Up for auction is my 1979 Volvo 244. This is a great, solid car with only 117,110 miles on it. It has been a project car of mine that I just don’t have time or money to complete. It a great example of an early 240 and will be awesome when the new owner finishes it off. I am the third owner, with the first owner having it from ’79-2001, then I got it from the second owner in 2005 or 2006 (I don’t remember!). The most notable thing about the car is the relatively low mileage and the solid rust free body. In addition, the interior is overall in excellent condition. The car has been sitting in my driveway for 3 years now and not driven. In the years when I first owned it I drove it and it runs and drives wonderfully. I had it repainted 2 summers ago by a local vocational-technical school and I drove it to and from their shop, it drove great then too. This car is really solid. The floor pan, rocker panels and doors are all strong solid metal. I cannot find any rust under the car, you can bang on the floor and hear how solid it is. Look at the pics I have of the door sills and rockers, and the rear end floor. The engine starts and runs strong. The interior and dash are in excellent shape for the age. There is only one small crack on the dash. All the glass is original. This car is not perfect, it has little issues (for example, the driver’s side speaker doesn’t work and the grille emblem fell out, etc) that will make it a great project car and someday it will be a show winner. I am sad to see it go and have described it as accurately as I could. If your expectations are
reasonable, you will definitely fall in love with this vintage Volvo! SEE BELOW FOR MANY DETAILED PICTURES Check my feedback, I make a real effort to accurately represent all of my items and this car is no different. Please ask questions to learn more. This car is, overall, in very good, original condition. As you walk around the car, or drive it, it is impressive to see the condition of all the items that you would expect to be a mess on a car of this vintage. However, the car is not perfect. In the time I have owned it I have had the following work performed: New OE Volvo Steel spare tire wells were welded in. There had been small amounts of rust on the spare wells which were repaired by an expert Volvo body guy. He also repaired some dents in the passenger side. The car was repainted by the voc-tech school in Ford Cocoa Metallic Brown. There are some imperfections in the paint job, but it looks good from 5 feet away. I have some of the paint if you want to touch it up. Complete tune up, fuel filter, cam seal, new battery, timing belt, water pump, transmission mount, exhaust pipe, oil pressure switch, oil change, have all been done in the last 6,000 miles or more recently. The car runs strong. I physically installed a rare tachometer into the cluster, however it is not yet wired up. I rebuilt and recovered the seats with brown covers from a newer 240. The front seats were upgraded to the new (taller) style 240 seat. The rears were recovered and the rear arm rest is from a newer car, so it is too big. THE BAD: Because the car has been sitting, there could be issues that will only be revealed during daily use. I am disclosing everything I know about. The heater fan is dead. The auto tranny has a small fluid leak, I am told it is common and an easy fix. It will need tires, the wheel/tire combo pictured on the car is not included however the original steel wheels and hubcaps are included (also pictured). The tires on those wheels are junk. The brakes worked fine 2 summers ago, but I suspect they will need servicing/replacing. The trunk/rear needs some reassembly from the paint and body work, parts are in the trunk. The AC system needs work, it doesn’t run. There is a crack in one taillight reverse lens. The car comes with a small selection of spare parts including: A spare gas tank (nothing wrong with the existing tank, I just happened to get one for free). The original rear seat armrest. A spare black headrest for the driver’s seat. READ BEFORE YOU BID!! READ BEFORE YOU BID!! You are not bidding for a chance to come and see, then refuse to buy the car.

China's Geely says it has no plan to buy Fiat Chrysler — as FCA stock leaps
Wed, Aug 16 2017HONG KONG — Chinese carmaker Geely Automobile denied media speculation on Wednesday that it planned to make a takeover bid for Fiat Chryslerk Automobiles (FCA), the world's seventh-largest automaker. Geely was one of several Chinese carmakers cited in by Automotive News, which said representatives of "a well-known Chinese automaker" had made an offer this month for FCA, which has a market value of almost $20 billion. "We don't have such a plan at the moment," Geely executive director Gui Shengyue told reporters at an earnings briefing, when asked if Geely was interested in Fiat. He said a foreign acquisition would be complicated, but he did not elaborate. "But for other (Chinese) brands, it could be a fast track for their development," Gui added. However, a source close to the matter said FCA and Geely Automobile's parent firm, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, had held initial talks late last year, without disclosing their nature. The source confirmed Geely was no longer interested in FCA, noting that the parent company had only three months ago announced its first push into Southeast Asia with the purchase of 49.9 percent of struggling Malaysian carmaker Proton, a deal that also included a stake in Lotus. Geel's denial failed to dent FCA's stock. The price of its Milan-based shares has jumped more than 10 percent to a 19-year high since Automotive News first reported on Monday, citing unnamed sources, that FCA had rejected the Chinese offer as too low. FCA stock on the New York Stock Exchange rose sharply on Monday from $11.60 to $12.38 and on Wednesday was trading at $12.84. FCA declined to comment on Wednesday. FCA Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne has repeatedly called for mergers as a way of sharing the costs of making cleaner, more advanced cars, but he has repeatedly failed to find a partner and retreated from his search for in April, saying FCA would stick to its business plan. He has also spoken of spinning the successful Jeep and Ram divisions off from FCA. Europe's largest carmaker, Volkswagen, and General Motors have both said they are not interested in talks with FCA. On Wednesday, Geely Automobile reported a doubling of first-half profit, above expectations, as cars designed with Sweden's Volvo won over domestic consumers. Volvo is a unit of the Zhejiang Geely group, and has recently announced it will share its technology with Geely.
Volvo calls in S60 T5 over oil pressure indicator
Mon, 30 Dec 2013As anyone with a driver's license should be able to tell you, the oil pressure indicator on a car is a vital feature. If you don't have enough oil pressure, your engine could seize up, leaving you stranded and causing catastrophic damage for both your automobile and your wallet. Worryingly, then, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that the oil pressure indicator lamp on certain Volvo S60 models is prone to failure, prompting the manufacturer to issue a recall.
The issue pertains to MY2011-2012 Volvo S60s with turbocharged five-cylinder engines manufactured between June 22, 2010 and May 14, 2012. All told, precisely 30,929 units are affected by the recall campaign. The owners of affected models will be notified by Volvo to bring in their cars to their local dealer for a software update. See the official notice below for details.
Volvo sets high carbon price to assess sustainability of new projects
Wed, Nov 10 2021GLASGOW — Swedish automaker Volvo said on Wednesday it had set a price on carbon emissions from its operations of 1,000 Swedish crowns ($116.30) a tonne, part of attempts to ensure all future projects are sustainable. Announcing the move at global climate talks in Scotland as it joined an imitative to phase out fossil fuel cars and vans, the company said it had deliberately set a relatively high price to "future proof" itself. Negotiators at the COP26 talks are trying to finish rules to create an international carbon market. Put simply, it would allow some countries to pay others to cut emissions — with the aim of pushing much-needed cash into green projects around the world. Volvo said it was the first automaker to set such a price across its whole operations, as part of its aim to be a climate neutral company by 2040. The price is double the current cost of carbon in the European Union's carbon trading scheme. Going forward, every new car project would go through a "sustainability sense-check", with a carbon price assigned throughout the life of the vehicle, to ensure it would be profitable even under a much higher government-set price. “A global and fair price on CO2 is critical for the world to meet its climate ambitions, and we all need to do more,” Bjorn Annwall, chief financial officer, said in a statement. “We strongly believe progressive companies should take the lead by setting an internal carbon price. By evaluating future cars on their CO2-adjusted profitability, we expect to accelerate actions that will help us identify and reduce carbon emissions already today.” Also on Wednesday, Volvo signed up to the Glasgow Declaration on Zero Emission Cars and Vans, along with peers including Ford and General Motors, aiming to end production of internal combustion engines by 2040.
