1981 Bone Stock Original Volvo 244 Dl / Always Garaged / Museum Condition!!! on 2040-cars
Temecula, California, United States
|
I am selling my beloved 1981 VOLVO 244 DL. This DL is perhaps the nicest you will ever see. I bought it from a lady here in San Diego. She bought it when she was 50 and let it go when she was 81. The Volvo traveled only 30 miles per day when she owned it. To and from work for 31 years. She told me the furthest it ever went was 50 miles. My wife and I were lucky enough to buy it last year for her to go back and forth to work. She loved, garaged and carefully maintained the Volvo just as the original owner had done. This Volvo has been garaged its entire life. The previous owner had custom seat covers made for both the front seats. They are in perfect condition and so are the original front seat covers. If you notice in the pictures the PO even made leather hand grips on the drivers side interior door so as to not ruin the original grips. I have a detailed letter from her ( 81 years old ) that I will pass on to the winning bidder describing the Volvo and the years she owned it since new. The Volvo is Museum quality in my opinion. The original paint is in fantastic condition, interior is a 10 out of 10. There are no dents, there is no rust, the undercarriage is in great condition with no leaks, the 4 cylinder B21f ENGINE runs perfect, the Volvo transmission is in perfect running condition also, trunk is flawless, great tires, no issues with electrical, everything on this Volvo works perfectly. AC is cold, heater works perfect. Everywhere we go in this Volvo people stop to have a closer look. It is a time capsule and looks new inside and out. The pictures pretty much speak for themselves. The Volvo was always properly maintained and as a result runs perfect. IF your looking for a classic Volvo 244 and want to drive the closest thing to a new one from back then in 1981 then you should try and win this auction. It has been an honor to have owned it for the past year. I collect a variety of classics but am selling this one since my wife just bought a Toyota Avalon and has decided to go with a newer vehicle. Volvo's are very tough, run forever and are extremely comfortable to drive. They also get great fuel mileage ( approx. 25 mpg ). I do have receipts that I will pass along to the winning bidder. The Volvo is currently garaged and is NOT being driven. I have set the reserve fairly in my opinion based on the rarity and condition of this DL. It ain't cheap though so if your looking for a ''beater'' then don't bother to bid. This vehicle is either for a collector, a museum or someone who wants a classic Volvo to travel around in. I will answer all questions and post the answers on Ebay for everyone to see. I do have extra pics and can take other pics if you need some. Just email and let me know. Thanks. Globalvu3nn3.

Volvo studying test of electric roads in Sweden
Tue, 27 May 2014Volvo already announced the results of a study of wireless charging using a stationary C30, and now it's embarking on a more ambitious study of wireless charging involving moving city buses. Next year, in conjunction with the Swedish Transport Association, Volvo will build a section of electric road up to 500 meters long that would use inductive charging to refill the batteries while the bus drives over it.
Right now, the company's Hyper Bus diesel hybrid has to stop to plug in and charge at the end of its route. The company is looking for a way to keep buses in service while being able to run on electric power for greater lengths of time. The new line used for the study will be called ElectriCity, and will come online in central Gothenburg sometime in 2015. There's a press release below with more information.
Polestar looking to tune Volvo CUVs
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Volvo is getting serious about emerging from the fringes and into the mainstream of the luxury automobile market. But if it's going to challenge the Germans, it's going to need a performance line. And that's just what it's developing with Polestar.
Building on the motorsport partnership that has seen Polestar represent Volvo in the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship, World Touring Car Championship and V8 Supercars series, Polestar has been charged with developing road-going performance Volvos as well. It currently offers comprehensively tuned versions of the S60 and V60, as well as engine upgrades for other models, but the latest word has it that Polestar will turn its attention next to tuning Volvo crossovers like the XC60 and the new XC90, pictured above in top-spec R-Design trim.
Details on how Volvo would modify those models remain to be determined, but it wouldn't be much of a stretch to imagine the XC60 outfitted with similar enhancements to those offered on its sedan and wagon stablemates to mount a challenge to the Audi SQ5. As for the larger XC90, it seems Volvo is already squeezing as much out of its new 2.0-liter triple-charged inline-four as it can, but more aggressive handling, aero and brakes could stand to transform the flagship crossover in pursuit of performance utes like the Mercedes ML63 AMG and BMW X5 M, even if it couldn't quite match their impressive horsepower outputs.
Volvo teases mysterious new small crossover
Thu, 16 May 2013The image you see above is just about all we know of the new Volvo crossover that will be revealed at 8:30 pm Central European Time on May 17 (2:30 pm Eastern Standard Time). Volvo released three very short video teasers, all with the tagline "Leave The World Behind," all of which feature a member of the now-defunct band Swedish House Mafia - Axwell sits in a boat in the first, Sebastian Ingrosso walks toward cabin in the second and Steve Angello stares at the sea in a third.
A microsite, www.leavetheworldbehind.com, accompanies the teasers and it's been said that a short film by Lune will feature the band - Swedish Mafia had a hit in 2009 with the song Leave the World Behind. As for the vehicle, theories are that it could be something between the V40 Cross Country and XC60, the new XC90 or something else entirely. We don't have long to wait, and you can watch both teasers below.
