GOTTA MAKE ROOM IN THE DRIVEWAY. I've got 7 cars. One other is for sale. I will keep the one that doesn't sell.

Becoming more and more rare, this 1986 Volvo 245 is in excellent condition for it's age. It does have 255K miles but runs strong. You could drive this car anywhere. It will easily go another 200K miles if taken care of. It is very clean.  Minor surface rust here and there but very minor and no rust through or rot.

It is a 4 speed w/overdrive manual which adds to the fun of this car.

CHECK OUT THAT CUP HOLDER!

I will probably forget what has been done to it but here are some:

Timing Belt and water pump at 253K miles. New Radiator. All belts replaced at the same time.

Recent tune up plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, air filter, synthetic oil, filter, Sea foamed.

New A/C condenser, R134 conversion. Blows decently cold for a Volvo.

Decent but not perfect paint job a couple of years ago.  I rate the paint/body at 8/10

Tinted windows.

IPD sways, newer shocks and struts, rear bushings.

High quality seat covers.

High quality all weather mats.

Aftermarket radio w/iPod and Pandora control.

Aftermarket keyless entry.

HID Euro Style "E" code headlights and front turn signals (a $400 conversion) Fog lights (dash switch conversion to operate when rear fog switch is turned on).

Side Markers, Daytime running light conversion, Third brake light flasher modification, extra brake light modification.

All interior trim and plastics in great condition. Dash cap on dash plus dash cover.

All interior lights work including cluster and console. Under hood mercury switch light even works.

Tailgate wiring harnesses replaced: everything works; defroster, wiper, washer. Both washer motors replaced.

I am always tinkering with the car since these old Volvos require that, so I may have made other improvements/mods/repairs that I can't think of.  Just ask.  No the clutch hasn't been changed since I owned her about 6 months.  Probably will need bushings in the front soon.  Very tight driving but sometimes there is a clunk that sounds like a worn bushing.  Doesn't affect drivability and I do not hesitate to take her anywhere.

This car is solid, clean, rare, looks great, runs great. Perfect for a collector, high school kid who wants a cool car, perfect surfer dude car if only we lived near the beach!

I would entertain offers with the stock wheels and generic hubcaps if the price seems too high.

Volvo Polestar celebrates STCC title with Black R edition S60, V60 and XC60

Sat, 21 Dec 2013

The relationship between Volvo and Polestar was forged - and forges deeper still - on the racetrack, where the latter fields the former's tin-top entries in the STCC, WTCC and V8 Supercars. And based on their success together in touring-car racing, Volvo has had Polestar amp up a number of its production road cars. What we have here is the latest.
This year Volvo and Polestar dominated the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship, taking both the drivers' and manufacturers' titles. So to celebrate, Polestar has rolled out a new Black R package for the S60 sedan, V60 wagon and XC60 crossover.
The package includes an upgrade to 329 horsepower for the T6 engine and to 230 hp for the D5, and further enhances with special wheels, a dropped suspension, special sport seats and more. Unfortunately the package is only being offered in Sweden, but you can scope out the details in the press release below and the photos in the gallery above.

Volvo will replace C70... eventually

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Volvo has already announced the end of production for its C70 hardtop convertible, a handsome but seriously dated offering that was last refreshed in 2010. Volvo won't be abandoning the two-door coupe-convertible market for long, though, as news out of Australia claims that a replacement, based on the striking Concept Coupe, will join the Chinese-owned, Swedish brand's ranks, although it's unclear precisely when we'll see it on the road.
"Eventually yes... as soon as possible," Hakan Samuelsson, Volvo's CEO, told the Drive, before adding, "when we are ready."
"The Coupe Concept car, we can put that into production and it will have an exposure on the brand. But at the end it's the cream on the cake and at the end you need the cake first before you put the cream on it," said Volvo's Senior Vice President of Product Strategy and Vehicle Line Management, Lex Kerssemakers.

Ex-Volvo boss Stefan Jacoby to head GM's international operations

Fri, 02 Aug 2013

He was too talented not to surface somewhere, we just didn't know where and when. Nine months ago, Stefan Jacoby stepped down from his post as Volvo CEO, a move that caught many off guard. At the time, the separation was called "amicable," but word is that the strong-willed executive clashed with owners Geely and the automaker's board.
Jacoby will have a new set of challenges on his hands, as he has just been named Executive Vice President Consolidated International Operations for General Motors. That means the Hannover-born Jacoby will head up the company's operations in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Middle East, where he will be responsible for over 100 countries and territories. Jacoby succeeds Tim Lee, who has been named chairman of GM China. Lee will also retain his post as Executive Vice President Global Manufacturing.
Jacoby's dealings with Geely should help him in his Asian market duties, but he also counts time as the head of Volkswagen of China on his resume, so he's very well-versed in the market's peculiarities.
