The 242 Turbo in front of you is a fully restored car that was saved from certain death. It had been parked in 1992 and left to die. Fortunately, it was left under a cover that protected the vehicle from most elements but did nothing for the paint. We trailered it home and stripped the entire interior and cleaned and catalogued all of the parts making a list of new parts that were needed. The car was then taken to Vern's Imports in Kansas City where mechanical repairs were made. A rebuilt engine was installed as the original had seized from sitting. A completely new fuel system was installed from the fuel tank, fuel pump and fuel accumulator. A new wiring harness was installed as the original had deteriorated. New IPD Sport Suspension springs were installed which lowered the car approximately 1 1/2" - 2" inches and the shocks were checked but were fine. The car was then taken in to receive new paint work which included removing a couple of small dents via paintless dent repair and then having two areas of rust removed and new metal welded in. To give the car a modern look a set of 18" Pegasus wheels from a 2004 S60R were installed with 18" Toyo Proxes Tires (205/35/18). To make this combination work custom milled aluminum spacers were made after much research to get the spacing correct. These spacers are hub centric which mean they fit the hub exactly as the factory wheels did and then the spacers are wheel centric to meet the specifications of the Pegasus wheel. This assures a perfect fit and ride. The original interior was in need of extensive work. The seats were stripped and rebuilt the interior parts that were there were all cleaned and re-used if possible. New door panels and rear panels were obtained from a donor car in Pittsburg Kansas and other small interior part were obtained from other vehicles in the Midwest. Fortunately, the carpet was rolled up and set on the rear deck and in perfect condition. After the restoration was complete we took the car to many shows across the Midwest. 2009 VCOA Midsommar National show in Tulsa, Oklahoma - 1st Place 240 Class and Best of Show - Volvo with Attitude. 2009 COR Classic Car Show - 1st Place - beating all cars at the show in its age group including American Iron Mustangs, Corvettes, Camaros, etc. 2010 VCOA Midsommar National show in Kansas City, Missouri - 1st Place 240 Class and Best of Show - Volvo with Attitude 2010 COR Classic Car Show - 2nd Place 2011 VCOA Midsommar National show in Salina, Kansas - 1st Place 240 Class I have receipts for the major work that was done on the car and can send those to serious buyers. Since restoration the car has been garage kept and under a custom cover. Over $15,000 invested in the restoration. The car is sold as is at $12,500 or BEST OFFER. I want to get this car into the hands of someone that will take it and enjoy it.

Volvo Concept Coupe is brand's 'next-generation P1800' [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Volvo is calling the Concept Coupe its "next-generation P1800."
The teasing can now officially come to an end - Volvo has released all the images, videos and details on its new Concept Coupe, and we're intrigued. The Swedish automaker is calling the concept its "next-generation P1800," and those are some pretty big shoes to fill. Fortunately, it's not all talk; there are clear links to Volvo's much-loved coupe in its shape, though we certainly wouldn't call the Concept Coupe 'retro.'

Macron hosts BMW and Volvo execs as they consider moving operations to the U.S.

Mon, Nov 21 2022

PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday will host a dinner with a number of European chief executives to convince them not to move production to the United States, where lower energy prices and the Inflation Reduction Act is proving a lure. European leaders have been alarmed by massive anti-inflation measures passed by Joe Biden's administration, which make tax breaks conditional on U.S-manufactured content and which EU industries say make investment in Europe less competitive. "We're having difficulties with companies which are starting to consider offshoring their production or making future investment outside Europe," a French official said, listing high energy costs and the U.S. legislation as reasons. At the Elysee palace, Macron will seek to convince executives from companies including chemical groups Solvay and Air Liquide, carmakers Volvo and BMW, pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca and telecom groups Ericsson and Orange to stay in Europe and choose France for their future investments. Macron, who has called on the European Union to launch its own 'European Buy Act' to subsidise European production, has encountered resistance from the more anti-protectionist members of the bloc. It was unclear what Macron would tell the executives to convince them not to move to the U.S. But France has unveiled a number of measures over the weekend to cushion the impact of high energy bills for French companies. European companies have been increasingly strident about the impact of soaring energy prices since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has pushed up gas and electricity prices. Eric Trappier, CEO of Dassault Aviation, who heads the French federation of metals industries, warned in the Les Echos newspaper over the weekend that Europe should protect its own industry more aggressively or see it move to other shores.

Next Polestar Volvo sounds great, whatever it is

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

Something - we don't know what yet - is coming from Polestar. While we'll be recovering from next week's LA Auto Show and Tokyo Motor Show (and starting to slack off ahead of an extended Thanksgiving weekend), the official tuner of Volvo products has announced plans to unveil its latest creation in less than two weeks.
Based on this video teaser, we can only imagine (and hope) that it's the souped-up Volvo V60 recently caught testing by our spy shooters. The idea of a high-performance Volvo wagon was already enough to get us giddy last month, but the exhaust note in this video is downright captivating. Scroll down to watch the teaser for yourself, and be prepared for some bright blue wagony goodness to be revealed on November 26.
