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. |

New Volvo ad remembers the joy of rear-facing jump seats
Mon, 19 May 2014With the rise in popularity of first the minivan and later the crossover as the default family vehicle, there have been about 20 years of children who have missed out on the joy of rear-facing jump seats in station wagons. It means kids today don't know the pleasure to be found in making faces or lewd gestures at other drivers while their parents can't see. Plus, they don't know the slightly nauseous feeling of watching the world pass by in reverse. However, a group of filmmakers look back with nostalgia at this increasingly uncommon automotive feature in a new ad for the 2015 Volvo V60.
As part of its sponsorship of the National Film Festival for Talented Youth, Volvo commissions a team each year to create an advertisement to be shown during the festival. This year's shows how the company's buyers have gone from riding in the back to driving the brand's cars. Scroll down to check out the charming ad, along with some wistful looks at classic Volvo wagons, before the jump seat is forgotten.
Volvo offers up more details on 2015 XC90 and its new infotainment system
Tue, 03 Jun 2014We have more details on the 2015 Volvo XC90 and the all-new, touch-heavy infotainment system that will debut with it. An expansion of the Sensus system, as we've shown you before, we now know the new system won't only sport a large, vertically oriented touchscreen, but a head-up display and the ability to manage the systems via wheel-mounted buttons.
Key to the entire experience are the large, portrait-oriented touchscreen, a head-up display and the thumb controls you can see on the face of the steering wheel in the image above. Volvo is claiming that this combination will be easier to use and, fittingly for the Swedish manufacturer, safer.
"Using the screen is so logical that it will become part of your muscle memory very quickly," said Dr. Peter Mertens, Volvo's senior vice president of research and development. "Information, navigation and media are high up and easy to check. The phone controls, application icons and climate controls are located low, comfortable to reach and touch. All of this logic is based on extensive usability and user experience research and the latest technology."
