1983 Volvo 242 Turbo. Vcoa Best Of Show Winner - Fully Restored on 2040-cars
Edmond, Oklahoma, United States
The 242 Turbo in front of you is a fully restored car that was saved from certain death. It had been parked in 1992 and left to die. Fortunately, it was left under a cover that protected the vehicle from most elements but did nothing for the paint. We trailered it home and stripped the entire interior and cleaned and catalogued all of the parts making a list of new parts that were needed. The car was then taken to Vern's Imports in Kansas City where mechanical repairs were made. A rebuilt engine was installed as the original had seized from sitting. A completely new fuel system was installed from the fuel tank, fuel pump and fuel accumulator. A new wiring harness was installed as the original had deteriorated. New IPD Sport Suspension springs were installed which lowered the car approximately 1 1/2" - 2" inches and the shocks were checked but were fine. The car was then taken in to receive new paint work which included removing a couple of small dents via paintless dent repair and then having two areas of rust removed and new metal welded in. To give the car a modern look a set of 18" Pegasus wheels from a 2004 S60R were installed with 18" Toyo Proxes Tires (205/35/18). To make this combination work custom milled aluminum spacers were made after much research to get the spacing correct. These spacers are hub centric which mean they fit the hub exactly as the factory wheels did and then the spacers are wheel centric to meet the specifications of the Pegasus wheel. This assures a perfect fit and ride. The original interior was in need of extensive work. The seats were stripped and rebuilt the interior parts that were there were all cleaned and re-used if possible. New door panels and rear panels were obtained from a donor car in Pittsburg Kansas and other small interior part were obtained from other vehicles in the Midwest. Fortunately, the carpet was rolled up and set on the rear deck and in perfect condition.
After the restoration was complete we took the car to many shows across the Midwest.

I have receipts for the major work that was done on the car and can send those to serious buyers. Since restoration the car has been garage kept and under a custom cover.
Over $15,000 invested in the restoration. The car is sold as is at $12,500 or BEST OFFER. I want to get this car into the hands of someone that will take it and enjoy it.

2015 Volvo XC90 is the Swedish future
Tue, 26 Aug 2014It's been months since the Concept XC Coupe debuted at the Detroit Auto Show, Volvo's last show car previewing its all-new 2015 XC90. But the production model is finally here after years of development, and it signals the future of the Swedish automaker with its Scalable Product Architecture modular platform and cutting-edge new engine family.
The 2015 XC90 carries all-new styling, but is still familiar up front, with the company's logo slashing diagonally through its prominent, upright grille. Like the concept, it carries T-Shaped LED running lights through the headlights. The company calls them the "Thor's Hammer" design, an evocative designation that we think is fantastic. Under that new front end is a choice of two quite powerful, but very efficient powertrains. The standard XC90 gets a 2.0-liter turbocharged and supercharged engine with all-wheel drive making an impressive 316 horsepower. Or if buyers want to be a little greener and more powerful, there is the XC90 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid with the same engine, albeit augmented with an electric motor to produce a staggering 400 hp.
The exterior styling is crisp, if not quite as sensual as Volvo's latest concepts, but we think the interior is the real star here, with a dashboard that looks like it came out of a Herman Miller catalog and a unique vertically oriented infotainment screen integrated into its center stack, perhaps taking a cue from Tesla. If the cabin feels as good as it looks, we think a lot of sales are going to be won inside.
Season 9 of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases us with BMWs and Volvos
Thu, Dec 22 2016Jerry Seinfeld's successful online show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is heading into its ninth season, returning January 5th. It should be no surprise that the list of actors and comedians is impressive, with Kristen Wiig, Christoph Waltz, and more making appearances. Seinfeld has lined up an equally impressive list of cars for the new season. Porsche, BMW, and Volvo all have beautiful machines lined up to shuttle Seinfeld and his guest to different coffee shops. As always, it's a mix of light humor packed into a relatively short and, most importantly, free video. Catch up on the previous eight seasons now on Crackle.
