Please look at pictures- interior was removed adn racing seats installed. Speedo currently not working as the M45 and M46 had different attachments."

This is an 1976 Volvo 242. We purchased last year from a gentleman in Frankfort, KY- the car was driven here from California. The body is in great condition some monor dents filled. The car was originally a burgundy maroon color- it was painted black.

Engine - B21 - K-Jet was removed and a Weber carb conversion done - runs well and much simpler to adjust and work on. Timing belt & full tune-up were done - new racing plug wires installed - it has an oil catch can - the transmission was swapped from an M45 (4 spd) to an M46( 5 spd) - the gear shift lever piece that pulls the detent up to go into reverse broke( get the part would be a cheap fix- you can go into reverse by lifting the boot and pulling it up - due to the transmissin swap the speedo is currently not working M45 mechanical and the M46 electrical. There is no CAT on the car -used for Autocross. The springs were cut and the car is lowered by 1.5". It has new struts and Bilstein shocks in the rear.

Interior - was gutted & racing seats installed Momo FIAA approved seat fro the driver - custom gauge pod in center and off to your right.

Exterior- home painted black and wings - spoilers installed - If full price is given the new owner will get the rare Speed wheels(Rally) seen in the picture + a set of Bertone 780 rims as well.

Note: In addition - there is another new manual steering rack that will come with it - the rack currently works fine- bough it as a spare. The rear Diff has been welded which makes it a blast to drive.

It would not take much to return it to a daily street driver. Please review pic's

THIS IS A RARE CAR WITH SOME RARE PARTS- WE HAVE PUT MORE MONEY INTO THAN WE ARE SELLING IT FOR - IT'S A GOOD LITTLE CAR WITH A GREAT DEAL OF POTENTIAL.

NO INTERNATIONAL SALES - SO PLEASE DO NOT ASK.

Volvo details upcoming XC90's new scalable platform

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

In two weeks' time, we'll be boarding a flight for Stockholm for the live reveal of the new Volvo XC90. But before we do, Volvo has revealed another round of salient details regarding not only its new crossover, but a whole range of new vehicles to share its architecture.
That platform is called Scalable Product Architecture, and it follows the latest industry trend towards modular platforms. The product of four years' development, the new platform uses high-strength boron steel to optimize weight and rigidity. The scalable architecture, set to underpin the next-generation S60, V60, XC60, S80 and anything larger, offers designers more flexibility in terms of proportions. It can be adapted to a wide range of vehicles of different shapes and sizes, designed from the get-go to incorporate a range of powertrains (including the XC90's new twin-charged hybrid system) and all the latest safety technologies you'd expect from a Volvo.
The XC90, Volvo has revealed, will also offer increased interior flexibility, with movable second and third rows to optimize cargo space and legroom as needed. That third row is designed to accommodate children (or small adults) up to five-foot-seven. Meanwhile the image inset above gives us our first glimpse at the new XC90's styling, with T-shaped running lights inspired by Thor's hammer.

Volvo V70 and XC70 and Ocean Race special editions wash ashore ahead of Geneva

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

Volvo will unveil the third in its series of new concepts to the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, but it will also bring a flotilla of special editions to the Swiss show. The V70 and XC70 are getting limited-edition models called simply Edition, and the V40, V40 Cross Country, V60 and XC60 will have Volvo Ocean Race Editions.
The Edition models outfit the cars with an extra sprinkling of style. The V70 Edition gets high-gloss black trim on the grille, mirror caps, side window frames and tailgate and rides on silver, 17-inch wheels with high-gloss black 17-inch and 18-inch wheels as options. The XC70 Edition adds some gloss black exterior upgrades too, plus high-gloss black, 18-inch diamond-cut wheels. Both models are swathed in black leather upholstery with cream stitching.
The Volvo Ocean Race Editions celebrate the brand's sponsorship of a 38,739-nautical-mile yacht race that will circumnavigate the world from 2014 to 2015. All of them sport the race logo on the tread plates, front fenders, infotainment display on start-up and special seven-spoke wheels. Inside, there is the choice of black or blonde leather seats with orange stitching. The 60-series cars also sport a map of the race route on the rear load cover.

Volvo Polestar reveals new V8 Supercars engine

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

Volvo may be better known for turbo fives and inline fours, but in 2005 it launched the XC90 with a new eight-cylinder engine built for it by Yamaha. Fast forward to this past June when Volvo announced its intention to enter Australia's V8 Supercars series, where it would compete with the likes of Ford, Holden, Nissan and Mercedes-AMG. This is the engine with which it intends to do so.
Revealed this weekend at the Sydney 500, this competition-spec powerplant is based on the same B8444S that powered the XC90 and S80 (not to mention the Noble M600), but tuned for racing duty to be shoehorned into the new S60 touring car. The 60-degree aluminum block has been bored out from 4.4 liters to 5.0, its compression ratio boosted to 10:1, modified to run on E85 bio-ethanol and its redline increased to 7500 rpm. Volvo also promises a unique engine note from its new racers.
While Volvo and its racing partner Polestar haven't released official output numbers, regulations call for outputs between 620 and 650 horsepower - in any event, a whole lot more than the 311 hp it produces in stock form. (Noble managed to squeeze that much out of the same block, but that required twin turbochargers while this unit remains naturally aspirated.) Scope out the details in the press release below and the photos from the reveal in the gallery above.
