vehicles travel safely together while also reducing traffic congestion. Wired has a full break down of the Connected Vehicle Cloud strategy. You can read it here.
