1978 Volvo 245DL Estate Wagon, 2.0L 4cyl, Cold A/C, New Tires Only 51,000 Actual Miles!! Nicest in Existence!!
Gorgeous ALL ORIGINAL, 2 Owner Volvo in Rare Color Combo
Here is a beautiful 1978 Volvo 245DL Wagon in awesome condition inside and out. This car is very special in
several ways. It is a two female owner car which has always been garaged and well maintained. This low mileage Wagon comes in a beautiful Cherokee Red on red vinyl color scheme which really sets this vehicle off. These cars are few and far in between, especially in this condition. This is your chance to own a truly one of a kind automobile!
The car was bought new on 11-17-78 at Rock Road Motors of St. Louis, MO by Loretta Kelley and traveled only 11,000 miles while in her ownership, and was purchased out of her estate around 2001 by its second owners who retired to Tucson AZ around 2008 and brought Old Red with them. The previous
owner took extensive care of the car and always garaged it over their 13 year love affair with this beauty. This car was her
pride and joy and always received the best care and service at authorized Volvo
shops. Don't miss your chance to own a very clean and solid '78 245DL.
The following is a list of options as
this 245DL is currently equipped:
-Original 2.0L 4CYL Engine
-Optional 4 Speed Automatic Transmission
-Rare Ice Cold A/C
-Optional Roof Rack
-Original Volvo AM/FM Radio
-All 5 Matching Like New Bridgestone Tires
-Original Steel
Wheels
The body on the car is in very good condition and was extremely well
maintained. The paint on the car is finished in striking Cherokee Red and is in
beautiful show condition. The paint is virtually perfect with only a
few small chips as to be expected on a car that is meant to be driven. The car
has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and is solid as a
rock as any well cared for garaged car should be, and has never been in any
accidents. The car is riding on original steel Volvo wheels and chrome trim
rings with like new Bridgestone tires. All chrome trim is gorgeous, glass is all original, and rubber seals are in great shape.
The interior is all original condition all around. The dash is free of any cracks or fading. The rest of the
interior is very nice condition with absolutely no cracks or damage. The supple red seats are all in very good condition and look like they have been
very well preserved
original examples. The carpets are all very nice are not worn or damaged and
appear original. All dials and controls function as they should; all windows
and rear hatch also are fully functional. All lights, gauges switches, and
accessories work as they should. The trunk compartment is very clean and does
have the original jack, the new matching spare tire and wheel which appear to
never have touched the pavement! Also included is the original, complete, set
of tools in bag!
Mechanically, this 245DL runs GREAT! The car starts right up and shifts
smooth as silk. The 2.0L engine is very quick and responsive. It is reliable,
easy to fix, and parts are readily available.The internal fuel pump was recently replaced along with the idle valve, in addition to a fresh radiator a couple years ago. The suspension is very tight and
feels solid even at autobahn speeds above 70mph. The front rotors and brakes have been replaced followed by an alignment. The car was always regularly
serviced and was indicated by the huge pile of receipts. The car just had the A/C
serviced and had a tune-up!
The car also has manuals, service books, tool kit, and original Arizona copper plates!
All in all, this is one of the neatest Volvos that I have had the
privilege of being associated with. It has been professionally maintained and
truly loved by its previous owners. This 245DL is a fantastic car for the
price. This is your chance to get a classic Volvo, which will only go up in
value. The car also has a clean Arizona Title. Any further questions please
call Jon at 480-703-2337. The car is located in Sunny Scottsdale, Arizona.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+. To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year. Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.

Volvo is an automaker committed to vehicle safety, setting an ambitious target for itself: by 2020, the Swedish automaker envisions that no one will be killed or seriously injured in one of its cars. In order to achieve that goal, Volvo has announced a new proving ground designed specifically to test safety solutions. Called AstaZero, the new facility near the company's headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, is the result of a $70 million investment. It will cover some 500 acres, with over 60 acres of pavement, four city blocks and three and a half miles of highway. The Active Safety Test Area (the ASTA in AstaZero) will enable Volvo and its partners (including Scania trucks as well as government bodies and university development programs) to simulate city streets, highways, rural roads, roundabouts, T-junctions and more, combining traffic from cars, pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, buses, trucks and even animals in order to account for all manner of potential hazards. The facility will enable Volvo to test active safety systems and autonomous vehicle operations, and even allow robots to test its prototypes in an adaptive environment that aims to be more flexible than existing proving grounds. Read more about Volvo's commitment to safety in the press release below.
