Rescued from a Texas used car dealership and carefully restored here in Jersey. Here's the real story of Grandma Boone as told to me by her husband and grandson: Carol Boone loved her Turbo and she was very particular about it. Sending it back for local repairs frequently with many minor complaints. I have pages of paperwork with complaints like "whistling noises", "groaning brakes", "uncomfortable seats", "improperly adjusted a/c vents" etc. It's actually pretty funny but Mrs Boone was not shy about spending money on her Volvo. I hold most, if not every, major repair receipt. She rarely drove the car and always kept it in the garage. As she grew older in the 1990's she drove the car less and less frequently. By the end of the 90's, it just sat in the garage. In 2002 it had 12k on the odometer when Mrs. Boone spent over $3500 to put it back on the road. She replaced the gas tank, fuel pumps, lines, distributor, new belts (including timing), trans & coolant flush, oil change, etc. In Summer of '03 she backed into a Texas roadside irrigation ditch and did $1624 of repair damage. Mostly the muffler and rear bumper. Carfax reflects this single minor accident and I have the auto body repair receipt. The accident ended Grandma Boone's driving days and unfortunately she passed away in 2005. Her husband and adult grandson drove the car around locally from 16-24k miles then traded the car into a Texas used car dealership this past summer for . . .... $1000. (They reportedly bought another Volvo if that makes you feel any better). I saw the car advertised on Craigslist and bought it sight unseen then shipped it to Jersey for restoration. So this actually is Grandma's original Turbobrick stored in a Texas time capsule for 3 decades. Interior- The leather seats are soft. Yes, soft tan leather seats. No rips or cracking only minor wear. No dash cracks with only minor sun fading throughout. Sunroof operates perfectly as well as all gauges, switches, chimes and lights. The A/C blows cold as it should. Exterior- The paint is in fantastic shape. A minor blemish here and there but nothing close to clear coat breakdown. One very small ding on drivers front wheel well. Again, there is no rust anywhere on this car. I also have an undercoating receipt from summer of '83. The rims are in excellent shape. Best Virgo's I've ever seen. Only one or two spots of very light rash out of 4. The original optional red bumper stripe is still attached but parts of the stripe are peeling. Mechanics- The car runs and handles perfectly and it's a complete joy to drive. You really get an idea of how tight these cars felt right off of the showroom floor. No record of a wiring harness replacement but there is no need. The original looks nearly perfect. I don't think you could find a used Turbo harness in better shape. Staged 0'd. Bougicord plugs, wires, cap, rotor and oil filter. Bosch alternator Cleaned grounds, replaced fuses, new battery Minor issues- The fuel filter is not OEM Pictures show the Alpine head unit and old glove box lock but both have been properly replaced. Later style rear deck tabs in pictures have been replaced with correct ones. I have a spare tire cover on the way also. Proper plush tan floor mats included. I simply ran it through the car wash for pictures. It would look even better after a nice detailing. Swag around your local meet in style. This car could easily be concourse shown. Maybe drop in an M46? Or it could be stripped down for an epic rebuild around the flawless shell. Or maybe just store it away as a retirement investment (it will surely appreciate in value more than your IRA). Car is currently located in 08501 New Jersey and available for prompt inspection. I am just off Exit 7a of the NJ Turnpike (I-95). I am also very close to Route 1, Route 130, I-195, and trains. NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor line stops nearby in Hamilton and Amtrak stops in Trenton. I'm also 45 mins from Newark and Philly airports. I am also willing to ship this car at 100% your expense. I hold the clean title in hand and will not release it to you without full confirmed payment 12/6 Item relisted because original listing had an incorrect VIN #. (Vin's can't be edited, only relisted) |

Apple announces CarPlay in-car iPhone interface
Mon, 03 Mar 2014Apple, maker of tech items like the iPhone, iPad and Mac line of computers, is extending its reach into the automotive market, making a fairly big announcement ahead of the Geneva Motor Show. No, it hasn't bought Tesla (yet). Instead, Apple has announced CarPlay, an all-new means of controlling an iPhone through your car.
Now, this doesn't strike us as some gimmicky thing. It's become increasingly common for automakers to take advantage of the high-speed data streams its customers enjoy on their smartphones in order to integrate navigation, traffic, audio and other infotainment items into a car's touchscreen interface. The Chevrolet Spark and Sonic are two prime examples of this move, using an iPhone's data stream for Siri integration and data for a third-party navigation app.
Owners will be able to plug in their iPhones to their cars via the USB port and gain control of a number of the device's functions, all through a car's touchscreen.
Volvo to finally replace XC90 in 2014
Wed, 16 Jan 2013There's not a whole lot of life left in the current Volvo XC90, but it seems a replacement is on the way. According to What Car?, Volvo will launch its new flagship crossover sometime in 2014, riding on an all new platform that will eventually underpin several models in the company's range.
According to Volvo boss Hakan Samuelsson, this new architecture will eventually underpin the next-generation S60, V70, S80 and XC60, all of which will be getting mid-cycle enhancements over the next year. In speaking to What Car?, Samuelsson said that Volvo would not try to follow the paths set by BMW and Mercedes-Benz, instead focusing on "safety, elegant design and user-friendly functionality" for its next round of new cars.
The new XC90 will remain a seven-passenger vehicle and will be powered by a range of four-cylinder engines. Volvo will soon be dropping the five- and six-cylinder powertrains from its lineup.
How many other cars does it take to kill a Volvo?
Thu, 27 Dec 2012We all know how safe Volvo cars are, but a European junkyard has decided to put it to the test by crashing, jumping and rolling the life out of an 850 wagon. While government tests use automated systems to crash new cars, the guys in this video do so with a driver behind the wheel. Aside from what looks like a safety harness and roll bar for the driver, it seems like this car is otherwise bone stock.
Not wanting to spoil the fun for you, we'll just point out that at the start of the video, our hero car looks pretty flawless, and by the end, well, let's just say the Craigslist ad for the car would say "needs some body work." Check out the video below to watch some stunts that even the Duke Boys might shy away from.
