1989 Project Car Volvo 740 Sedan Gray Cloth Restoration Parts Movie Runs Drives on 2040-cars
Bellflower, California, United States
Up for NO RESERVE auction is a complete running 1989 Volvo 740. This car was purchased many years ago at a lein sale auction and it has been parked at my Volvo shop for many years. We have used it for training and slow day work so there are some things such as the timing belt that have been replaced over the years. Overall though it has been parked outdoors and looks it; it would make an excellent donor car for a restoration project, a stunt car for a movie shoot, or the basis for a demolition derby machine or even something like that flamethrower car in the movie Bellflower. When you start with a cheap running car like this and let your imagination run wild, ANYTHING is possible! Vehicle comes with old lien sale paperwork so it can be registered, and/or disposed of legally and properly once you've executed your plans for this project car. Even smashed into a 2-ton cube, it's worth a few $$ in the scrap market. I can assist the buyer with obtaining a 1-day moving permit for pickup day. Because the registration is expired and there is no PNO, I don't know how much it would be to register it to drive around, maybe over $1000? You might fall in love with the car and decide to go through the hoops to register and keep it- after 30 years in the car business I've seen it happen time and again. Or you have a 740 from 86-92 that's tired or has been crashed and you need a complete donor car- hooray, here is exactly everything you need for your project! The gray cloth seats are remarkable for the age. Pre-bid inspection is welcome and encouraged before you bid. It's not registered to go driving on the street but we can drive it around the parking lot and even put it up on a hoist if you need, how often does THAT happen on a used car purchase? Once the gavel falls, it is yours as-is, where is; while it is complete it hasn't been driven very far for years so no guarantee it will drive a particular distance. That said, you should be able to drive it home locally okay; but the farther from Los Angeles County you're going, the more moxie and resourcefulness you might need along the way. Payment in full within 7 days. If you have to arrange transportation we can accomodate a pickup all day M-F during business hours, it should go smoothly. Once paid in full I can be a little flexible about time to arrange transport. No-reserve auction, bid to win this running 1989 Volvo 740! |

Volvo confirms V60 Sportswagon engine lineup for US
Fri, 13 Sep 2013
In addition to revamping its entire 2014 lineup, Volvo has already promised us that we'll be getting the V60 wagon early next year, but now the Swedish automaker has confirmed that sexy wagon will go on sale in January. If that's not good enough for you diehard station wagon models, there's even better news: An available R-Design model will be the "fastest and most powerful wagon in Volvo history."
The V60 R-Design will have a turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine under the hood producing 325 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. Other engines available in the wagon will include the company's well-regarded turbo inline-five along with a new turbo inline-four wearing the Drive-E name. Volvo says Drive-E can "offer the opportunity" to add electrification, but there's no word as to whether or not the US will receive a V60 plug-in model. Also not yet released are fuel economy, vehicle specs and pricing. More information about the V60 and its powertrains are available in the official press release posted below.
2015.5 Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar [w/video]
Thu, 01 May 2014Polestar Performance has been around since 1996, but until recently, it only did two things: manage Volvo motorsports operations and run a specialist consumer-facing side that built concept cars and boosted Volvo's turbocharged production cars by 15 to 60 horsepower. Five years ago, it fulfilled its long-held desire to engineer an actual production car, first creating the C30 Polestar Performance Concept, a showcar that led to the C30 Polestar Limited Edition.
That foray led to the berserker, 508-horsepower 2013 S60 Polestar Concept that Auto Motor und Sport called "a hard slap in the face to the Germans," and that model led to the limited-edition S60 Polestar production car just for Australia, a car reviewers swooned for, with one comparing its chassis finesse to the Ferrari 458 Italia.
All of which is to say, Polestar has a good start for a motorsports and tuning company to make good on its production car dreams. The 2015 Volvo S60 Polestar and V60 Polestar keep that momentum going, and beautifully at that.
2015 Volvo Ocean Race XC60 priced from $42,100*
Mon, 10 Nov 2014Every three years, a half dozen or so teams of sailors embark on an epic eight-month, round-the-world sailboat race formerly called the Whitbread Round the World Race and known since 2001 as the Volvo Ocean Race. This year's event started a month ago in Alicante, Spain, and will end next June at the Swedish automaker's hometown of Gothenburg. And to mark the occasion, just as it has in years past, Volvo has launched a special edition of one of its roadgoing models.
The Volvo Ocean Race XC60 was launched this weekend at the Miami Auto Show. Based on the XC60 crossover we know well, the limited edition is distinguished by its Ocean Blue II paintjob, unique 18-inch wheels, a choice of black or light leather interior with orange stitching and a series of special badges inside and out.
Buyers will be able to choose between the T6 Drive-E and T6 AWD models, priced from $42,100 and $43,600 respectively. That represents a $1,200 premium over models on which they're based, on top of which, Volvo has confirmed in correspondence with Autoblog, the usual $925 destination charge applies.
