1984 Volvo 240 Turbo Wagon With Many Aftermarket Parts, For Parts on 2040-cars
Milton, Wisconsin, United States
The ideal person to buy this car is someone who is starting from scratch at modifying a Volvo 240, who has a decent body and engine and needs all the upgrades. And a little space to store this car while they take parts off. And a little time on their hands to do all that.
The car has been sitting for about seven years. It drove itself to where it's been parked since, overheating in the process. Best to not expect to start this engine and bring it back from the dead. The parts: IPD: Front and rear Sway Bars (25mm both; rear installed, front not installed) 245 Lowering springs (Front installed; rear not installed) Early adjustable camshaft gear (loosen bolts and infinitely adjustable) Upper 242GT strut tower-to-firewall braces Lower subframe stressbars (never installed) Steve Buscina strut tower brace in red/black powdercoat GTS brand headlight covers Custom 2.5" stainless turbo-back exhaust system with Catalytic convertor and muffler. Side exit ahead of passenger rear wheel (exhaust tip needs to be bent after curb strike, or whatever happened) "K" cam installed B23 intake manifold Full Volvo Intercooler setup from early 740 Turbo, including compressor bypass valve. Koni Special ("reds", adjustable) struts and rear shocks (I can't say enough good things about these shocks - loved 'em even better than Bilstein and Koni Sports I've had!) Original strut inserts to come with car (FWIW) Full complement of original Turbo gauges, plus the most excellent outside thermometer. Black leather front seat headrest pads Cruise control All the various chassis bits (tie rods, balljoints, brakes with PBR pads, etc) were in excellent condition when it was last out. Some of those things should still be good. Not sure about he hydraulics. There's a host of related parts that I could maybe dig out, depending on your interest. These include a full set of SuperPro poly bushings that were never installed, the original "T" turbo camshaft, an "A" cam, not sure what else. If you're really interested and are nice to me, I might consider letting go my R-sport steering wheel and adapter and the rare-as-heck dashtop gauge cluster (goes where the dashtop speaker usually is) for additional $$. I'm keeping the Turbo rims - car will come with set of random wheels to roll on. I might be able to assist with delivery of this vehicle - but it would be best to trailer it (I don't own a full trailer). Contact me before bidding if you're interested in anything other than picking it up yourself. |

Weekly Recap: Toyota, Mazda team up to 'make cars better'
Sat, May 16 2015Toyota and Mazda are teaming for a noble purpose: to "make cars better." That's how the two Japanese automakers termed their partnership, which was announced this week. So what does this actually mean? The companies said they will set up a joint committee to look for areas of cooperation and named safety and the environment as issues they plan to tackle. From a product perspective, it's believed that Toyota is interested in Mazda's Skyactive engine portfolio. In turn, Mazda has its eye on Toyota's fuel-cell and plug-in hybrid technology. While more specifics were not confirmed, the companies said the "agreement will go beyond the traditional framework of cooperation," and it has the potential to be a long-range partnership. "The main purpose of this initiative is to enhance the appeal of our cars," Toyota president Akio Toyoda said at the announcement. Previously, Mazda has licensed Toyota's hybrid tech and assembled compact cars for Toyota in Mexico. Akio Toyoda said these projects "triggered" the automakers to explore further collaboration. Dave Sullivan, product analysis manager for AutoPacific, said the tie-up echoes Daimler's wide-ranging work with the Renault-Nissan alliance. "This could be a well-groomed match due to each having very unique skill sets," he said. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Volvo selects South Carolina for US factory Volvo confirmed this week that it will build its first US factory in South Carolina, with construction set to begin this fall. The company first revealed plans in March, though it didn't announce a site. The plant will have initial annual production of 100,000 units, though the vehicle or vehicles to be assembled were not specified. The factory, located near Charleston, will open in 2018 and ultimately employ 4,000 people. The facility will help Volvo continue its growth strategy, which includes strengthening its presence in the US market, where it wants to sell more than 100,000 cars per year. "Building a plant in the US is a reflection of Volvo Cars' commitment to the US and the key role the US plays in our growth objectives," Lex Kerssemakers, senior vice president, Americas, said in a statement. Ford GT spied on the road The 2017 Ford GT was spotted testing around the Blue Oval's headquarters in Dearborn, MI, this week. The raw body panels were exposed, and they lacked paint or camouflage. It's the first time the GT has been captured on the street after a spring of auto show reveals.
Irv Gordon's Volvo P1800 has reached 3 million miles
Wed, 18 Sep 2013While we were seated at our desks like good worker bees yesterday, Irv Gordon was continuing his assault on the record books. Gordon, if you recall, is the original owner of a red 1966 Volvo P1800 (owner and car shown above), and yesterday, Volvo says the coupe's odometer clocked its three-millionth mile. The miracle mile occurred on the Seward Highway in Alaska, one of only two states that Gordon had never visited.
It took the New York native more than 20 years to hit his first million miles in 1987 and another 15 years to achieve two million miles in 2002, but a road trip to Alaska will further cement his place in the record books as the car surpasses three million miles. Gordon has almost doubled the 1.69-million mile distance that helped him win a Guinness Book of World Records title for the most miles logged on an originally owned car, and this new momentous distance proves the durability of both man and machine. For more information on Gordon's feat, scroll down for a Volvo press release or check out a website set up to celebrate his latest milestone.
Hot rod tractor stars in Swedish version of Farmkhana
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Nordic countries are known for their beautiful fjords, blonde-haired populace and bitter cold for a good portion of the year. The hours spent indoors during the dark, cold season apparently gives a lot of time for some crazy brainstorming. Tire store chain Vianor is highlighting the Traktor Terror in a new video. If Ken Block is the master of Gymkhana, then these guys know all about Farmkhana in their custom, turbocharged tractor.
According to the YouTube description from Vianor, the tractor is a 1956 Volvo BM Terrier with an added roll cage, adjustable front suspension and extended frame. The engine is thoroughly Swedish, and it's based on a Volvo 940 Turbo with a Volvo 240 head and Volvo 740 intercooler. However, it uses a Saab turbo Prospark ignition and fuel system. All told, the setup is claimed to make 225 horsepower and is capable of a top speed of 60 miles per hour.
That's not crazy power, but this tractor can certainly put it down. The farm machine has no problem smoking those big rear wheels and drifts easily.... although, it may be a tiny little bit unstable (hence the roll cage). If nothing else, this looks like the world's most fun way to be a farmer, that's for sure.
