1989 Project Car Volvo 740 Sedan Gray Cloth Restoration Parts Movie Runs Drives on 2040-cars
Bellflower, California, United States
|
Up for NO RESERVE auction is a complete running 1989 Volvo 740. This car was purchased many years ago at a lein sale auction and it has been parked at my Volvo shop for many years. We have used it for training and slow day work so there are some things such as the timing belt that have been replaced over the years. Overall though it has been parked outdoors and looks it; it would make an excellent donor car for a restoration project, a stunt car for a movie shoot, or the basis for a demolition derby machine or even something like that flamethrower car in the movie Bellflower. When you start with a cheap running car like this and let your imagination run wild, ANYTHING is possible! Vehicle comes with old lien sale paperwork so it can be registered, and/or disposed of legally and properly once you've executed your plans for this project car. Even smashed into a 2-ton cube, it's worth a few $$ in the scrap market. I can assist the buyer with obtaining a 1-day moving permit for pickup day. Because the registration is expired and there is no PNO, I don't know how much it would be to register it to drive around, maybe over $1000? You might fall in love with the car and decide to go through the hoops to register and keep it- after 30 years in the car business I've seen it happen time and again. Or you have a 740 from 86-92 that's tired or has been crashed and you need a complete donor car- hooray, here is exactly everything you need for your project! The gray cloth seats are remarkable for the age. Pre-bid inspection is welcome and encouraged before you bid. It's not registered to go driving on the street but we can drive it around the parking lot and even put it up on a hoist if you need, how often does THAT happen on a used car purchase? Once the gavel falls, it is yours as-is, where is; while it is complete it hasn't been driven very far for years so no guarantee it will drive a particular distance. That said, you should be able to drive it home locally okay; but the farther from Los Angeles County you're going, the more moxie and resourcefulness you might need along the way. Payment in full within 7 days. If you have to arrange transportation we can accomodate a pickup all day M-F during business hours, it should go smoothly. Once paid in full I can be a little flexible about time to arrange transport. No-reserve auction, bid to win this running 1989 Volvo 740! |

Volvo S60 Polestar entering limited production in Australia [w/video]
Wed, 10 Apr 2013The Volvo S60 Polestar Concept may be entering limited production in Australia and, depending how the Aussies take to this Swedish super sports sedan, could then be made available worldwide. The news comes from Austrlia's GoAuto, which claims to have received early info from its sources inside Volvo and its tuning/motorsport arm, Polestar.
Polestar released a short teaser video this week (watch it below) of what appears to be the S60 Polestar Concept clipping the snowy apex of an ice track's turn. The only information given with the teaser were the words "Limited Edition. Soon in Australia." Unveiled last June, the S60 Polestar concept has since made the rounds at auto shows, visited Jay Leno's Garage, played on the track with its future competition, and even secured a home for itself with a buyer who reportedly is paying Volvo some $300,000 to own it.
The S60 Polestar Concept is about the meanest machine one can imagine making out of Volvo's sports sedan. Packing 508 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque from its heavily modified T6 engine, then routing those revolutions through a six-speed manual transmission to all four wheels, the S60 Polestar is said to cover the sprint to 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds. A lower and wider body, brakes by Brembo, suspension bits by Ohlins and a diet to delete some weight make this car a serious issue for M3 and C63 AMG owners everywhere. GoAuto's sources say the production version's performance will be dialed back a bit from the concept's, but we'll have to wait until Volvo and Polestar make this sedan's production official to find out by how much.
2015.5 Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar [w/video]
Thu, 01 May 2014Polestar Performance has been around since 1996, but until recently, it only did two things: manage Volvo motorsports operations and run a specialist consumer-facing side that built concept cars and boosted Volvo's turbocharged production cars by 15 to 60 horsepower. Five years ago, it fulfilled its long-held desire to engineer an actual production car, first creating the C30 Polestar Performance Concept, a showcar that led to the C30 Polestar Limited Edition.
That foray led to the berserker, 508-horsepower 2013 S60 Polestar Concept that Auto Motor und Sport called "a hard slap in the face to the Germans," and that model led to the limited-edition S60 Polestar production car just for Australia, a car reviewers swooned for, with one comparing its chassis finesse to the Ferrari 458 Italia.
All of which is to say, Polestar has a good start for a motorsports and tuning company to make good on its production car dreams. The 2015 Volvo S60 Polestar and V60 Polestar keep that momentum going, and beautifully at that.
Limited-edition Volvo S60 Polestar priced at $59,300*, V60 at $60,900*
Fri, 01 Aug 2014You saw their US reveal at this year's Chicago Auto Show and read our driving impressions from Sweden. Now, if you act fast, you can actually own one of the very limited 2015.5 Volvo S60 and V60 Polestar models coming to the United States. The order page for these slick Swedes is now online, but the slots are filling up about as quickly as these cars accelerate.
Volvo plans to build a combined 750 of these Polestar models for the world, but the US is being allocated just 120 of them. Prices start at $59,300 for the S60 or $60,900 for the V60 (*plus a $925 destination charge). The only option is color - either Black Sapphire or Rebel Blue. If rarity is playing a part in your decision, you might want to pick the S60. According to the reservation site, only 20 of the sedans in each color are making it over here; the rest are V60s.
As the top versions of their respective models, both Polestars are packed with features. They share a turbocharged, 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine rated at 345 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque with a six-speed automatic transmission and a rear-biased all-wheel-drive system. Acceleration to 60 miles per hour is claimed to take 4.7 seconds for the S60 or a tenth more for the V60 with a top speed of 155 mph. They are about more than just a hotter engine, though, with Öhlins shocks, six-piston brake calipers and 20-inch Polestar wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. Check out the gallery for the full, official specs, and get to the order page soon, if you decide you need one of these limited Swedish sportsters.
