Rescued from a Texas used car dealership and carefully restored here in Jersey. Here's the real story of Grandma Boone as told to me by her husband and grandson: Carol Boone loved her Turbo and she was very particular about it. Sending it back for local repairs frequently with many minor complaints. I have pages of paperwork with complaints like "whistling noises", "groaning brakes", "uncomfortable seats", "improperly adjusted a/c vents" etc. It's actually pretty funny but Mrs Boone was not shy about spending money on her Volvo. I hold most, if not every, major repair receipt. She rarely drove the car and always kept it in the garage. As she grew older in the 1990's she drove the car less and less frequently. By the end of the 90's, it just sat in the garage. In 2002 it had 12k on the odometer when Mrs. Boone spent over $3500 to put it back on the road. She replaced the gas tank, fuel pumps, lines, distributor, new belts (including timing), trans & coolant flush, oil change, etc. In Summer of '03 she backed into a Texas roadside irrigation ditch and did $1624 of repair damage. Mostly the muffler and rear bumper. Carfax reflects this single minor accident and I have the auto body repair receipt. The accident ended Grandma Boone's driving days and unfortunately she passed away in 2005. Her husband and adult grandson drove the car around locally from 16-24k miles then traded the car into a Texas used car dealership this past summer for . . .... $1000. (They reportedly bought another Volvo if that makes you feel any better). I saw the car advertised on Craigslist and bought it sight unseen then shipped it to Jersey for restoration. So this actually is Grandma's original Turbobrick stored in a Texas time capsule for 3 decades. Interior- The leather seats are soft. Yes, soft tan leather seats. No rips or cracking only minor wear. No dash cracks with only minor sun fading throughout. Sunroof operates perfectly as well as all gauges, switches, chimes and lights. The A/C blows cold as it should. Exterior- The paint is in fantastic shape. A minor blemish here and there but nothing close to clear coat breakdown. One very small ding on drivers front wheel well. Again, there is no rust anywhere on this car. I also have an undercoating receipt from summer of '83. The rims are in excellent shape. Best Virgo's I've ever seen. Only one or two spots of very light rash out of 4. The original optional red bumper stripe is still attached but parts of the stripe are peeling. Mechanics- The car runs and handles perfectly and it's a complete joy to drive. You really get an idea of how tight these cars felt right off of the showroom floor. No record of a wiring harness replacement but there is no need. The original looks nearly perfect. I don't think you could find a used Turbo harness in better shape. Staged 0'd. Bougicord plugs, wires, cap, rotor and oil filter. Bosch alternator Cleaned grounds, replaced fuses, new battery Minor issues- The fuel filter is not OEM Pictures show the Alpine head unit and old glove box lock but both have been properly replaced. Later style rear deck tabs in pictures have been replaced with correct ones. I have a spare tire cover on the way also. Proper plush tan floor mats included. I simply ran it through the car wash for pictures. It would look even better after a nice detailing. Swag around your local meet in style. This car could easily be concourse shown. Maybe drop in an M46? Or it could be stripped down for an epic rebuild around the flawless shell. Or maybe just store it away as a retirement investment (it will surely appreciate in value more than your IRA). Car is currently located in 08501 New Jersey and available for prompt inspection. I am just off Exit 7a of the NJ Turnpike (I-95). I am also very close to Route 1, Route 130, I-195, and trains. NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor line stops nearby in Hamilton and Amtrak stops in Trenton. I'm also 45 mins from Newark and Philly airports. I am also willing to ship this car at 100% your expense. I hold the clean title in hand and will not release it to you without full confirmed payment 12/6 Item relisted because original listing had an incorrect VIN #. (Vin's can't be edited, only relisted) |

Next-generation Volvo XC90 interior revealed
Tue, 27 May 2014Volvo has officially kicked off the slow burn that will lead to the eventual unveiling of the next-generation XC90, in August. Its initial foray into the public eye will be with these, a series of 20 images of the new three-row SUVs interior, which is very, very Swedish (there are even the most adorable little Swedish flags on the seats).
In all, it looks like a positively sumptuous place to sit, with sharp looking woods and a crystal shifter, crafted by Orrefors Glassworks in Sweden. It's a clean, minimalist design that we imagine will age quite nicely.
Featured quite prominently - and the main part of the cabin that doesn't strike us as minimalist - is the very large touchscreen. Aligned in a portrait layout, which hasn't been done by too many automakers, it will be home to a new type of infotainment system that will make its debut in Volvo's flagship SUV. It also looks like we can expect digital gauges when the XC90 finally arrives.
Ward's announces 10 Best Engines 2015
Wed, Dec 10 2014Ward's Auto has named its 10 Best Engines for 2015, covering a range of powerplants from fuel-sippers to fire-breathers. As with past years, forced-induction reigns supreme, with seven of the ten engines featuring a turbo or supercharger. This year is slightly different, though, as two of the seven blown engines are turbocharged three-cylinder mills, from the Ford Fiesta and Mini Cooper. They're joined by the 2.0-liter turbo four from the Volvo S60, the 1.8-liter turbo four from the Volkswagen Jetta and the 2.0-liter boxer from the Subaru WRX. BMW and Chrysler were the only marques to be named to this year's list twice, with the electric motor from the i3 joining the Mini's three-pot, and the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 in the Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee repping the diesel crowd, alongside a certain supercharged monster. Hyundai also took a prize with a zero-emissions powertrain, with the Tucson FCV's 100-kilowatt fuel cell making the list (apparently Ward's is quite generous with what it deems an "engine"). Rounding out the list are two Autoblog favorites, each displacing 6.2 liters, but producing their power very differently. On the one hand, Chevrolet's overhead-valve, 455-horsepower V8, found in the Corvette, makes its power the old fashioned way. And in the other corner, we have one of the most exciting engines of the year – the 707-hp, 6.2-liter, supercharged Hellcat V8, featured so prominently in the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat. "We spend a lot of time reading the powertrain tea leaves throughout the auto industry, and we're proud that this year's list is a microcosm of all the latest innovation coming from automakers," said Ward's Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter in a statement. "It's not just a list for enthusiasts or for environmentalists," he says. "There's something for every vehicle shopper and every budget. All the powertrains on this list deliver a first-rate driving experience," Winter added. Scroll down for the full list from Ward's, and let us know which engines you think belong and which should have been included in this year's rankings. Ward's 10 Best Engines of 2015 Announced by Penton's WardsAuto Honorees span most diverse and technically advanced engines in 21 years of recognized powertrain excellence SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Penton's Wards 10 Best Engines of 2015 have been announced.
Scratch that new crossover, Volvo teases ad campaign for XC60
Sun, 26 May 2013If we were to paraphrase the opening lines of Kenneth Graeme's Wind in the Willows for our own purposes, we'd write, "Have you heard about Volvo? They never planned a new crossover at all. It was all a horrid low trick of theirs...." To be fair, though, we can't blame them for our own presumption. When the Swedish car company created a site called LeaveTheWorldBehind.com and teased a couple of videos for some kind of collaboration with Swedish House Mafia, we thought the crossover in one of the teasers pointed to a new vehicle on the way.
Turns out that's not the case. It really is 'just' a collaboration with the band on a music video for Swedish artist Lune's cover of their 2009 song, Leave the World Behind.
But there are Volvos in it, and you can watch it below and hear original song alongside. We've also included the press release with more details on why it all came together, and a behind-the-scenes video on the collabo. To paraphrase Forrest Gump, "That's all we have to say about that."
