1984 Volvo 240 Turbo Wagon With Many Aftermarket Parts, For Parts on 2040-cars
Milton, Wisconsin, United States
|
The ideal person to buy this car is someone who is starting from scratch at modifying a Volvo 240, who has a decent body and engine and needs all the upgrades. And a little space to store this car while they take parts off. And a little time on their hands to do all that.
The car has been sitting for about seven years. It drove itself to where it's been parked since, overheating in the process. Best to not expect to start this engine and bring it back from the dead. The parts: IPD: Front and rear Sway Bars (25mm both; rear installed, front not installed) 245 Lowering springs (Front installed; rear not installed) Early adjustable camshaft gear (loosen bolts and infinitely adjustable) Upper 242GT strut tower-to-firewall braces Lower subframe stressbars (never installed) Steve Buscina strut tower brace in red/black powdercoat GTS brand headlight covers Custom 2.5" stainless turbo-back exhaust system with Catalytic convertor and muffler. Side exit ahead of passenger rear wheel (exhaust tip needs to be bent after curb strike, or whatever happened) "K" cam installed B23 intake manifold Full Volvo Intercooler setup from early 740 Turbo, including compressor bypass valve. Koni Special ("reds", adjustable) struts and rear shocks (I can't say enough good things about these shocks - loved 'em even better than Bilstein and Koni Sports I've had!) Original strut inserts to come with car (FWIW) Full complement of original Turbo gauges, plus the most excellent outside thermometer. Black leather front seat headrest pads Cruise control All the various chassis bits (tie rods, balljoints, brakes with PBR pads, etc) were in excellent condition when it was last out. Some of those things should still be good. Not sure about he hydraulics. There's a host of related parts that I could maybe dig out, depending on your interest. These include a full set of SuperPro poly bushings that were never installed, the original "T" turbo camshaft, an "A" cam, not sure what else. If you're really interested and are nice to me, I might consider letting go my R-sport steering wheel and adapter and the rare-as-heck dashtop gauge cluster (goes where the dashtop speaker usually is) for additional $$. I'm keeping the Turbo rims - car will come with set of random wheels to roll on. I might be able to assist with delivery of this vehicle - but it would be best to trailer it (I don't own a full trailer). Contact me before bidding if you're interested in anything other than picking it up yourself. |

Ex-Volvo boss Stefan Jacoby to head GM's international operations
Fri, 02 Aug 2013He was too talented not to surface somewhere, we just didn't know where and when. Nine months ago, Stefan Jacoby stepped down from his post as Volvo CEO, a move that caught many off guard. At the time, the separation was called "amicable," but word is that the strong-willed executive clashed with owners Geely and the automaker's board.
Jacoby will have a new set of challenges on his hands, as he has just been named Executive Vice President Consolidated International Operations for General Motors. That means the Hannover-born Jacoby will head up the company's operations in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Middle East, where he will be responsible for over 100 countries and territories. Jacoby succeeds Tim Lee, who has been named chairman of GM China. Lee will also retain his post as Executive Vice President Global Manufacturing.
Jacoby's dealings with Geely should help him in his Asian market duties, but he also counts time as the head of Volkswagen of China on his resume, so he's very well-versed in the market's peculiarities.
2015 Volvo XC90 proves Sweden's auto industry is alive and well [w/video]
Fri, 03 Oct 2014The most important new Volvo in quite some time has made its first auto show appearance, with the second-generation XC90 debuting at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.
As we discussed in both our original post and Deep Dive feature, the new XC90 remains a three-row crossover for 2015, although it ditches the first-gen model's top-end, turbocharged six-cylinder in favor of a single twin-charged, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine. By pairing that with a plug-in-electric powertrain, the king of the XC90 range, the T8 TwinEngine, will offer up 400 horsepower. So yeah, performance should be brisk.
Also appearing on 2015 XC90 will be an entirely new, Apple CarPlay-compatible infotainment system with a big, vertical touchscreen display at its heart. Based on the videos we've seen, the new system looks responsive, feature-laden and quite attractive.
Volvo agrees to transfer tech to new parent Geely
Tue, 11 Dec 2012Following the acquisition of Volvo by China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group in 2010, we definitely saw this news coming. The two companies have signed an agreement that will give Chinese automaker Geely access to key technologies developed by Volvo, and in turn, the deal could help the Swedish automaker lower its production costs.
As a part of the "technological cooperation agreements" signed by both companies, Automotive News China reports that Geely will be able to tap Volvo for three much-needed technologies, including the use of a midsize platform, Volvo's proven safety innovations and interior air quality systems. The latter two technologies are important to improve the crashworthiness of Geely's cars, along with helping isolate vehicle occupants from China's often severe air pollution. The report says that Volvo tech will likely be used on a premium car brand that Geely is expected to create.
Volvo, on the other hand, is to benefit from the "local market exploration experience and cost control experience" of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, which is technical way of saying that Volvo will be able reduce its costs by tapping into Geely's established supply chain.
