Up for bid is a fully restored (ground up) Volvo 240 wagon with 15,000 miles since rebuild. I bought this car 4 years ago as a temporary driver but the body was so clean and sound (and my wife fell in love with it) that we decided to build a new car rather than buy one. Regardless what mileage we found when shopping for a 240, they still needed something or we were unsure what had been done and when, by whom, parts brands, etc. Car has a clean South Dakota title - we spend the summers with my inlaws (they are in their 80's) so the car is garage stored in Toledo and only driven when we're here in the summer months. We're shortly losing our storage and are moving ourselves so there is no room for a 3rd car. This is the ONLY reason we are selling this.
Body was stripped to a shell (glass and all) and repainted. A later style (93) rear hatch with flush mount glass, new rear side glass flush seals, new windshield, power windows and power heated mirrors were added. Black turbo body moldings, trims, handles and hinges were also added. Rare snow caps on the cowl vents. New OE Cibie tail lamps and e-code European glass headlamps (with Expel protectant film) were installed. Side markers also added. Tint is 35% front; 15% sides. If for any reason your state does not allow this, I will have it removed before pick up. I do not notice it as being too dark in any way or at any time - reduces glare, cools the interior, keeps things from being sun baked and interior items from being seen. Also included is a new front plate bracket if needed.
Every bushing on the car was replaced with OE Volvo brand (no cheap chi-com garbage). Ipd sways were added. A completely new 2 1/2" exhaust from front to back including a catalytic converter, resonator and muffler was installed. All new brakes, brake lines, calipers and rotors. All new wheel bearings, Boge-Sachs front and rear shocks/struts, upper strut mounts (Volvo OE). Ball joints, tie rod ends, and new steering rack.
The motor is a 1993 B230 that was rebuilt to new specs. A T-cam was added (stock Volvo turbo) for better low end power. Head gasket is a tight squish Cometic which increases the compression ratio and allows for lower octane fuel usage with no adverse side effects. A 93 AW70 transmission was also overhauled and installed. All new mounts and u-joints. Of course all new hoses, belts, timing belt, tensioner, and seals. Both the chassis fuel pump and intank pump are new Bosch. Intank is the larger capacity (turbo) upgrade. The cast boss on the block for an oil return was drilled, tapped and plugged for an easier upgrade to turbo if ever so desired. Fuel injection was upgraded to LH 2.4. Injectors were all new/rebuilds. Battery is 2 yrs old.
Completely new AC system - 1993 style. R134a and is COLD. New condenser, compressor, accumulator, pressure switch, o-rings and hoses. Power steering pump is the later, more efficient style. Alternator is a 100A Bosch unit. Headlamps are H4 styled and wired with relays for the direct (55w) upgrade.
The interior is black cloth from a 1993. The black cloth with the dark blue exterior looks incredible - a combo Volvo never offered. Newer crack free dash. Rubber mats all around. Sony CD/mp3 player with aux jack (for ipod). Boston Acoustic Pro speakers in the front doors with a custom tweeter mount behind the mirror covers. Lighted power window switches (ala 960), a new blower motor, and heater valve. Instrument cluster was completely rebuilt with custom (in a Volvo OE style) gauge faces, and fitted for LEDs. You've never seen a 240 dash light up this good! It reads the mileage from the car's rebuild: 15,000 and counting.
Car sits on Volvo Nova 15" alloys wrapped in 195/65R15 Pirelli P6's with just over 5k on them. Rides and handles like a dream - by far the nicest 240 I have ever seen. We get complements everywhere we go with it.

Volvo's Geneva-bound concept wagon looks sexy in a raincoat
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Volvo is set to complete its concept car trilogy at the next month's Geneva Motor Show with the debut of its Concept Estate, the followup to its Concept Coupe from the Frankfurt Motor Show and Concept XC Coupe from the Detroit Auto Show. We've been looking forward to its Swiss debut, and now some teaser images of the Concept Estate have been uncovered... on the website of a raincoat seller?
Yes, Swedish raincoat maker Stutterheim has apparently been commissioned by Volvo to build a high-quality car cover for its Geneva concept, and the fabricator's website shows off some of the details of the long-roofed design study. From what we can see, it looks like the Concept Estate is more shooting brake than traditional wagon. Also, it's brown. So basically, Volvo has built the ultimate car for auto journalists.
Joking aside, the images show off more than a few of the design traits we've seen on Volvo's two previous concept cars. A wide, rectangular grille and lowercase-B-shaped taillights are both noticeable in these teasers, but we can't see much more than that.
Volvo confirms return of the wagon with V60 headed to US
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Turns out that promised new production Volvo model for the United States is indeed the V60 wagon, as we had previously predicted. And it's not terribly surprising, as Volvo has a long and storied history of wagon sales in the US, from the old, loveable 240 to the more recent high-performance V70R. And yet the automaker hasn't had a proper non-XC, non-crossover-style wagon in the US since it pulled the V70 away at the end of the 2010 model year.
"The new Volvo V60 is for people who want the handling of a dynamic sports sedan but need the versatility of a wagon," says Volvo, highlighting the reason many of us on the Autoblog team harbor such fondness for wagons in general.
Volvo is currently showing off the R-Design package for its entire model line, including the V60, at the New York Auto Show. We don't know for sure if the V60 will launch with the R-Design package or if it will come at a later date, and we also see no mention of a Polestar edition, though we're hopeful.
Volvo S80 nip/tuck spotted in China
Sun, 16 Dec 2012An early look at the new face of the Volvo S80 has made its way to the web. The Chinese site Auto Sina spotted a revised version of the country's S80L out in public and in plain view. Not too long ago, Doug Speck, the global head of marketing and sales for Volvo, said designers were working on a mild facelift for the S60 and S80, and while it is possible the Swedish manufacturer will roll out a different front fascia for the US market, the move seems unlikely.
The S80L seen here boats a tweaked grille and a Passat-inspired lower valance. New wheels and side-view mirrors also appear to be part of the update, as does a modified rear bumper and exhaust outlets. Volvo is set to debut the facelifed S80 next year, and while the manufacturer hasn't delivered an exact time frame, good money is on the vehicle showing up at the Detroit Auto Show in January or the Geneva Motor Show in March. Stay tuned for more information.
