1979 Volvo 244GL 2.1

It's been a long time off eBay for me but I am back with a beautiful classic Volvo that I just got in.  I just took it out for a wash and a quick shoot and here is what we have.

Mainly original paint with some fading on rood and trunk lid.  Excellent patina for those looking for a cool, solid driver.  Interior door trays are cracked from age.  The odd minor rust and it has one bigger spot by lower driver side windshield.  This is NOT a rust bucket by any means.  It was driven and has some of the usual small, small spots but very, very clean and original for the year.  Runs and drives great.  A blast to drive!  Everything appears to be working.  The interior or neat and tidy, the seats show some wear but not all ripped or anything.  Driver seat has a different head rest.  The carpets are nice and the dash is in great shape.  Heat works excellent!  Has a decent JVC tape deck and sound (what else you need?).  The tires have lots of tread left, the alloys are original and correct.  The engine bay is clean and original and you can see that this car has been heavily undercoated in the past.  The trunk is nice, clean and complete with spare and tools.  I have all the original keys including some extras.  No books.  car runs great and handles like the brick it is.  Very solid and no funny noises or loose front end.  If you pay and set up a local mechanic to look over this Volvo I will gladly agree.  This old classic Volvo is ready to go for someone looking for a nice driver with some patina.  Not perfect by any means but a very nice complete, and original example!  

I have special dealer shipping rates.  Email, call or text me if you want a shipping quote.  Call If you have any questions or concerns you are always welcome to call me directly at 416.560.2001.  As you can see by my profile, I have been active on eBay a very long time selling cars at a very high rate of feedback.  Scroll through and see for yourself.  BUY WITH CONFIDENCE.  Most cars I have sold are sight, unseen to buyers all over and they're positive feedback is all there for you to see!  Please only bid or make an offer if you are serious, have funds in place and are 100% comfortable with your purchase.  Please ask all questions and do all due diligence and inspections PRIOR to bidding please.

Volvo demos autonomous self-parking car concept

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

A number of companies are developing autonomous vehicle technology - Google and Audi come to mind - but Volvo is applying its work in the area to a particular usage case: parking. The Swedish automaker has the technology up and running in a concept vehicle, which it says can be dropped off at the curb by its owner and left to its own devices to enter and navigate a car park, then find and park in an available parking spot. Volvo says the process can even be reversed when the owner is ready to go, with the car leaving the car park on its own to meet its key-holder again at the curb.
The vehicle first interacts with Vehicle 2 Infrastructure technology, which places transmitters in the road itself to inform the car (and driver) if the self-parking service is available. The driver then hops out, activates the Self Parking function on his or her smartphone and then leaves the car to do its work. The car uses sensors, all seemingly hidden from view (an advancement of its own in this field), to autonomously navigate the car park, which includes interacting and adjusting to other cars, people and objects.
The technology used here builds off of Volvo's other work in autonomous vehicle research, namely the Safe Road Trains for the Environment (SARTRE) project in which the company managed to create a train of four cars autonomously following a lead truck at speeds up 56 miles per hour. Volvo says the first application of its autonomous research in a production vehicle will happen at the end of 2014 with some level of autonomous steering available in the next-generation XC90.

China's Geely buying majority stake in Lotus

Wed, May 24 2017

Geely, the Hong Kong car company that owns Volvo, is acquiring control of British car company Lotus. Geely is purchasing a 51-percent stake in Lotus from struggling Malaysian car company Proton, and a 49.9 percent stake in Proton itself. Etika Automotive will gain the other 49 percent of Lotus. France's PSA Group and Japan's Suzuki had apparently also been interested in acquiring Proton. Geely says it plans to revive both Proton and Lotus. "The agreement lays the foundation for a wider framework for both Geely Holding, Proton and Lotus to explore joint synergies in areas such as research and development, manufacturing and market presence," Geely said in a news release. Those joint synergies will be highlighted by the lightweight chassis technology Lotus is known for, which could help Geely improve fuel efficiency. Geely CFO Daniel Donghui Li said the company aims to "unleash the full potential of Lotus Cars" by expanding and accelerating new products and technologies. Proton was nationally held but was privatized in 2007 to Malaysian conglomerate DRB-Hicom, which is owned by tycoon Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary. It was supposed to be the flagship for Malaysia's economic development.Though it owns two factories, Proton mainly rebadges foreign-made cars and sells them in Malaysia. What it has, what Geely presumably wants, is a distribution network in Southeast Asia to pit Chinese cars against Japanese automotive dominance in the region. Retaining a 50.1-percent stake in Proton is seen as a face-saving move. "Proton will always remain a national car and a source of pride, as Proton will still have a majority hold of 50.1 percent," Malaysian finance official Johari Abdul Ghani said. "Our very own much-loved brand now has a real chance in making a comeback, a huge one I hope." Related Video:
