1982 Volvo 245 Dl Turbo Diesel Wagon on 2040-cars
Conroe, Texas, United States
Up for sale is my very own, tastefully modified 1982 volvo 245 DL turbo diesel wagon. The turbo is a garrett GT32 with a fresh rebuild and an upgraded 360 degree thrust washer (supports higher boost) It has a legit safety inspection which meant the turning crank works, pelvic straps are in good shape, blinkies and flashers all burn, brakes mostly work as long as the engine is on, The overdrive has been rewired to work 75% of the time, instead of the usual 10%. The front driver seat was reupholstered about 10 years ago, I just replaced the front tires due to the belt separating from the sidewall. Power windows work except for the front passenger side due to blood getting into the motor and brushes from the accident. Power locks work, and I have the original set of keys for the ignition and locks.
Boost will reach about 20psi before settling off, it can goto 40, but the couplers explode. Once those are upgraded to silicone, it will really fly! serious offers only! Will issue a bill of sale only. UPDATE: I shot a video detailing the details in more detail. I want to built a similar vehicle, working ac, powered by an LBZ duramax or OM606 Mercedes engine with a shortened ford 9" diff.... BUY MY VOLVO SO I CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN! Winning bid will have their momento permanently affixed to the new build in your memory. Because without your help, it never would have happened. THANKS! |

Ford, Volvo join Redwood in EV battery recycling push in California
Mon, Feb 21 2022Ford and Volvo will join battery recycling startup Redwood Materials in developing processes, starting in California, to collect end-of-life batteries from electric and hybrid vehicles and recover the materials for use in new batteries, the companies said Thursday. Redwood Materials, co-founded by former Tesla executive JB Straubel, formed an earlier partnership last fall with Ford to develop a “closed loop” or circular supply chain for electric vehicle (EV) batteries, from raw materials to recycling. On Thursday, Redwood Materials said it would work directly with dealers and dismantlers in California to identify and recover end-of-life battery packs. The materials in those packs will be recovered and recycled at Redwood Materials facilities in northern Nevada. U.S. automakers Ford and General Motors Co (GM) have said the battery recycling effort is crucial in efforts to develop a domestic supply chain to meet increasing EV demand. GM and battery partner LG Energy Solution last year announced a partnership with startup Li-Cycle to recycle battery scrap material from Ultium Cells, the GM-LG joint venture that is building battery plants in Ohio, Tennessee and Michigan. Redwood Materials has similar partnerships with battery makers Panasonic in Nevada and Envision AESC in Tennessee, as well as with Amazon. Ford and Amazon are among the investors in Redwood Materials. Reporting by Paul Lienert in Detroit; Editing by Mark Potter Green Ford Volvo Green Automakers Electric

Volvo C30 Polestar Concept hits the 'Ring
Mon, 05 Aug 2013It's been over three years since the Volvo C30 Polestar Concept was unveiled, driven by journalists and, as it turns out, lapped around the Nürburgring with Scandinavian Touring Car Championship driver Robert Dahlgren behind the wheel. For whatever reason, the video of the 'Ring track session was only published by the tuning company yesterday. (Another discrepancy: Did Polestar's C30 lose 46 horsepower somewhere along the line? Because the video states that it has 405 hp, while the company's website quotes 451 hp...)
Whatever the case, the tuned Volvo is a beast, much more so than the similar-looking, 250-hp 2013 Volvo C30 Polestar Limited Edition that was sold last year. With 451 hp (sounds better than 405 hp, doesn't it?), all-wheel drive, limited-slip differentials front and rear and Öhlins dampers, the Polestar Concept checks all of the right boxes for us.
For some reason, the video, which you can watch below, seems a bit vanilla to us. Perhaps the overly dramatic music takes away from the action and the beautiful sounds of the turbocharged five-cylinder engine?
