Selling an excellent specimen garage find 1978 Volvo 242 DL.  Amityville Volvo Car originally.  90,000 Original miles. Last registered in 1990.  I changed all the bulbs in dash and got the gauges working when I got the car last fall, replaced driveshaft bushing and bearing. Installed new fuel injectors. Rebuilt fuel distributor.  New intake gasket.  Engine has good compression and was running and driving last fall, but K-jet injection  system is funky.  It has a tank of clean fuel after fuel flush with new fuel pump, and filter.  Starter is good, as is clutch. Tires are old but have tons of tread, minor dry rot, as it was stored in a garage in NYC.  Interior is overall in excellent condition without sunfade or typical cracked dash, but could use a deep clean.  I have all 4 center-hubcaps, original spare and tool kit. Comes with regular original gas cap, and Volvo locking cap.  Car is a manual 4 speed transmission and manual windows. Has awesome vintage WORKING tape deck radio (not volvo original).    Easiest solution for the fuel issues is a LH conversion, Volvo guys know what I'm talking about.  A long day and $150 and it's reliable, I just have too many projects.  Call with questions or to come check it out. (908)3345710.  This is a no reserve auction, Winning bidder wins.  I reserve the right to sell the vehicle locally, or cancel a bid because of low or no feedback.. Thanks!

2015 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E

Wed, 23 Apr 2014

For those not paying attention, Volvo has updated its S60 sedan range for 2015 with a new range of engines under the Drive-E label. Wearing the same T5 and T6 badges to note the relative levels of power under the hood, both engines are 2.0-liter four-cylinders, with the lesser being turbocharged and the greater being both supercharged and turbocharged.
Both Drive-E variants are currently only available in front-wheel-drive flavor, though Volvo will still happily sell you an S60 T5 AWD with the older 2.5-liter turbo five-cylinder, or a top-of-the-line S60 T6 with a turbo'd 3.0-liter six-cylinder and all the wheels turning.
The car I drove for a week is perhaps the most balanced version of the S60 range, with that exotic sounding twin-charged 2.0-liter mill planted happily in the attractively sloping nose. Provided you're not hung up on front-drive dynamics, the T6 Drive-E might be a solid candidate for your next premium small sedan shopping list, as well.

Volvo launches XC90 configurator site

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

In many ways the 2016 Volvo XC90 defines the future of the Swedish brand. The SUV is the introduction of the company's Scalable Product Architecture modular platform that should underpin most of its future models. It's also the first big chance to see whether consumers accept a model like this that's only available with four-cylinder power, granted a mill that is both turbocharged and supercharged. The configurator for this Swedish hopeful is just hitting the Web giving customers a chance to see what they think.
The only available powertrain on the XC90 at the moment is the 2.0-liter Drive-E with 316 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The base price starts at $48,900, plus $925 for destination, but that number can balloon quite quickly. Upgrading to the R-Design package tacks on $4,000 or the even plusher Inscription package adds $5,600.
Furthermore, there are several option packages to add some extra tech and comfort to the SUV. The Vision Package with a backup cam is an extra $1,600, two versions of the Climate package to keep occupants warm come to $1,050 and $1,950, respectively, and the Convenience Package that includes adaptive cruise control adds $2,000. Depending on trim, there are up to 13 colors available in an attractive variety, although all but two add $550 to the price. There are also a wide variety of leather upholsteries to choose from.
