1981 Volvo 245 wagon with 1988 5.0HO automatic from a Lincoln LSC. The car was converted to V8 power about 10 years ago and has been driven over 35,000 miles since conversion. It has the heavy duty trailer hitch. I have been diving the car to and from work (40 miles round trip) it runs and drives well. The good: Bilstein shocks and struts, IPD heavy duty sway bars front and rear, new radiator last November, tires and battery replaced last year, rotors and pads about 2 years ago, custom dual exhaust sounds great. It has a 3.73 rear end and the electronic speedometer from a later model 240. Odometer reading is not the actual miles as the instrument cluster has been replaced during the conversion. Tach and speedometer work, the odometer does not work. The bad: paint is ugly (great patina!), rear wiper not installed, front and rear window washers do not work, dash is cracked, windshield is cracked, there are some rust spots on the car, odometer does not work. Some small holes in the interior, small transmission leak. Did I mention the ugly paint? A/C was working when converted. One of the hoses came loose and the freon leaked out. I have not recharged freon since. The cruise control was not installed after the conversion. The hub caps for the wheels are included with the sale. I have had my fun with this car and am working on a new project. It is time for someone else to enjoy this rat rod. Clear FL title in hand. Ask questions before bidding. Bidders with less then 10 feedback must contact me before bidding. This is a no reserve auction. This vehicle is over 30 years old and is sold as is, where is, no warranty. Winning bidder is responsible for pick up in central FL or shipping vehicle. I will be traveling the last week of August and will not be available to turn the car over from 8/24-9/1. Delivery within 100 miles available for expenses. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Stolen first production Volvo P1800 recovered
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Late last month, we told you about a 1961 Volvo P1800 that had been stolen in Sweden. The thought of losing a classic coupe to an unscrupulous thief is troubling enough, but this wasn't just any P1800 - it was the very first production example minted, and the restored red-over-white two-door was owned by the vice president of the Swedish P1800 Club to boot. Chassis Number Two was pilfered from a Stockholm lockup on either August 21 or 22, and the theft triggered an international hunt of sorts.
Fortunately, that hunt has come to a (mostly) happy ending. According to Larmtjänst AB, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting vehicle crime in Sweden, the car was spotted by someone who had read about the missing classic. The P1800 was recovered in Hägerstensvägen, a municipality of Stockholm, after being found abandoned on the road covered with a tarp. The owner is reportedly very relieved that his Volvo is mostly intact, marred only by a broken ignition and a dirty interior.
See Volvo's integration of Apple CarPlay in action
Mon, 03 Mar 2014Apple unveiled its new CarPlay touchscreen infotainment system earlier today, and Volvo has just released a video showing the system in action. The Cupertino tech giant is expected to announce partnerships with Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz to license CarPlay, as well, at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show and will be working with even more manufacturers in the future.
The system pairs the driver's iPhone with the car's infotainment system and seamlessly allows them use the smart phone's functions and, at least in Volvo's demonstration, the car's climate control and seat heating systems. According to the video, the new system will be available "in the coming generation Volvo cars," which likely means the upcoming, next-generation Volvo XC90.
However, the system will not work universally. Apple will add functionality through an update to iOS 7 in the future for the iPhone 5, 5C and 5S. At launch other devices won't be supported. Scroll down to watch CarPlay work. We are expecting more details to emerge on the new infotainment system when the Swiss show opens tomorrow.
