Selling this 1981 Volvo DL.  Purchased brand new by "Uncle Ray" in Northern California where it still lives.  The blue paint still shines nice.  It has met with a few parking lot blemishes(see photos and video).  It was maintained and still is to the tee.  A stack of service records accompany the vehicle.  The sunroof still slides nicely.  The interior, although nice by Volvo standards does have a small hole in the driver's side bottom cushion.  There are seat covers covering the front seat.  The passenger front is still nice.  The rear seats look like no one has ever sat in them.  It has been lovingly owned by one owner more over 30 years.  The dash does have some small cracks(see video).  The sunroof slides nicely and it rides on matching tires.  Words cannot describe how nice and original this Volvo is.  I will let the videos and photos show you.  It a vintage Volvo has been in your hearts desire, then this is the one for you.  For, you can search the world and not find an original one like this still owned by the original owner.  He has kept this Volvo in exceptional shape.  It is now ready for the next Volvo owner.  I only hope that whoever gets the Volvo takes care of it as well as "Uncle Ray" did. With all my auctions, a few requirements.  First, NO PAYPAL.  Second, any and all bidders with less than 10 feedback and/or negative feedback must contact me PRIOR to bidding with their full name and contact number.  Third, you are bidding to OWN, not look and make excuses.  Any and all inspections are welcome during the auction period, not after.  Once the auction is completed, you are the NEW owner.  Please make sure you have any and all funds necessary to purchase this vehicle. Also, selling in AS-IS, Where-Is condition with NO WARRANTIES, expressed or implied.  Vehicle is a 33 year old vehicle and although looks and runs good, it should not be considered SHOWROOM fresh.  Seller has represented vehicle to the best of his knowledge and also makes no representations as to the condition of the vehicle.  Vehicle is also advertised locally and seller reserves right to end the auction early and cancel all bids.  So, with a great big, I LOVE VOLVOS yell, let this auction begin.  NO RESERVE.

Volvo S60 Polestar Concept finally spotted in the flesh

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

The Volvo S60 Polestar Concept has graced the pages of Autoblog numerous times in recent memory, but we've never actually seen it in person. That is, until now.
We caught up with the blazing blue sedan sitting on the floor of the LA Auto Show, and it looks even better up close. As a refresher, the four-door is fitted with a turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine (3.0-liter) generating an impressive 508 horsepower. Its close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox sends power to all four wheels through a fourth-generation Haldex XWD system. With a decent driver behind the steering wheel, the Polestar can crack the 60 mph benchmark in about 3.7 seconds as it rushes towards a top speed in excess of 186 mph.
Volvo has said that this Polestar-modified S60 was built for a specific client who paid upwards of $300,000 for the pleasure of owning it. But as they say, if there is market demand for more...

Volvo unveils all-new user interface destined for next-gen XC90 [w/video]

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Take a close look at the cabin of the Volvo Concept Estate shown above. One of the big features on the fancy, brown shooting brake is an all-new user interface called, well, it doesn't really have a name, at least not one Volvo is revealing.
The refreshingly nameless system looks seriously impressive based on the short video that accompany's the system's press release. The jewel of the whole interface is a sizable touchscreen that manages most every in-car function save for a few vital functions like volume, hazard lights and other systems that still demand a more tactile interface.
"The basic idea is to organize controls and information in a perfectly intuitive and user- friendly way. Everything is exactly where you expect it to be, making the drive more enjoyable, efficient, and safe," Thomas Ingenlath, Volvo's Senior Vice President of Design, said in a statement.

New Lotus SUV could be based on Volvo architecture

Tue, Mar 20 2018

Last year, Chinese carmaker Geely upped its stake in Lotus to a majority, recently investing more money into the British brand. Now, talking with Automotive News, CEO Jean-Marc Gales says Geely has approved three new models: two sports cars and the third an SUV. The sports cars will be announced later this year, and they will reach production in 2020. The last time a properly new Lotus debuted was in 2009 with the Evora, so a decade later new products are certainly due. But what about that SUV? Autocar says that since Geely also owns Volvo, that makes it possible for Lotus to base the SUV onto the Volvo SPA platform, which is also used in the XC60 and XC90. The choice of platform would mean the SUV would have to be a four-cylinder model, but that's nothing new to Lotus. It could even use Volvo's "Twin Engine" hybrid setup, which would mean a power output of over 400 horsepower as stock, and that with Lotus' eagerness for lightness could be a potent combination. Autocar quotes Gales as saying, "It will go round bends like nothing else in its segment." The target weight for the approximately Porsche Macan-sized SUV is under 2,000 kilos (4,400 pounds), and the Macan weighs 4244 pounds in 400-hp Turbo guise. The Lotus SUV is projected to hit the market in "about four years," and it's very likely to be built in China instead of Britain, as the Chinese market is very enticing — especially for this class of vehicle. The vehicles will still be designed at Lotus' Hethel HQ. Related Video:
