1997 Volvo 854 T-5M
After 5 wonderful years of Volvo ownership, My car must be passed on to another Volvo enthusiast. It will be missed as a dear friend... This car although drivable and reliable needs work and is to be considered a project car. It has been my project since 2009. In order for it to pass inspection it will need at the minimum rear brake rotors, pads, and calipers, rear tires, passenger rear trailing arm. It has a lot of little flaws as expected with a 17 year old car. Starting with It leaks oil, approx 1 qt a month but its enough to leave an oil spot, occasional blue smoke on startup depending on how long it sits, alignment is slightly off, almost every body panel has paint flaws, chips, scratches, dents, etc., hood latch release behind the grille is broken, rear passenger door has an indent from a rock, passenger side skirt is broken in front of rear wheel. Interior is your typical late 90's 850, some pieces are broken, missing. Interior was ratty and leather was cracked so the front seats and carpet were changed, Dash was cracked and replaced with a black cover. The lower rear was removed, Headliner was dirty and replaced with a plaid sheet of material but now sagging, The front valance was cabinet trim but was scraped so I removed it for the winter months. A/C still works and blows cold and the heat works well but sometimes it has a slight coolant smell (common) It has the stock ECU and it runs rich and doesn't have "rev-hold" so it may seem a little jerky while decelerating. The BOV is not connected as that was a failed project and did not work with the stock diverter valve. Hopefully I have covered most of its flaws. For the most part I have kept up on most of its common issues. The PCV and catch can as well as the throttle body have been recently cleaned, replaced fuel pump and relay, timing belt was done approx 50k ago. The turbo spools up as it should, doesn't leak or blow smoke, Struts, mounts, spring seats, springs, subframe bushings and lower control arms were changed approx 20k ago. Transmission gear oil has been changed with amsoil gl5 approx 20k and have run rotella T5-T6 since I've owned it. Recently the radiator cracked and it now has brand new radiator and coolant. Most of the pics are from last summer, currently it has stock T-5 16" colombias. The 18" S60R wheels DO NOT come with this sale, They have been sold. Its sitting on B&G lowering springs with a decent stance. The mileage is unknown, I purchased it with 192K and broken odometer and replaced the gauges with an s70 cluster. I would guess its mileage is close to 300K. It starts as it should, idles smooth and accelerates hard, plenty of power enough to break tires loose. The Manual swap and exhaust opened this car right up. Not only more powerful in all the right areas, also more efficient and ultimately a real joy to drive. Mods: Lowered B&G springs M56L Manual swap OEM volvo clutch, Still feels new 3" turbo back exhaust, Sounds great 6000K HID's Reverse intercooler piping / Functional but could use work S70 gauge cluster Black/Tan interior 35% tint It kills me to let this car go, I have put a lot of time into it but its time to move on.. With the right amount of work and maintenance this can be an awesome car and can still last a long time. It is drivable but is not inspected so drive away at your own risk or tow. The last few pics are how it currently looks and includes the stock radio with code. Thanks for looking and hopefully you will enjoy this Volvo as much as I have... Cheers |

Volvo Concept XC Coupe is ready to hit the slopes
Tue, 14 Jan 2014There's something inescapably right about a Swedish car with a set of skis on its roof. It doesn't matter if it's a Jurassic-era Volvo Amazon, a Saab 900 Turbo, or even a Koenigsegg Agera R. Surely it's some sort of Scandinavian birthright... right along with immaculate complexion. The latest to carry on that tradition in fine form? The Volvo Concept XC Coupe, just released at this week's Detroit Auto Show.
The two-door, four-seat XC Coupe rolled onto stage here at Cobo pre-outfitted with a matching ski box, looking sharp on its 21-inch wheels. According to Volvo, the box isn't an afterthought - in fact, the XC Coupe's design itself was "inspired by modern sports equipment."
As for the rest of the concept's genetic makeup, at this point, we don't have much to go on. Volvo has admitted that the XC Coupe rides atop its new boron-steel-intensive Scalable Product architecture, but it has declined to outline any sort of powertrain details. We're not sure if this showcar has any production future, but we do expect for its design language to inform the next-generation XC90 crossover.
Chevy Malibu Hybrid wins 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year
Thu, Jan 21 2016From the Washington Auto Show today, Green Car Journal's Ron Cogan announced three different fuel-efficient vehicle awards. They were: 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year: Chevy Malibu Hybrid 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year: Volvo XC90 T8 2016 Green SUV of the Year: Honda HR-V The Volvo was nominated in two categories, but it did not win the Connected Green Car of the Year. Speaking of non-winners, the other green SUV finalists were the BMW X1 XDrive28i, Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-3, and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. The other Luxury Green Car finalists included the BMW x5 xDrive40e, Lexus RX 450h, Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid, and the Mercedes-Benz C350e. Finally, the Audi A3 e-tron, BMW 330e, Toyota Prius, and Volvo XC90 T8 were the runners up for Connected Green Car. 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year, Luxury Green Car of the Year Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has announced the winners of its prestigious 2016 Green Car Awards at a press conference held today during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day in Washington DC. Distinguished as 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year™ is Volvo's new XC90 T8. The Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid tops the field as 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year™ and Honda's HR-V earns Green Car Journal's 2016 Green SUV of the Year™. "These are stand-out vehicles in an increasingly sophisticated and appealing field of 'green' cars," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "To make the cut as a finalist is a real achievement in itself considering the considerable competition in the market today. Rising to the top as award winners means these three exceptional vehicles set a benchmark in the auto industry's effort to create vehicles that are desirable and efficient, while also achieving environmental milestones so important for our driving future." The Green Car Awards are a key feature of The Washington Auto Show, the "public policy show" on the auto show circuit and one that puts a priority on safety and sustainability. "We are extremely proud of our partnership with Ron Cogan, whose eagerly anticipated suite of awards help shape the national conversation on the innovations that will drive our industry and country forward," said Geoff Pohanka, chairman of The Washington Auto Show.
What's the deal with comedians and their cars?
Mon, May 22 2017'Round about the time in his life when it should happen for all of us, Jerry Seinfeld's ship came in with a force that almost split the dock. He'd been doing pretty well with his observational style ("There's a cereal now that's just cookies. Have you seen this? Cookies for breakfast. It's called Cookie Crisp. Cookies for breakfast! They oughta just call it 'To Hell With Everything!'"). But he showed no signs of setting the world on fire until he got cast in a show that was either about – depending on the level of comedy geek you ask – the average New Yorker, the very worst people in the world, or nothing. Suddenly Jerry Seinfeld was pretty much the center of the comedy universe. And while his comedy was at once both brilliantly innovative and rooted in the mundane, his next move was a predictable grab at something exotic – he went out and bought his dream car. A rather nice 911, actually. As almost everyone knows, it didn't stop there, and the man put together one of the most enviable collections of iconic Porsches we're likely to see. So what's the connection, if there is one, between cars and comedy? As far as Jerry Seinfeld (the man) is concerned, he's probably not the same guy as the Jerry on Seinfeld (the show) although it's hard to say for sure; his public persona is almost unnervingly well managed. But cars and comedy were the constants in his life then, and, well, just look at what the guy does now; Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is a cultural constant, and we're certainly seeing Seinfeld the man in that one, and cars are obviously still central to his life. And it's been that way with a lot of very, very good comedy guys. Cars seem to round out their lives, to become the yin to their comedy yang. Ernie Kovacs might not have invented visual gags or surreal humor, but he got them both to kill on television in the 1950s, so he's a comedy hero. He died behind the wheel of his beloved Corvair wagon, so he's absolutely some kind of car-guy hero as well. Bill Cosby, the hottest name in comedy for a good long while, had Ferraris, one of two fire-breathing supercharged big-block Cobras (pictured below), and a BMW 2002tii – none of which either contributed to or in any way make up for the profoundly sociopathic creature he turned out to be, but it's still a data point. The Smothers Brothers, who defied the networks and the norms by getting blatantly political before that sort of thing was cool, went sports car racing.
