This excellent car was brought here to Maine from Arizona 5 years ago and has only been driven seasonally after renovation. There is absolutely no rust apparent on the body, underneath, in the wheel wells - anywhere. I have individual pictures of all the most rust prone areas on the 240 chassis. The exterior was repainted years ago because of sun damage in Arizona. Likewise, the interior was reupholstered tastefully in cloth. It still look great! Recent mechanical work (with Volvo original parts) include: both ball joints and tie rod ends, one steering rod and front end alignment, repack front wheel bearings, bent wheels replaced with good used, exhaust kit (from cat back), fuse box service, replace headlight relay, pcv service and parts replaced as needed, new timing belt and front engine seals (the correct way to do this job), new fuel distributor!! ($431.34). All fuel injectors and seals, new ignition coil, new air box, wiper blades, tires, steering boot, replaced side molding clips, ignition parts - spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, taillight assembly, all brake flex lines, bleed brakes, rebuild front brake calipers, replace od relay, water pump, thermostat, brake servo (used), front struts, oil change, alternator bushings. Since this car has been East, over $8,500 has been spent on mechanical repairs. It is a great daily driver. A current checkup (Vehicle Maintenance Analysis) is provided. Good luck bidding!

Volvo S60 Polestar concept plays in the snow with Mercedes C63 AMG
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Chris Harris took to a snowy stretch of tarmac to get a fingertips-on-the-wheel feel of the Volvo S60 Polestar concept. Harris says the turbocharged sedan with 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque - and a manual transmission - is "a study to see if Volvo can get back into the fast-car market." The Polestar S60 concept, one of which was already purchased for $300,000 by a private buyer, is still making the publicity rounds because even Volvo's Chinese owners realize that, as Harris says, "Volvo sold more cars because it made fast cars" like the old 850 T5 Wagon that stormed the British Touring Car Championship in the 1990s.
For reference, Harris compares the blue wonder to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG and its 487 hp and 442 lb-ft. The question is, were Volvo to get the price of a production version of the S60 Polestar to climb way down from its 200,000-pound sticker, could it be worthy competition to the established giants?
You can watch Harris divine the answer via a lot of drifting through the snow and a drag race in the video below.

Irv Gordon's Volvo P1800 has reached 3 million miles
Wed, 18 Sep 2013While we were seated at our desks like good worker bees yesterday, Irv Gordon was continuing his assault on the record books. Gordon, if you recall, is the original owner of a red 1966 Volvo P1800 (owner and car shown above), and yesterday, Volvo says the coupe's odometer clocked its three-millionth mile. The miracle mile occurred on the Seward Highway in Alaska, one of only two states that Gordon had never visited.
It took the New York native more than 20 years to hit his first million miles in 1987 and another 15 years to achieve two million miles in 2002, but a road trip to Alaska will further cement his place in the record books as the car surpasses three million miles. Gordon has almost doubled the 1.69-million mile distance that helped him win a Guinness Book of World Records title for the most miles logged on an originally owned car, and this new momentous distance proves the durability of both man and machine. For more information on Gordon's feat, scroll down for a Volvo press release or check out a website set up to celebrate his latest milestone.
