1966 Volvo 122 S 1.8l on 2040-cars
Bellingham, Washington, United States
|
1966 Volvo 122. Car is in great condition for 48 years old. Not a show car, but a good clean driver/project. Not the type of vehicle for somebody who isn't mechanically inclined. Amazingly no rust. B18 rebuilt with FI B20 head with hardened valve seats to burn unleaded. Rare IPD Volvo aluminum valve cover. Electronic ignition. Alternator conversion. Smooth four speed with good working overdrive. IPD springs, sway bars, and poly bushings. Brakes gone through on all four corners. Door panels and dash recovered. Needs headliner installed (I have the headliner). Front seats are in OK condition, but are not original (green upholstery). Back seat in good condition. Needs a new carpet kit. Has center console with Volvo clock and the switch for the OD (not hooked up yet). Starts easily (although a little cold blooded) and runs like a swiss watch. Uses no fluids. Drives strait and true- will run down the highway at 75 all day. Has rare wide steel wheels. I have some misc. extra parts- set of good SU carbs with manifold, muffler (has glass pack on it now), tail light seals, etc… Hate to sell, but just don't drive it enough keep it. Ask any questions that I didn't cover here before bidding. Will NOT ship overseas. Shipping will be the responsibility of the buyer. $500 deposit due within 48 hours of auction end. I can store the car for a reasonable amount of time- but would like it gone within one month.

Apple CarPlay drawing early safety concerns [w/video]
Sun, 09 Mar 2014Apple's CarPlay infotainment system hasn't made it into a single vehicle yet, and it's already drawing criticism for distracting drivers among safety advocates. The new tech unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show pairs users' iPhones with the car's dashboard display to make calls, dictate messages and listen to music. Some automakers, like Volvo, also let users interact with the HVAC system from the screen.
"The idea that people want to be on their phones, and therefore let's give them a way to do that -- that's not putting safety first, that's putting convenience and the desire to be in touch first," said Bruce Hamilton, manager of research and communications at the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, to CNN Money.
Distracted driving is a huge concern on modern roads with more vehicles allowing drivers to use their smartphones through Bluetooth and infotainment systems. A Texas A&M study found that drivers' reaction time doubled while dictating text messages, according to CNN Money. The new tech is certainly not making drivers pay more attention.
Current Volvo XC90 to live on in China?
Fri, 28 Mar 2014The current, long-serving Volvo XC90 might not be going away as soon as we thought - at least not in China. According to word from CarNewsChina, the crossover's production will be moved to Daqing, China, in December and from that point on, be built at Geely's factory. The only available engine will be a 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder.
According to the report, the present XC90 and the imminent next-generation model will both be sold in the market, but the Chinese-made vehicle will be positioned as a cheaper alternative. Geely will also develop a crossover of its own from the platform that should be ready in late 2015.
Volvo plans to launch the new XC90 later this year to replace the aging model, which has been on the market for over a decade. It will ride on the company's new Scaleable Product Architecture platform and will be powered by the automaker's new Drive-E four-cylinder engine family. Hybrid versions will also be available.
Volvo 850 T5 R pickup conversion is ready for a cool yule
Mon, 10 Dec 2012There are plenty of ways to get your holiday tree home from the farm, but few are so classy as this Volvo 850 ute. Built in Sweden and shipped to Belgium, the car wears all of the necessary kit to pass as a 850R, and with a turbocharged 2.3-liter five cylinder under the hood, this creation should have no trouble dashing through the snow. Looks like a mighty fine use of an otherwise derelict Volvo wagon to us, though we have to imagine all that torque steer and no weight over the aft would make for all sorts of silliness once the roads went slick.
Still, if it were our Sawzall, we'd be happier with the keys to a certain BMW M5 utility in our pocket. Or, you know, the 3 Series conversion BMW whipped up not too long ago. You can head over to Autofans.be for a closer look at the 850 ute.
