1989 Project Car Volvo 740 Sedan Gray Cloth Restoration Parts Movie Runs Drives on 2040-cars
Bellflower, California, United States
|
Up for NO RESERVE auction is a complete running 1989 Volvo 740. This car was purchased many years ago at a lein sale auction and it has been parked at my Volvo shop for many years. We have used it for training and slow day work so there are some things such as the timing belt that have been replaced over the years. Overall though it has been parked outdoors and looks it; it would make an excellent donor car for a restoration project, a stunt car for a movie shoot, or the basis for a demolition derby machine or even something like that flamethrower car in the movie Bellflower. When you start with a cheap running car like this and let your imagination run wild, ANYTHING is possible! Vehicle comes with old lien sale paperwork so it can be registered, and/or disposed of legally and properly once you've executed your plans for this project car. Even smashed into a 2-ton cube, it's worth a few $$ in the scrap market. I can assist the buyer with obtaining a 1-day moving permit for pickup day. Because the registration is expired and there is no PNO, I don't know how much it would be to register it to drive around, maybe over $1000? You might fall in love with the car and decide to go through the hoops to register and keep it- after 30 years in the car business I've seen it happen time and again. Or you have a 740 from 86-92 that's tired or has been crashed and you need a complete donor car- hooray, here is exactly everything you need for your project! The gray cloth seats are remarkable for the age. Pre-bid inspection is welcome and encouraged before you bid. It's not registered to go driving on the street but we can drive it around the parking lot and even put it up on a hoist if you need, how often does THAT happen on a used car purchase? Once the gavel falls, it is yours as-is, where is; while it is complete it hasn't been driven very far for years so no guarantee it will drive a particular distance. That said, you should be able to drive it home locally okay; but the farther from Los Angeles County you're going, the more moxie and resourcefulness you might need along the way. Payment in full within 7 days. If you have to arrange transportation we can accomodate a pickup all day M-F during business hours, it should go smoothly. Once paid in full I can be a little flexible about time to arrange transport. No-reserve auction, bid to win this running 1989 Volvo 740! |

Jeremy Lin's new Volvo has him working out with the XC60
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Jeremy Lin rose to prominence as a point guard for the New York Knicks in February of 2012 when he came out of nowhere to lead the team to a string of victories. Volvo was quick to notice and signed him as the company's US spokesperson that March. Since then, he has starred in several Volvo advertisements, and his latest ad shows just how he uses his Volvo XC60 to train for the court. The highlight is Lin shooting free throws out of the sunroof.
Since leaving the Knicks, Lin has lost some of the visibility and hype that attracted Volvo to him in the first place. Still, commercials must be made, so check out Lin's latest below.
Automakers want to stop the EPA's fuel economy rules change, and why that's a shortsighted move
Tue, Dec 6 2016With a Trump Administration looming, the EPA moved quickly after the election to propose finalizing future fuel economy rules last week. The auto industry doesn't like that (surprise), and has started making moves to stop the EPA. Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wanted to lobby Trump to lower the standards, and now the Auto Alliance, a manufacturer group, is saying it will join the fight against cleaner cars. The Alliance represents 12 automakers: BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota, VW, and Volvo. Gloria Bergquist, a spokesperson for the Alliance, told Automotive News that the "EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early - even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags - calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur." The EPA was going to consider public comments through April 2017, but then said it would move the deadline to the end of December. That means that it can finalize the rules before President Obama leaves office. The director of public affairs for the Consumer Federation of America, Jack Gillis, said on a conference call with reporters last week when the EPA originally announced its decision that it is unlikely that President Trump will be able to roll back these changes. Gillis also said on the same call that any attempt by the automakers to prevent these changes would be history repeating itself. "These are the same companies that fought airbags, and now promoting the fact that every car has multiple airbags," he said. "These are the same companies that fought the crash-test program, and now are promoting the crash-test ratings published by the government. So, it's clear that they're misperceiving the needs of the American consumer." There are more reasons the Allliance's pushback is flawed. Carol Lee Rawn, the transportation program director for Ceres, said on that call that the automotive industry is a global one, and many automakers are moving to global platforms to help them meet strict fuel economy rules around the world.
Watch this Volvo truck drive up a quarry road using hamster-powered steering
Fri, 13 Sep 2013Volvo Trucks has been producing some of the most interesting and thrilling commercials around as of late, and this new one involves a live hamster. While you may wonder how could a hamster and a dump truck could be exciting, just know this ain't a Kia Soul commercial: the Swedish truck company enlists the help of a hamster named Charlie to steer an FMX construction truck up a winding road in Ourence, Spain. From the bottom of a quarry. We are not kidding you.
All we ask is that you watch the commercial below to see how it all goes down. If you like what you see, you can then check out a bonus 'behind the scenes' video and press release for details about how Volvo Trucks prepared for the stunt.
