1983 Volvo 240 5 Speed, 2 Owner, 4 Door, 92,000 Miles, A/c, Clean Interior/ext on 2040-cars
Rio Rancho, New Mexico, United States
Meet "Bandit"; he is a RUST-FREE 2 owner (to the best of my knowledge) Volvo 240 from 1983. First you will notice he has been repainted a rich red in July 2013. Body is a 9/10 and interior also a 9/10. Odometer is in working condition, with 92,688 ORIGINAL MILES. "Bandit" was a commuter from the 80s-2009 from Taos, NM to Laguna, NM, a 176 mile drive, 3 hours each way. After the owner retired, he sat outside until I noticed him. Only parked for 4 years, I drained the gas tank, replaced fuel filter and the fickle Chrysler distributor/cap/rotor for a Bosch one. With new Michelin tires, Bandit runs like a champion. I just filled up the gas tank and was very pleased to see that everything works, including the Overdrive! Then he was painted and ready for a new home! Features: Power locks Power Steering Working A/C!! Heater 4 speed w/ electronic overdrive 4 Michelin tires with excellent tread Complete trim, inside & out locking gas cap Old Sony radio turns on and all speakers work, but play static only. I suspect the old radio had an internal fault, and would need replacing. Bad: Cracked windshield, see condition description. ASK ME FOR SHIPPING QUOTE, about $0.90/mile depending on location, if you cannot find a better quote. !!!VIDEO COMING SOON!!! |

Volvo shows glimpses of new Concept C Coupe ahead of Frankfurt [w/video]
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Volvo has released a short teaser video for a concept car that will be unveiled on August 29 ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show. At first glance, it would appear to be nothing more than a few sketches and some words from Volvo design boss Thomas Ingenlath, but at about the 11-second mark, four images are flashed on the screen revealing the true nature of the video - the Volvo Concept C Coupe.
As Inglenlath suggests in the video, this new concept is designed to help bring more excitement to the brand's lineup, and from what we can tell in these strategically captured shots, the company is definitely on to something. While we don't get too much of look from any one angle, the front reveals what appears to be a concave version of Volvo's signature grille and the side shows off a stylish greenhouse. We have to wonder, do these images confirm the identity of the mystery concept car that's been floating around the Internet this week? In either case, our favorite view is perhaps the rear shot giving us a glimpse of the car's name as well as its flat, wide haunches and C-shaped taillights.
Scroll down to watch the whole video, and if you don't have a trigger-quick mouse finger, don't worry. We made a gallery of screen shots showing the four embedded images.
Volvo finds a way to turn body panels into batteries [w/video]
Thu, 17 Oct 2013One of the problems with designing an electric vehicle is figuring out where to fit the battery pack. Volvo - as a part of a European Union research project - is working on a way around this issue by replacing standard parts with lightweight components that double as batteries on both conventional and plug-in vehicles. The image above shows one such piece on a Volvo S80. While looking like nothing more than a carbon fiber plenum cover, the piece is actually a battery pack that can store and supply enough energy for the car's entire 12-volt power system.
The parts are made by sandwiching super capacitors (which can charge faster than standard batteries) in between layers of carbon fiber. They can then be formed to replace numerous body panels such as the decklid, roof or door panels. Volvo says that the replacing the body panels and batteries with these nano batteries can help reduce the vehicle's weight by as much as 15 percent. It has taken more than three years just to design the batteries, so there's no telling when, or if, we'll ever see this technology used on a production vehicle.

Volvo Pure Tension concept folds solar charging pavilion into trunk
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Even by the 'anything-goes' standards of concept cars, this one is a head-spinner: the "Pure Tension" Volvo V60 Pavilion, commissioned by Volvo Italy and winner of the Pure Volvo Pavilion Design competition. The alien form seen hovering all over the rendered V60 is a pavilion, as in the kind erected for trade shows or outdoor events. Developed by Synthesis Design + Architecture, Buro Happold, and Fabric Images, the pavilion is a flexible mesh structure held in place by a carbon fiber rods.
What's more, the mesh is embedded with photovotaic cells so that the pavilion can absorb energy from the sun or indoor lighting, making it a portable charging station. It can power itself or the crossover, the V60 at the center of it all being a diesel hybrid that plugs straight into the pavilion. When it's time to go, the entire structure can be folded small enough to fit in the trunk of the car.
We're told it will be shown in September in Rome. Even if we never see this particular creation on the streets, it's comfortable proof that our future will eventually be wilder than we can imagine.
