 This is a 1992 Volvo 740 that we (Yoshifab) used to develop a LS1/Gen3 V8 conversion kit.  All work was performed about a year ago and the car has only done maybe 1000~1500miles in that time. 

1992 740 wagon

1999 LS1 with 101000 miles on it.  Motor runs smooth and strong.
1999 T56 with the same mileage, shifts into all gears smoother than any other t56 I have driven
Yoshifab Gen 3 V8 mount kit
Custom drive shaft
GM LS7 Clutch/Flywheel (1000 or so miles on it)
C6 exhaust manifolds
LS6 intake manifold
SLP MAF
4" intake pipe/K&N filter
Pro 5.0 Shifter
Custom 3" exhaust (sounds very nice, just enough rumble to let you know its a v8 but nothing crazy)  Nobody even seems to look twice when you roll through a parking lot.)
Yoshifab rear subframe reinforcement kit
G80 locking differential
AC compressor replaced this week
Goodyear tires have about 1000 miles (well lets say 2000 miles after the burnout pic) on them.  Just have the fuzzies worn off.
Accessory belts and pullies are all about 1000 miles old

The beauty of this car is the overall condition.  It is  not perfect but much nicer than your average Volvo of this vintage.  Paint is still in very good shape but a few shopping cart kinda dings.  It has been very well maintained, all the suspension and steering is tight and the breaks work well. The car runs and drives totally normal, my wife has no issue stepping out of her new Corolla and driving this to the store.  It has working ac, good road manners, and a very smooth ride.  The idea is a car that drives like a normal Volvo wagon but with a lot more zip.  It works quite well.  The car was a diesel in a previous life and the CA title still reflects that.  Shipping can be arranged but buyer will be 100% responsible for shipping costs.  Last Volvo I shipped went cross country for around $800

Volvo confirms return of the wagon with V60 headed to US

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

Turns out that promised new production Volvo model for the United States is indeed the V60 wagon, as we had previously predicted. And it's not terribly surprising, as Volvo has a long and storied history of wagon sales in the US, from the old, loveable 240 to the more recent high-performance V70R. And yet the automaker hasn't had a proper non-XC, non-crossover-style wagon in the US since it pulled the V70 away at the end of the 2010 model year.
"The new Volvo V60 is for people who want the handling of a dynamic sports sedan but need the versatility of a wagon," says Volvo, highlighting the reason many of us on the Autoblog team harbor such fondness for wagons in general.
Volvo is currently showing off the R-Design package for its entire model line, including the V60, at the New York Auto Show. We don't know for sure if the V60 will launch with the R-Design package or if it will come at a later date, and we also see no mention of a Polestar edition, though we're hopeful.

2021 Volvo V90 T6 Road Test | The best-kept secret

Mon, Nov 16 2020

Against all odds and sales sense, the 2021 Volvo V90 is still kicking and available to order in the United States. Not only that, but Volvo gave it a mini mid-cycle update this year, altering the styling and adding more tech. It’s still disappointing that Volvo doesnÂ’t keep any V90s in stock at dealers, but it looks like the best way to sell a wagon in this country is to make it order-only like the Mercedes-AMG E 63 S or Audi RS6 Avant. Well, that, or lift it and apply body cladding as in the case of the V90's Cross Country sibling. Dealers do carry those. However, youÂ’ll be glad that you took the time to special order the non-lifted, uncladded V90. It's a design masterpiece; a full-size family vehicle that forces you to look back at it every time you walk away. Volvo hasnÂ’t struck out with a single design over the past few years, and this V90 is surely the brandÂ’s crowning achievement. Proportions, stance, lighting and wheels; all of it is pleasing to the eye. The hugely useful cargo area and big back seat just raise the bar even higher. That a vehicle can be as practical as this one is, handle like a car and still look this good just makes it even more appealing. This Volvo goes from point A to point B like a member of the Swedish royal family sweeping across a crowded ballroom centuries ago. Poised and elegant, the V90 silently wafts down the road riding on a pillowy air suspension. ThereÂ’s no rush. Curious eyes turn to catch a glimpse of something they rarely see. Yet the V90 never demands anybody take notice with extravagant creases or a gaudy grille. It just exists in this glamorous state of purist wagon nirvana. Simplicity tends to breed the most appealing car designs, but labeling the V90 as simplistic would be a misnomer. This Inscription trim V90 is adorned with just the right amount of shiny chrome, highlighting the sharp styling and drawing the eye downward. VolvoÂ’s updates serve to smooth out the front and rear fascias even further, going so far as to delete the rear exhaust outlet in the bumper in favor of an invisible under-car exit. It suits the wagonÂ’s attitude and also serves to prepare our eyes for an electric future. A new and much more intricate rear LED taillight design animates a friendly “hello” from bottom-to-top at the press of the unlock button, or top-to-bottom for “goodbye.” The new 20-inch wheel design completes the picture with a striking bright and dark two-tone finish.

Volvo releases extensive model updates for 2014

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

The 2014 model year is going to see big changes for the Volvo lineup. The biggest news is that the "60 cluster" models (the S60, V60 and XC60) are receiving some substantial updates despite not being all that old, and Volvo is also refreshing the S80, V70 and XC70 models. Of course, the 2014 model year also marks the departure of the C30 and C70 from its lineup, and we still have at least a year to wait until we see the redesigned XC90.
Except for the XC90, all of the 2014 Volvos will be getting noticeable design updates. The S60, V60 and XC60 get more in-depth changes, including a full front facelift. All will use an evolution of the "naughty" design that debuted on the S60. The rear of all three cars get some changes, too, most notably consisting of the reshaped rear fascia with the integrated exhaust outlets. S80, V70 and XC70 will get more minor changes - mostly to bring them in line with the fresher models. The XC70 keeps is rugged plastic cladding, but it gets some stylish wheels with what look like arrowhead accents.
Inside, all of these updated models will new in-car technology such as the Sensus Connected Touch infotainment system and the adaptive digital display with a TFT (thin film transistor) screen. This reconfigurable screen allows the driver to choose between three different themes - Elegance, Eco and Performance - which changes the color and layout of the background. Other new features include heated windshields, Active High Beam Control for the headlights, paddle shifters for a little added driver involvement and IntelliSafe active safety systems (City Safety, Pedestrian Detection and Road Sign Information) The S80, V70 and XC70 will also add heated steering wheels to their respective options sheets, too.
