The time has come to sell my baby. I just don't have the time or space to finish what I started. For those of you not familiar with this car, it is a 300+ hp, AWD, 6-speed monster with the luxury and safety that Volvo is well known for. The color combination makes it even more rare!


My 2004 Volvo V70R wagon has been with us for about two years. I purchased it with about 185k miles on it, and it is a wonderful car. It was traded into a dealership I worked at, but I got the chance to meet the owner. He had purchased it at about 97,000 miles, and it was his daily driver. As an outside sales rep, he did a LOT of miles, all highway, and needed the car to be in TOP shape to make sure he could get to his appointments without fail.

The vehicle had many OEM parts installed while he owned it - power steering pump, rack, rear struts, fuel pump ass'y are highlights. He also took the liberty and pleasure of upgrading with $1,000's in tasteful and high quality aftermarket goodies. He fitted a Bell FMIC (front mount intercooler), with silicone piping, Eurosport stainless steel cat-back, upgraded hybrid turbo from Viva Performance, software tune from a RICA PPC handheld programmer, K&N drop in filter, drilled/slotted rotors, OZ Ultraleggeras with Michelin Pilot Sports, M1 Abrahms shift knob, and a boost/voltmeter gauge setup next to the radio inside. The car was also fitted with a Volvo OEM trailer hitch setup.

While driving on the highway, the vehicle stalled out. Unable to start, I towed the vehicle home. After checking compression,it had dropped to 60PSI. I removed the head and had it completely gone through by a machine shop. Two valves were slightly bent, so they were replaced, along with all the valve stem seals. The head was checked and cleaned, and reassembled, the valves were adjusted, and I reinstalled it, along with a brand new OEM timing belt kit, water pump, thermostat, and belt. I also checked and replaced the angle gear (common failure on these cars), with a brand new OEM angle gear. Once back together, the vehicle still had 60-70psi across the board, and after a leakdown test the prognosis was that the rings had given out. The verdict was a fresh bottom end rebuild, with the minimum being rings, maybe some pistons depending on what we found when we took it apart. I estimated the work (removing the engine and reinstalling it myself), accounting for machine work and new pistons, to be around $1500. This would be much less if the pistons could be used again. I also have access to a complete running used motor for $2000 - you could install this and sell the refurbished head, or swap the refurbished head on to the lower end and sell the stock head.

This was a VERY fast car, with over 320 HP at the wheels (dyno tested), manual transmission, all wheel drive, super comfortable, and safe. It really is the car that does everything. It won't take much to finish and when you do, it'll be good for another 200k miles. Aside from the bottom end work, the car doesn't need anything. The front struts are believed to be original, but did not seem worn and aren't leaking. The brakes are all in excellent order. The car comes with a set of almost new Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 snow tires. With these, the car was UNSTOPPABLE in the snow. The Michelin Pilot Sports are brand new (2) and about 500-1000 miles (2) - these are over $300/tires!

I considered parting the car out, but again, I'm short on time and space, and it's too rare and incredible a car to break into pieces. If you want one car to do it all, and have a blast doing it, look no further.

Happy bidding!

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?

Sun, Jul 9 2023

The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric.  Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands.  If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla.  Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor.  Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have:  Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.

Daimler and Volvo could jointly develop internal combustion engines

Sun, Jan 5 2020

BERLIN — Luxury German carmaker Daimler and Volvo, owned by China's Geely, are considering cooperating to cut the costs of developing combustion engines, a magazine reported on Sunday, citing unnamed company sources. The Automobilwoche weekly cited a Volvo manager as saying there were initial talks with Daimler, but no concrete plans, while a company spokesman said it was too early to talk about firm projects, although it was not excluding anybody. A Daimler spokesman said the company's cooperation with Geely, which owns a 10% stake in the German carmaker, was developing in a positive way, but declined to comment further. Global tariffs, accelerated by a trade war between China and the United States, as well as higher investment requirements for electric and autonomous vehicles, are forcing carmakers to seek new ways to cut and share costs. In October, Volvo said it would merge its engine development and manufacturing assets with those of Geely, creating a division to supply in-house brands and also potentially others with next-generation combustion and hybrid engines. Automobilwoche said this new division would start operating by the end of March, which could be a possible starting point for cooperation with Daimler, while a further step could be a partnership to develop electric power trains. Geely and Daimler have said they plan to build the next generation of Smart electric cars in China through a joint venture and the two companies are also cooperating on a premium ride-hailing service in China. Geely bought Volvo Cars in 2010 from Ford, allowing the Swedish brand to operate on an arms-length basis. But in recent years, it has deepened cooperation between the two brands. Volvo already supplies engines to some Geely-branded vehicles, sharing technology through Geely's Lynk brand. Both companies share and develop common vehicle platforms.
