1981 Bone Stock Original Volvo 244 Dl / Always Garaged / Museum Condition!!! on 2040-cars
Temecula, California, United States
|
I am selling my beloved 1981 VOLVO 244 DL. This DL is perhaps the nicest you will ever see. I bought it from a lady here in San Diego. She bought it when she was 50 and let it go when she was 81. The Volvo traveled only 30 miles per day when she owned it. To and from work for 31 years. She told me the furthest it ever went was 50 miles. My wife and I were lucky enough to buy it last year for her to go back and forth to work. She loved, garaged and carefully maintained the Volvo just as the original owner had done. This Volvo has been garaged its entire life. The previous owner had custom seat covers made for both the front seats. They are in perfect condition and so are the original front seat covers. If you notice in the pictures the PO even made leather hand grips on the drivers side interior door so as to not ruin the original grips. I have a detailed letter from her ( 81 years old ) that I will pass on to the winning bidder describing the Volvo and the years she owned it since new. The Volvo is Museum quality in my opinion. The original paint is in fantastic condition, interior is a 10 out of 10. There are no dents, there is no rust, the undercarriage is in great condition with no leaks, the 4 cylinder B21f ENGINE runs perfect, the Volvo transmission is in perfect running condition also, trunk is flawless, great tires, no issues with electrical, everything on this Volvo works perfectly. AC is cold, heater works perfect. Everywhere we go in this Volvo people stop to have a closer look. It is a time capsule and looks new inside and out. The pictures pretty much speak for themselves. The Volvo was always properly maintained and as a result runs perfect. IF your looking for a classic Volvo 244 and want to drive the closest thing to a new one from back then in 1981 then you should try and win this auction. It has been an honor to have owned it for the past year. I collect a variety of classics but am selling this one since my wife just bought a Toyota Avalon and has decided to go with a newer vehicle. Volvo's are very tough, run forever and are extremely comfortable to drive. They also get great fuel mileage ( approx. 25 mpg ). I do have receipts that I will pass along to the winning bidder. The Volvo is currently garaged and is NOT being driven. I have set the reserve fairly in my opinion based on the rarity and condition of this DL. It ain't cheap though so if your looking for a ''beater'' then don't bother to bid. This vehicle is either for a collector, a museum or someone who wants a classic Volvo to travel around in. I will answer all questions and post the answers on Ebay for everyone to see. I do have extra pics and can take other pics if you need some. Just email and let me know. Thanks. Globalvu3nn3.

Volvo V70 and XC70 and Ocean Race special editions wash ashore ahead of Geneva
Sat, 22 Feb 2014Volvo will unveil the third in its series of new concepts to the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, but it will also bring a flotilla of special editions to the Swiss show. The V70 and XC70 are getting limited-edition models called simply Edition, and the V40, V40 Cross Country, V60 and XC60 will have Volvo Ocean Race Editions.
The Edition models outfit the cars with an extra sprinkling of style. The V70 Edition gets high-gloss black trim on the grille, mirror caps, side window frames and tailgate and rides on silver, 17-inch wheels with high-gloss black 17-inch and 18-inch wheels as options. The XC70 Edition adds some gloss black exterior upgrades too, plus high-gloss black, 18-inch diamond-cut wheels. Both models are swathed in black leather upholstery with cream stitching.
The Volvo Ocean Race Editions celebrate the brand's sponsorship of a 38,739-nautical-mile yacht race that will circumnavigate the world from 2014 to 2015. All of them sport the race logo on the tread plates, front fenders, infotainment display on start-up and special seven-spoke wheels. Inside, there is the choice of black or blonde leather seats with orange stitching. The 60-series cars also sport a map of the race route on the rear load cover.
New Volvo ad remembers the joy of rear-facing jump seats
Mon, 19 May 2014With the rise in popularity of first the minivan and later the crossover as the default family vehicle, there have been about 20 years of children who have missed out on the joy of rear-facing jump seats in station wagons. It means kids today don't know the pleasure to be found in making faces or lewd gestures at other drivers while their parents can't see. Plus, they don't know the slightly nauseous feeling of watching the world pass by in reverse. However, a group of filmmakers look back with nostalgia at this increasingly uncommon automotive feature in a new ad for the 2015 Volvo V60.
As part of its sponsorship of the National Film Festival for Talented Youth, Volvo commissions a team each year to create an advertisement to be shown during the festival. This year's shows how the company's buyers have gone from riding in the back to driving the brand's cars. Scroll down to check out the charming ad, along with some wistful looks at classic Volvo wagons, before the jump seat is forgotten.
Volvo to finally replace XC90 in 2014
Wed, 16 Jan 2013There's not a whole lot of life left in the current Volvo XC90, but it seems a replacement is on the way. According to What Car?, Volvo will launch its new flagship crossover sometime in 2014, riding on an all new platform that will eventually underpin several models in the company's range.
According to Volvo boss Hakan Samuelsson, this new architecture will eventually underpin the next-generation S60, V70, S80 and XC60, all of which will be getting mid-cycle enhancements over the next year. In speaking to What Car?, Samuelsson said that Volvo would not try to follow the paths set by BMW and Mercedes-Benz, instead focusing on "safety, elegant design and user-friendly functionality" for its next round of new cars.
The new XC90 will remain a seven-passenger vehicle and will be powered by a range of four-cylinder engines. Volvo will soon be dropping the five- and six-cylinder powertrains from its lineup.
