1991 Volvo 240 Station Wagon Beautiful Shape, Low Miles on 2040-cars
West Palm Beach, Florida, United States
1991 Volvo 240 Station Wagon. The little station wagon runs very well, it handles great, drives straight, tight and solid like it should. Very well maintained by an owner with vehicular OCD! lol 139600 original miles showing on a working odometer. 4 Cylinder engine with Automatic transmission that shifts smoothly. Power windows (All work) Cold A/C (Brand new evaporator core, newer compressor and dryer, Repair total was $1800.00) AM/FM/CD aftermarket system. The clock in the dash works and keeps time! Timing belt replaced about 2 years ago. Newer brakes. Disc brakes all around. Tuned up about 6 months ago, plugs, wires, belts, hoses etc. New ECU ($500.00) also about 6 months ago. When replaced, I opted for one with a 5 year warranty rather than a 2 year for an extra $200.00 bucks. Goodyear tires with probably 90% of their tread remaining (matching set). Paint is in very nice condition, I had the hood and roof painted about a year ago as they were starting to fade. Overall, there are a few hard to locate scratches on the car, and the tailgate has a two small dings (pictured), other than that, the old girl looks like a car that is 1/10 her age. Always a Florida car. Privacy tinted rear windows. All lights work, including the rear third tailgate brake light. Interior (original navy Blue) is in really nice condition, seats show some wear, but not much, door panels are excellent as are the door map pockets, dash is nice, seats both front and rear are in good shape. Carpet which has been protected by the Volvo all weather floor mats is in really nice condition. There is also an all weather mat for the rear cargo area carpet as well (not pictured, it was in the garage when I did the cars photo shoot). Rear cargo roll up cover, it doesn’t retract well. Headliner is good. And
for the cons: Both
horn and cruise control work intermittently, the horn issue is recent, the
cruise hasn’t worked in the 4+ years I’ve had the wagon. I’d
replaced the center console between the front seats and it never fit quite
right. Outer
rubber door window seals are showing their age and have some cracking
(pictured). Stereo
speakers aren’t all that great. Either the ones in the front doors don’t work,
or I’ve got the fade and balance on the radio adjusted incorrectly. The
“burned out bulb warning light” on the dash illuminates on and off when the
lights are on. I’ve found no burned out bulbs, I’ve replaced all the bulbs in
an effort to fix this issue, but to no avail. Any questions, feel free to shoot me an email.
If you are local (or even if you’re not) and would like to inspect the car prior to bidding, let me know and we can certainly make arrangements for you to do so. Thanks. |

Volvo P1800 restomod by Cyan Racing is coming to the U.S.
Sun, May 29 2022Cyan's Racing's heavily modded Volvo P1800 will soon be making its North American debut, and it'll be available to purchase in America. Based on the sleek 1961-72 coupe that just might be the sexiest car Volvo ever made, it's been transformed by the wizards at the race engineering firm previously known as Polestar into a 420-horse tire-shredder. We've waxed on about the Cyan P1800 before, admiring its lighter-than-a-Miata curb weight thanks to carbon fiber body panels, while marveling at its beautifully minimalist turbo 2.0-liter Volvo four. The driving experience is meant to be truly analog, from the manual gearbox to the lack of ABS and traction control. The entire suspension was redesigned and even its profile isn't quite identical to the original P1800 — the greenhouse, for example, has been repositioned. Best of all, its metamorphosis from antique to hot rod was performed not by some fly-by-night operation, but by an actual race shop, the one that turned the Volvo 850 into a Super Touring race car. The Polestar firm was so successful, Volvo actually bought them out, subsequently turning the brand into its performance EV subsidiary. Cyan Racing says the only things that remain from the original P1800 is the steel frame, hood release, handbrake, and windshield wipers. Everything else, including the glass, was manufactured uniquely for this car. A year ago, Cyan said that the entry price for this unique combination of classic design and race-inspired performance was $500,000. When it becomes available stateside, however, the starting price will be, according to Cyan, "around $700,000". With that eye-watering price, customers get to personalize each P1800 to their liking. Cyan says the car was engineered so that it could be "tailored into anything from a lightweight, high-performance cafe racer to a grand tourer." The Cyan Volvo P1800 will make its North American debut at The Quail during Monterey Car Week.
Jaguar turns down offers to join V8 Supercars, questions AMG, Volvo participation
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Rumors have swirled in recent weeks that Jaguar may be the next manufacturer to join the V8 Supercars racing series, made popular in Australia but now well-known in other parts of the world as well. Sadly, Jag's participation is not to be. In fact, it would be "insane," according to Jaguar Land Rover Asia Pacific Managing Director David Blackhall, for it to accept either of the two offers it has received to bring Jaguar into V8 Supercars.
Not only is Jaguar not interested in entering V8 Supercars, says Blackhall, it also fails to understand the recent entries from AMG and Volvo. "I don't know what it does for AMG to get flogged by a V8 Commodore week after week, but it's their brand, their issue. And the same thing will happen to Volvo to be honest."
Judging by Blackhall's statements to motoring.com.au, after not-so-serious consideration, the automaker decided the monetary commitment it would take to compete for wins would be more than any potential exposure would be worth, despite the fact that Jaguar has a 5.0-liter V8 to go along with what would seem to be a tailor-made rear-wheel-drive chassis. For what it's worth, one offer would have had Jaguar putting its name across an engine made by someone else, an option that was flatly turned down.
Weekly Recap: Lincoln Continental serves up the style, Cadillac CT6 delivers the substance in New York
Sat, Apr 4 2015Lincoln and Cadillac grabbed the spotlight this week at the New York Auto Show in a dramatic fashion that evoked the brands' glory days. America's two luxury carmakers went toe-to-toe with their glittering reveals and plans for ambitious expansion. Both were selling their technology, style and the promise of a better future. Cadillac vs. Lincoln. At the Javits Center, 2015 seemed a lot like 1956. Neither company was interested in drawing comparisons with the other, which is fair, and accurate. They're in vastly different places in terms of sales and the pace of their turnarounds, but they hope to reach the same eventual destination at the pinnacle of the luxury-car world. Lincoln used the element of surprise to great effect with the Continental concept. A production version is still at least a year away, and the company was vague on details. Officially, we don't even know if it is front- or rear-wheel drive, though speculation abounds. Who cares? The seats can be adjusted 30 ways! The Continental also showed off a bold chrome grille that will be the new face of Lincoln. The blue bomber also rolled on blinged-out 21-inch polished aluminum wheels, used a 3.0-liter EcoBoost engine and had huge LED head lights with "laser-assisted" high beams. All of this resulted in almost blinding attention. The concept drew rave reviews, stirred controversy with Bentley designers who argued Lincoln ripped them off, and most importantly, pointed a way forward for the newly determined brand that hopes to compete with Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Cadillac and Lexus. View 32 Photos Meanwhile, Cadillac showed the CT6, a finished product that will top its range and is loaded with the best and latest technologies General Motors has at its disposal. With production starting late this year, Cadillac had more specifics at the ready. Engines? Cadillac has a couple V6s and a turbo four for sure. It's working on a hybrid, and has considered a V-Series variant. It's based on a new rear-wheel-drive, aluminum-intensive chassis called Omega, features an advanced collision-mitigation system with automatic braking and has a cabin that's laden with "leathers, exotic woods and carbon fiber." It will be assembled at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck factory and goes on sale next year. At this point, Cadillac is more than willing to talk about every except for the price. The devil was not in the details for Cadillac, as evidenced by the CT6. But it wasn't for Lincoln either.
