Custom 1997 Volvo 850 T5 Wagon Hot Rod, Rat Rod, Mild Custom, Pure Coooooooool on 2040-cars
Goleta, California, United States
This is a Mild Custom 1997 Volvo, nicknamed the "VOLVOLO". New lowering suspension parts from IPDUSA. New Uniroyal Tiger paw tires, the wheels are factory Volvo wheels, but have been professionally powder coated by Permacolor in Carpinteria, Ca. The hood scoop on the car was welded and grafted from a 1964 Thunderbird, the scoop is non-functional, but gives the car an attitude. The side panels and the side of the t-bird hood scoop have been riveted, again for a Hot Rod, Mild Custom, Attitude theme. The car runs and drives, transmission shifts smoothly, the brakes work great, the moon roof works fine, the power seats, windows, and locks all work... this is a car you can buy, fly in to Santa Barbara, ca. and drive home. This is not my daily driver, you'll see in the photo, I have many vehicles, but this car gets it's legs stretched once a week. The title is a clear title, currently registered in my name with current tags and California vanity plates "VOLVO LO". The car is insured. The interior is leather and some of the usual cracks in the passenger seat, but the driver seat will need some attention. I could have put seat covers on them or a blanket, or not shown them in the photos, but I want you to see a true representation of the car that I am selling. The battery is new... in the last couple of months. No issues starting or driving the car. The true mileage of the vehicle is unknown, the speedometer works fine, but the odometer does not work. This vehicle is sold as-is with no guarantees or warranties, expressed or implied. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 48 hours of the winning bid. Ask your questions, make your bids, and congratulations to the person who snaps this sweet ride up. Good Luck!!!

Volvo will replace C70... eventually
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Volvo has already announced the end of production for its C70 hardtop convertible, a handsome but seriously dated offering that was last refreshed in 2010. Volvo won't be abandoning the two-door coupe-convertible market for long, though, as news out of Australia claims that a replacement, based on the striking Concept Coupe, will join the Chinese-owned, Swedish brand's ranks, although it's unclear precisely when we'll see it on the road.
"Eventually yes... as soon as possible," Hakan Samuelsson, Volvo's CEO, told the Drive, before adding, "when we are ready."
"The Coupe Concept car, we can put that into production and it will have an exposure on the brand. But at the end it's the cream on the cake and at the end you need the cake first before you put the cream on it," said Volvo's Senior Vice President of Product Strategy and Vehicle Line Management, Lex Kerssemakers.
2015 Volvo XC90 is the Swedish future
Tue, 26 Aug 2014It's been months since the Concept XC Coupe debuted at the Detroit Auto Show, Volvo's last show car previewing its all-new 2015 XC90. But the production model is finally here after years of development, and it signals the future of the Swedish automaker with its Scalable Product Architecture modular platform and cutting-edge new engine family.
The 2015 XC90 carries all-new styling, but is still familiar up front, with the company's logo slashing diagonally through its prominent, upright grille. Like the concept, it carries T-Shaped LED running lights through the headlights. The company calls them the "Thor's Hammer" design, an evocative designation that we think is fantastic. Under that new front end is a choice of two quite powerful, but very efficient powertrains. The standard XC90 gets a 2.0-liter turbocharged and supercharged engine with all-wheel drive making an impressive 316 horsepower. Or if buyers want to be a little greener and more powerful, there is the XC90 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid with the same engine, albeit augmented with an electric motor to produce a staggering 400 hp.
The exterior styling is crisp, if not quite as sensual as Volvo's latest concepts, but we think the interior is the real star here, with a dashboard that looks like it came out of a Herman Miller catalog and a unique vertically oriented infotainment screen integrated into its center stack, perhaps taking a cue from Tesla. If the cabin feels as good as it looks, we think a lot of sales are going to be won inside.
Future Polestar Volvo models could feature diesel, EV tech
Tue, 20 May 2014Volvo's Polestar sub-brand has made the transition nicely from being the company's racing arm to building some seriously cool, Swedish cars. Now that it has a few models under its belt, it plans to grow larger and greener. The next-generation of Polestar-tuned vehicles are rumored to include high-performance hybrid and diesel powertrains.
While it still doesn't have the brand recognition of BMW M or Mercedes-Benz AMG, Polestar is on the growth path. It's representatives recently told Autoblog that its latest, tuned S60 and V60 models "mark the start of an extended production car model range." In addition to that expansion, Volvo has given its performance division a greater responsibility for engineering future vehicles, according to Autocar. It even helped develop the new Drive-E engine, which we quite liked when we took it for a spin in an S60.
Polestar's boss hinted at a hybrid model to Autocar, a move that seems obvious once you think about it. The Drive-E engine was designed from the beginning to accept hybrid layouts. The division's plan is to put and electric motor on the rear axle to both increase torque off the line and provide all-wheel drive. As Drive-E also offers diesel variants, that is in the cards as well for the future, but the company didn't go into much detail. Polestar appears to be the upcoming shooting star of the performance car world.
