1970 Volvo 164 on 2040-cars
Carmel, Indiana, United States
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. |

Lotus could be sold to Chinese automaker Geely
Mon, Feb 20 2017Two things are constant throughout the history of Lotus Cars: amazing vehicles, and financial struggles. Frequent changes in both ownership and leadership have left the company's future up in the air. And while the new management has improved quality and set a new product plan in place, its seems that Lotus could have a new parent company soon. Despite comments to the contrary, Chinese automaker Geely is rumored to be interested in acquiring Lotus Cars. The British automaker has been owned by Proton since 1996, but after Proton was sold to DRB-Hicom in 2012 investors suggested selling off Lotus. The Star Online reports that PSA in France is rumored to be looking at purchasing Proton cars from DRB-Hicom. In turn, Geely, the parent company of Volvo, is interested in purchasing Lotus from Proton. The report states that Geely has no interest in mass-market vehicles from Proton, while crossover-focus PSA, owner of Peugeot and Citroen, has no interest in a sports car manufacturer like Lotus. China has been encouraging its native automakers to purchase and acquire technology it lacks. Buying Lotus looks like it would benefit both companies. Lotus needs an influx of cash while Geely, looking to compete further on the global stage, would gain a great deal of technical and engineering knowledge from Lotus. Geely's stewardship of Volvo has been mostly hands-off, while giving the Swedish company enough money to invest in new platforms and technologies. If the same were to happen to Lotus, Colin Chapman's company could have its best years ahead of it.

Wed, Mar 16 2016Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:
