1970 Volvo 164 on 2040-cars

This is a good daily driver. There has been a repaint at some time before I purchased the car. It is fair but the engine bay and door jams were not sprayed. The motor is the original B30A with twin Zenith-Stromberg 175CD. The motor runs well, it does need some adjustment to the manual choke for improved cold starts. The 3 speed Borg-Warner automatic transmission is, well, the 3 spd BW and a little doggy. The transmission likely needs work but has not let me down. I drive the car 50 miles daily. New tires (5,000 miles) on rare 780 Bertone series wheels. I do have the original steel wheels and caps included with car. The interior is original. The previous owner had the leather seats reconditioned and re-dyed. The carpet has also been re-dyed. Overall the interior is in good shape for 44 years. All dash gauges and components work. The Original volvo radio in place and functional with the exception of being able to tune the lower end of the dial. There has been some body work in the past. I suspect body filler on the rear quarters. I do not have the history however. The car is registered with the Swedish 164 Registry - additional historic information on the car may be available with some detective work. I have owned the car for a year and enjoyed daily use while my '72 164E w/ M410-OD has gotten it's rebuild. I had originally intended to restore both cars but that option no longer seems practical and I am not willing to scavenge parts from this car. |

Volvo aligning model range into three families
Thu, 28 Aug 2014Things have been slow in Gothenburg the past few years, but they're picking up speed. The only new model Volvo has released in the past four years since it was taken over by Geely - that being the V40 introduced in 2012 - started its development when the company was still under Ford's umbrella. But now the Swedish automaker is preparing to launch a volley of new models, and the new XC90 is only the starting point.
Volvo has set out to align its product portfolio into three model families - 40, 60 and 90 - each with three body-styles: sedan, wagon and crossover. (Volvo presented a tidy little table, which we've replicated below, to outline what it has in store.) That means a new S40 sedan and XC40 crossover as well as a replacement for the current V40 wagon, all to be based on a new platform shared with Geely. It also means replacements for the current S60, V60 and XC60 to be based on the modular SPA platform that underpins the new XC90, as well as a new S90 sedan to replace the S80 and a new V90 wagon to succeed the V70 and move it up-market above the V60.
All of these models are set to arrive within the next four years as Volvo moves to replace its entire lineup by 2019 and subsequently move to more competitive seven-to-eight-year product life-cycles. But as aggressively as Volvo is pursuing this renewal of its core models, they're not the only things Gothenburg has in store. Keep reading below to learn how Volvo's model line will flesh out over the coming years.
Volvo confirms unnamed US model reveal for NY show
Thu, 21 Mar 2013Tucked into the press release for the "display debut" of the Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid at the New York Auto Show, Volvo snuck in a single line announcing that it will also be introducing a new model for the North American market. As much as we'd love to see the svelte V40 on American roads, we're pretty sure the automaker is looking to fill its US station wagon void with the V60.
The 2014 Volvo V60 is part of a comprehensive lineup update that was unveiled earlier this month in Geneva, and it would give Volvo dealers a conventional wagon (not including the XC70) for the first time since the V70 and V50 were killed off. We'll still be keeping our fingers crossed for the stylish V40 hatchback or the fuel-efficient V60 diesel hybrid, but we have to wait until next week to find out for sure.
Watch Polestar talk about the development of its super S60
Fri, 03 May 2013Polestar is getting ready to deliver its first production car, the Volvo S60 Polestar. Letting the S60 stretch its legs, Polestar Racing driver Robert Dahlgren took the blue sedan from Barcelona, Spain to Jokkmokk, Sweden - stopping for wet-weather testing in Germany along the way.
Dahlgren narrates the journey of the "pilot project" that has 350 horsepower and around 368 pound-feet of torque, and will perhaps be the first in an era of hardcore Volvo production cars. It will go on sale in Australia this Summer, with other markets "under investigation." While we non-Aussies wait with fingers crossed, there's a video below to enjoy.
