1979 Volvo 244GL 2.1 It's been a long time off eBay for me but I am back with a beautiful classic Volvo that I just got in. I just took it out for a wash and a quick shoot and here is what we have. Mainly original paint with some fading on rood and trunk lid. Excellent patina for those looking for a cool, solid driver. Interior door trays are cracked from age. The odd minor rust and it has one bigger spot by lower driver side windshield. This is NOT a rust bucket by any means. It was driven and has some of the usual small, small spots but very, very clean and original for the year. Runs and drives great. A blast to drive! Everything appears to be working. The interior or neat and tidy, the seats show some wear but not all ripped or anything. Driver seat has a different head rest. The carpets are nice and the dash is in great shape. Heat works excellent! Has a decent JVC tape deck and sound (what else you need?). The tires have lots of tread left, the alloys are original and correct. The engine bay is clean and original and you can see that this car has been heavily undercoated in the past. The trunk is nice, clean and complete with spare and tools. I have all the original keys including some extras. No books. car runs great and handles like the brick it is. Very solid and no funny noises or loose front end. If you pay and set up a local mechanic to look over this Volvo I will gladly agree. This old classic Volvo is ready to go for someone looking for a nice driver with some patina. Not perfect by any means but a very nice complete, and original example! I have special dealer shipping rates. Email, call or text me if you want a shipping quote.

Volvo calls in S60 T5 over oil pressure indicator
Mon, 30 Dec 2013As anyone with a driver's license should be able to tell you, the oil pressure indicator on a car is a vital feature. If you don't have enough oil pressure, your engine could seize up, leaving you stranded and causing catastrophic damage for both your automobile and your wallet. Worryingly, then, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that the oil pressure indicator lamp on certain Volvo S60 models is prone to failure, prompting the manufacturer to issue a recall.
The issue pertains to MY2011-2012 Volvo S60s with turbocharged five-cylinder engines manufactured between June 22, 2010 and May 14, 2012. All told, precisely 30,929 units are affected by the recall campaign. The owners of affected models will be notified by Volvo to bring in their cars to their local dealer for a software update. See the official notice below for details.
Volvo agrees to transfer tech to new parent Geely
Tue, 11 Dec 2012Following the acquisition of Volvo by China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group in 2010, we definitely saw this news coming. The two companies have signed an agreement that will give Chinese automaker Geely access to key technologies developed by Volvo, and in turn, the deal could help the Swedish automaker lower its production costs.
As a part of the "technological cooperation agreements" signed by both companies, Automotive News China reports that Geely will be able to tap Volvo for three much-needed technologies, including the use of a midsize platform, Volvo's proven safety innovations and interior air quality systems. The latter two technologies are important to improve the crashworthiness of Geely's cars, along with helping isolate vehicle occupants from China's often severe air pollution. The report says that Volvo tech will likely be used on a premium car brand that Geely is expected to create.
Volvo, on the other hand, is to benefit from the "local market exploration experience and cost control experience" of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, which is technical way of saying that Volvo will be able reduce its costs by tapping into Geely's established supply chain.
Volvo recommits to Sweden with development of next-gen platform and engines
Tue, 04 Dec 2012Taking into account the facts that Volvo is now owned by China's Geely and how poorly the European automotive market has been recently, we would have definitely understood if Volvo moved production of its products out of its home market. And yet, the automaker has confirmed that it will be investing billions of dollars into new platforms and engines that will be made in Sweden. On a global scale, Volvo is making roughly $11 billion of investments, and close to half of that is being earmarked for Sweden for plant expansion and upgrades.
The new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform will be the used as the basis for most future Volvo products starting with the next-generation XC90 that will be debuting at the end of 2014. SPA will be used to make up two-thirds of Volvo's sales, and gives Volvo a quicker and easier break from Ford-derived platforms. As for the Volvo Engine Architecture (VEA) family of engines, there are really no details about this mill except that it will be a four-cylinder that is more fuel efficient than current engines.
