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!

Volvo fires up S60 and V60 Polestar production
Mon, 30 Jun 2014We were pretty smitten with the Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar models during our First Drive in Sweden a few months ago. We especially loved the way that its Öhlins adjustable dampers offered a perfect balance between suppleness and sporty handling. Now, the rest of the world will finally be getting the chance to take the Polestar models for a spin because Volvo is shipping out the first units of the limited-edition vehicles.
Their completion marks the first time ever that Polestar-tuned models have come off the line at Volvo's Torslanda factory. However, production of the 350-horsepower hatchback and sedan is very limited. Volvo is building a total of just 750 of them for the world market, and the US is only getting 80 wagons and 40 sedans.
In addition to the cutting-edge dampers and more powerful engine, both Polestar models benefit from a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system routed through a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters and launch control. Six-piston Brembo calipers bring things to a halt, and the limited models get unique front and rear fascias and 20-inch wheels. These are two very hot Swedes, and if rumors are right, then there are even more tuned Volvos from Polestar on the way. Scroll down to read the full announcement.
Volvo confirms unnamed US model reveal for NY show
Thu, 21 Mar 2013Tucked into the press release for the "display debut" of the Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid at the New York Auto Show, Volvo snuck in a single line announcing that it will also be introducing a new model for the North American market. As much as we'd love to see the svelte V40 on American roads, we're pretty sure the automaker is looking to fill its US station wagon void with the V60.
The 2014 Volvo V60 is part of a comprehensive lineup update that was unveiled earlier this month in Geneva, and it would give Volvo dealers a conventional wagon (not including the XC70) for the first time since the V70 and V50 were killed off. We'll still be keeping our fingers crossed for the stylish V40 hatchback or the fuel-efficient V60 diesel hybrid, but we have to wait until next week to find out for sure.
2015.5 Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar [w/video]
Thu, 01 May 2014Polestar Performance has been around since 1996, but until recently, it only did two things: manage Volvo motorsports operations and run a specialist consumer-facing side that built concept cars and boosted Volvo's turbocharged production cars by 15 to 60 horsepower. Five years ago, it fulfilled its long-held desire to engineer an actual production car, first creating the C30 Polestar Performance Concept, a showcar that led to the C30 Polestar Limited Edition.
That foray led to the berserker, 508-horsepower 2013 S60 Polestar Concept that Auto Motor und Sport called "a hard slap in the face to the Germans," and that model led to the limited-edition S60 Polestar production car just for Australia, a car reviewers swooned for, with one comparing its chassis finesse to the Ferrari 458 Italia.
All of which is to say, Polestar has a good start for a motorsports and tuning company to make good on its production car dreams. The 2015 Volvo S60 Polestar and V60 Polestar keep that momentum going, and beautifully at that.
