'88 Metallic Blue, 5 Speed Manual Transmission, 138,000 Miles, Very Clean on 2040-cars
Harrison, New York, United States
|
Car starts every time, runs well, no smoke or colored exhaust. I put about 12K miles on the car since I bought it in March '13 from Oskuie Service Center, Inc who specialize in Volvos. I have used Mobil One oil and changed the oil every 3K. Fun car to drive. I had a 242GT when I was in High School and College and I bought this as a project. I have really enjoyed this car, but my kids have been giving me grief about driving an "old car." When I bought it, I thought my son, who turns 16 next month, would really like to drive it - but he is doesn't get it. What I have done (about 6.5K in total invested): New Voxx wheel and Michelin Primacy MXV4 (195/60 HR 15) tires in April '13 (approximately 12K on them). New Michelin X-Ice Xi3 snow tires used only winter 13/14. New Kenwood KDC-BT755HD car radio with Pioneer Speakers - bluetooth radio with remote, SeriusXM and Pandora. Car re-sprayed factory Metallic Dark Blue in April '13. New alternator in June '13. New spare tire March '13.
Issues: The a/c stopped working last summer. A/c was serviced and converted to r134a before I bought the car. I don't know what it will take to get it working. Never brought the car in to get an estimate. Drove back from the Cape last December in a nasty rain storm and had an issue with the engine hesitating at a certain rpm. After I got home, I changed the spark plugs and the car ran fine. Since then I have noticed a couple of hesitations - nothing that disables the car or causes it to stall. It is like a hiccup every once in a while. Driver's front seat adjustment large knob off - can use the small knob to adjust seat. Missing the coin tray between seats but I have used that space as a cup holder for coffee/drinks. |

Two more Volvo Concept C Coupe teasers drop [w/videos]
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Volvo is planning to take the wraps off its Concept C Coupe tomorrow ahead of an official unveiling at the Frankfurt Motor Show. If you just can't wait until then, though, Volvo has released two more teaser videos for the new concept.
Like the video from earlier in the week, we get a couple more sneak peeks of the stylish two-door including our first glimpse of the interior. The highly conceptual concept likely hints at a future coupe for the Swedish automaker, and after dropping the C30 and C70 from its lineup over the last couple years, this can't come soon enough. Scroll down to watch both new teaser videos, and stay tuned to see more on this car tomorrow.
Volvo reveals 400-hp twin-charged PHEV power for new XC90 [UPDATE]
Tue, 08 Jul 2014UPDATE: An earlier version of this post indicated that the larger of the conventional diesel engines was a five-cylinder. However all three powertrains announced for the upcoming new XC90 are actually four-cylinder engines. The text has been updated accordingly.
Volvo rolled in to new territory when it introduced the original XC90 back in 2002, creating its first SUV and one of its top-selling models. But that was 12 years ago. In the meantime it's followed up with the smaller XC60, but what the brand faithful and the industry at large have been looking forward to most is the arrival of the new XC90.
Previewed by the Concept XC Coupe at the Detroit Auto Show, the new XC90 is set to arrive later this year, but to keep us on our toes, the Swedish automaker has been steadily trickling out a stream of information and photos. Two months ago it gave us a glimpse inside the cabin, and last month it revealed its new infotainment system, but now Volvo has released details on the upcoming new XC90's powertrain.
Hot rod tractor stars in Swedish version of Farmkhana
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Nordic countries are known for their beautiful fjords, blonde-haired populace and bitter cold for a good portion of the year. The hours spent indoors during the dark, cold season apparently gives a lot of time for some crazy brainstorming. Tire store chain Vianor is highlighting the Traktor Terror in a new video. If Ken Block is the master of Gymkhana, then these guys know all about Farmkhana in their custom, turbocharged tractor.
According to the YouTube description from Vianor, the tractor is a 1956 Volvo BM Terrier with an added roll cage, adjustable front suspension and extended frame. The engine is thoroughly Swedish, and it's based on a Volvo 940 Turbo with a Volvo 240 head and Volvo 740 intercooler. However, it uses a Saab turbo Prospark ignition and fuel system. All told, the setup is claimed to make 225 horsepower and is capable of a top speed of 60 miles per hour.
That's not crazy power, but this tractor can certainly put it down. The farm machine has no problem smoking those big rear wheels and drifts easily.... although, it may be a tiny little bit unstable (hence the roll cage). If nothing else, this looks like the world's most fun way to be a farmer, that's for sure.
