I worked at the Volvo factory Torslana in Goteborg and helped build the 79 and 80's. Spent the next 35 years as a heavy equipment mechanic. Now I am retired and resurrect these 240's as a hobby. This car ( Curtis is it's name ) belonged to a little old lady who donated it to a local charity. The young lady who bought it never checked the oil. Ruined the motor. I could not see it go to the crusher. So I.Built a new motor including new injectors,serviced and resealed the trans. I installed new shocks and struts, upper strut bearings, ball joints,tie rods, brakes ,including master cylinder,u-joints . New battery, hoses,belts, wipers. etc. Many other new parts and repairs not listed. The odometer had stopped shortly before I got it at 135000, so it has been replaced with one that works showing 68,800. miles. The Michelin tires are 90 %. Recent alignment. The original clock and stereo/cassette player work (( 1979 Grateful Dead concert tape included )) Solid exhaust,heater ,washers. . The seats are sound and the tipping latches work. They are not ripped but faded,thus the Jaguar seat covers .It has only the one rust hole ,the rest is very solid. The doors don't sag or rattle. no drips.Starting bid is equal to what I spent on it. I have too many Volvos ,not enough space. This car is ready to drive anywhere Questions 208-899-5946 happy bidding |

Jaguar turns down offers to join V8 Supercars, questions AMG, Volvo participation
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Rumors have swirled in recent weeks that Jaguar may be the next manufacturer to join the V8 Supercars racing series, made popular in Australia but now well-known in other parts of the world as well. Sadly, Jag's participation is not to be. In fact, it would be "insane," according to Jaguar Land Rover Asia Pacific Managing Director David Blackhall, for it to accept either of the two offers it has received to bring Jaguar into V8 Supercars.
Not only is Jaguar not interested in entering V8 Supercars, says Blackhall, it also fails to understand the recent entries from AMG and Volvo. "I don't know what it does for AMG to get flogged by a V8 Commodore week after week, but it's their brand, their issue. And the same thing will happen to Volvo to be honest."
Judging by Blackhall's statements to motoring.com.au, after not-so-serious consideration, the automaker decided the monetary commitment it would take to compete for wins would be more than any potential exposure would be worth, despite the fact that Jaguar has a 5.0-liter V8 to go along with what would seem to be a tailor-made rear-wheel-drive chassis. For what it's worth, one offer would have had Jaguar putting its name across an engine made by someone else, an option that was flatly turned down.
Volvo Concept Coupe is brand's 'next-generation P1800' [w/video]
Wed, 28 Aug 2013
Volvo is calling the Concept Coupe its "next-generation P1800."
The teasing can now officially come to an end - Volvo has released all the images, videos and details on its new Concept Coupe, and we're intrigued. The Swedish automaker is calling the concept its "next-generation P1800," and those are some pretty big shoes to fill. Fortunately, it's not all talk; there are clear links to Volvo's much-loved coupe in its shape, though we certainly wouldn't call the Concept Coupe 'retro.'
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.
