Gorgeous ALL ORIGINAL, 2 Owner Volvo in Rare Color Combo

Here is a beautiful 1978 Volvo 245DL Wagon in awesome condition inside and out. This car is very special in several ways. It is a two female owner car which has always been garaged and well maintained. This low mileage Wagon comes in a beautiful Cherokee Red on red vinyl color scheme which really sets this vehicle off. These cars are few and far in between, especially in this condition. This is your chance to own a truly one of a kind automobile!

The car was bought new on 11-17-78 at Rock Road Motors of St. Louis, MO by Loretta Kelley and traveled only 11,000 miles while in her ownership, and was purchased out of her estate around 2001 by its second owners who retired to Tucson AZ around 2008 and brought Old Red with them. The previous owner took extensive care of the car and always garaged it over their 13 year love affair with this beauty. This car was her pride and joy and always received the best care and service at authorized Volvo shops. Don't miss your chance to own a very clean and solid '78 245DL.

The following is a list of options as this 245DL is currently equipped:

-Original 2.0L 4CYL Engine

-Optional 4 Speed Automatic Transmission

-Rare Ice Cold A/C

-Optional Roof Rack

-Original Volvo AM/FM Radio

-All 5 Matching Like New Bridgestone Tires

-Original Steel Wheels

The body on the car is in very good condition and was extremely well maintained. The paint on the car is finished in striking Cherokee Red and is in beautiful show condition. The paint is virtually perfect with only a few small chips as to be expected on a car that is meant to be driven. The car has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and is solid as a rock as any well cared for garaged car should be, and has never been in any accidents. The car is riding on original steel Volvo wheels and chrome trim rings with like new Bridgestone tires. All chrome trim is gorgeous, glass is all original, and rubber seals are in great shape.

The interior is all original condition all around. The dash is free of any cracks or fading. The rest of the interior is very nice condition with absolutely no cracks or damage. The supple red seats are all in very good condition and look like they have been very well preserved original examples. The carpets are all very nice are not worn or damaged and appear original. All dials and controls function as they should; all windows and rear hatch also are fully functional. All lights, gauges switches, and accessories work as they should. The trunk compartment is very clean and does have the original jack, the new matching spare tire and wheel which appear to never have touched the pavement! Also included is the original, complete, set of tools in bag!

Mechanically, this 245DL runs GREAT! The car starts right up and shifts smooth as silk. The 2.0L engine is very quick and responsive. It is reliable, easy to fix, and parts are readily available.The internal fuel pump was recently replaced along with the idle valve, in addition to a fresh radiator a couple years ago. The suspension is very tight and feels solid even at autobahn speeds above 70mph. The front rotors and brakes have been replaced followed by an alignment. The car was always regularly serviced and was indicated by the huge pile of receipts. The car just had the A/C serviced and had a tune-up!

The car also has manuals, service books, tool kit, and original Arizona copper plates!

All in all, this is one of the neatest Volvos that I have had the privilege of being associated with. It has been professionally maintained and truly loved by its previous owners. This 245DL is a fantastic car for the price. This is your chance to get a classic Volvo, which will only go up in value. The car also has a clean Arizona Title. Any further questions please call Jon at 480-703-2337. The car is located in Sunny Scottsdale, Arizona.

Volvo credits China, Europe for first-half profitability

Fri, 22 Aug 2014

If everything goes to plan, Volvo might be showing the first signs of a turnaround after several years coping with old products and a staid image. The Swedish brand is imminently launching its next-gen XC90 SUV on a completely revised, modular platform and using a cutting-edge family of engines, and it has even more products to take advantage of the fresh components on the drawing board. "We are excited about the launch of the all-new XC90, which marks the beginning of the re-launch of the Volvo brand," said CEO Håkan Samuelsson in the company's announcement. In the meantime, the business is moving back to profitability and is even forecasting growth through the rest of 2014.
In Volvo's recently released financial and sales results for the first six months of the year, volume was up 9.5 percent to 299,013 cars. On top of that, operating income reached 1.21 billion Swedish krona ($175 million) after posting a loss in the same period in 2013. Net income was also improved to 535 million Swedish krona ($77.4 million), which was also a reversal from a negative last year.
With these great results, Volvo is now forecasting 10 percent sales growth worldwide by the end of the year, and the key to it is a booming market in some regions. China, home to parent company Geely, was up 34.4 percent first half of the year. It's now Volvo's biggest market in the world and helped by exclusive models like the S60L (pictured above) and S80L. "We are growing our presence in China and we expect to sell at least 80,000 cars there this year," said Samuelsson in the company's forecast.

Hot rod tractor stars in Swedish version of Farmkhana

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The 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.

Scratch that new crossover, Volvo teases ad campaign for XC60

Sun, 26 May 2013

If we were to paraphrase the opening lines of Kenneth Graeme's Wind in the Willows for our own purposes, we'd write, "Have you heard about Volvo? They never planned a new crossover at all. It was all a horrid low trick of theirs...." To be fair, though, we can't blame them for our own presumption. When the Swedish car company created a site called LeaveTheWorldBehind.com and teased a couple of videos for some kind of collaboration with Swedish House Mafia, we thought the crossover in one of the teasers pointed to a new vehicle on the way.
Turns out that's not the case. It really is 'just' a collaboration with the band on a music video for Swedish artist Lune's cover of their 2009 song, Leave the World Behind.
But there are Volvos in it, and you can watch it below and hear original song alongside. We've also included the press release with more details on why it all came together, and a behind-the-scenes video on the collabo. To paraphrase Forrest Gump, "That's all we have to say about that."
