1987 Volvo 740 Turbo Sedan (744T) in very good condition and with rare (for this model) manual transmission and only 82,xxx miles!

I will be completely honest with you about this car as I want this car to go to a happy home and I don't want to deal with any complaint from you as a buyer.

This is a west coast car that I had transported to Minnesota where I have since done extensive work to bring this car up to the very good mechanical condition it is now in. The body/under-body are very dry since this is a west coast vehicle and has only been driven in the snow a few times, after which it was washed (including the underbody) and stored in a heated garage. It's a non-smoker car, heated garage kept, and very well maintained. The first owner was a wealthy person in California and the owner before me was a Truck Driver who rarely drove the car.

I bought this car as a second car and as a project. When I got the car it had a leaking head gasket (left, front), bad clutch throw-out bearing, rotted engine wiring harness, but ran very very well with no transmission issues what-so-ever. Since my ownership I have done an extensive overhaul of most major systems and would drive this car from coast-to-coast without any hesitation. This is the second 740 I have owned and this one is by far one of the best examples you will find.

Here is what has been done to this car:

Remanufactured Cylinder Head (from Clearwater Cylinder Heads), Head Gasket, Intake/Exhaust Studs/Bolts, Intake/Exhaust Manifold Gaskets, Valve Cover Gasket
Timing Belt, Idler Pulley/Tensioner, Water Pump, Fan Clutch, Harmonic balancer, Thermostat, all Coolant hoses
Sachs clutch kit (throw out bearing, clutch, etc), resurfaced OEM flywheel, rear main seal, clutch slave cylinder
Bilstein touring struts on front and rear, rear springs, front control arm bushing, strut mount/bushings
Brake flex lines on all wheels, rear rotors, pads, and calipers
PCV/Oil Separator Box, cleaned IAC valve, cleaned throttle body, cleaned fuel injectors and fuel rail, new fuel filter, new high pressure fuel pump, new fuel pump relay
Cardone remanufactured distributor, bosch distributor cap/rotor, plugs, wires, bosch ignition coil, bosch oxygen sensor, airbox thermostat
Engine mounts, transmission mount, rear differential pinion, rear differential cover gasket
Catalytic Converter, Cat-back OBX stainless steel exhaust
Late Model/updated complete Engine Wiring Harness (post 1988 design which does not rot)
Upgraded stereo with Kenwood Excelon Stereo (USB and AUX input), Alpine Speakers, Infinity Basslink subwoofer
New Bridgestone Serenity Plus Turanza tires (very nice premium tire over $700 installed)
Fresh Mobil 1 Synthetic oil change, fresh brake fluid, transmission fluid, rear differential oil
All engine compartment hoses

What needs/could be done:

Air conditioning - currently does not work, but includes all parts and new belt (not installed). The compressor would switch on before I uninstalled the belt, but I have no idea what is wrong with the system or if it has been converted.
Oil Pan Gasket - this is starting to leak on the right side (the side the engine is angled to) and could use replacement. I got a quote from a local Volvo mechanic for $200 to replace the gasket and refill with fresh Mobil 1 and oil filter. I don't notice low oil between oil changes, so the leak is very slow but can be seen on the right engine mount.
Occasional brake squeal on right side (passenger) - I had the rotors/pads cleaned up and calipers greased and the issue seems to have subsided. The shop noted that all brakes are in good condition so it could be a temperature related even based on the compound of the pads.
Paintless dent removal - there are shallow/wide dents on the front and rear right doors. I am not sure how they got there, but they are certainly shallow enough with no creasing so they could be removed for a very small amount of money. There is also on in the trunk lid face, not sure if this could also have PDR treatment or if it would be cheaper to replace the whole trunklid for ~$150 by getting a part on HollanderParts.com.

There are your normal old-Volvo body panel rattles when going over bumps, but no suspension creaks and all of the rubber suspension bushing appear to be in good condition. The car starts right up (and I mean, right up), runs very nice, pulls strong, no smoke. The transmission shifts as any M46 transmission could, they are not known for their refinement but are pretty robust and this one is in very good condition with no grinds or hard shifts. The brake pedal is firm, the heat blows hot, all the lights on the dash function, it's a very nice example of a 26 year old Volvo. Did I mention this one even has a Driver Side Airbag?

The headliner is in good shape with a fully operational sunroof with no leaks. There are some interior panels that have a few bubbles and also on the vertical interior panels from the rear deck lid to the roof, I am guessing from being in the heat for so many years.

Please look at the pictures and contact me if you'd like a link to more photos and a video of the car, ask questions as much as possible, and make an offer I can't refuse. Thanks very much for looking!

THIS CAR IS SOLD AS-IS WITH NO WARRANTY. I HAVE DONE MY BEST TO DESCRIBE THE CONDITION OF THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE DISCLOSED ALL KNOWN ISSUES THAT I HAVE NOTICED OR HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO ME BY MY MECHANIC. YOU ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY AND ALL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE, DISCLOSED OR NOT, WHICH ARE PREEXISTING OR IDENTIFIED AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE. I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY RETURNS, ALL SALES ARE FINAL, SO PLEASE REQUEST ANY INFORMATION YOU NEED TO FEEL COMFORTABLE BUYING THIS CAR BEFORE YOU MAKE AN OFFER.

Season 9 of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases us with BMWs and Volvos

Thu, Dec 22 2016

Jerry Seinfeld's successful online show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is heading into its ninth season, returning January 5th. It should be no surprise that the list of actors and comedians is impressive, with Kristen Wiig, Christoph Waltz, and more making appearances. Seinfeld has lined up an equally impressive list of cars for the new season. Porsche, BMW, and Volvo all have beautiful machines lined up to shuttle Seinfeld and his guest to different coffee shops. As always, it's a mix of light humor packed into a relatively short and, most importantly, free video. Catch up on the previous eight seasons now on Crackle.

The first trailer for Top Gear's 24th season shows a hands-free drag race

Tue, Dec 27 2016

In the excitement over Amazon's new motoring show, it's important to remember that there's a certain series from the BBC that's attempting to get its mojo back for a 24th season. Yes, we're talking about Top Gear. Since Chris Evans' departure earlier this year, Top Gear news has been relatively sparse, particularly as The Grand Tour and its hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond seized headlines. But on Christmas, watchers of the series' YouTube channel caught a glimpse of the first scene from the next season. Featuring hosts Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid in what looks like a trio of old, dilapidated cars. We're thinking TG is running a taxi comparison. There's a London black cab and a Mercedes-Benz W210 – a favorite of European cabbies Â– but we aren't sure where Harris' boxy wagon fits in. Did the Volvo 850 Estate ever serve as a livery vehicle? But it's the basis for this comparison that's weird, because the hosts appear to be having a no-hands drag race. The cars veer off in different directions, traveling across what looks like a snow-covered dirt lot. We're assuming hilarity ensues. And while we don't quite know what they're hoping to accomplish, we are looking forward to watching it go down. Top Gear's 24th season doesn't have an official air date, and the video ends only with a cryptic "Coming Soon." Expect to hear more in the next few months.

Volvo demos autonomous self-parking car concept

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

A number of companies are developing autonomous vehicle technology - Google and Audi come to mind - but Volvo is applying its work in the area to a particular usage case: parking. The Swedish automaker has the technology up and running in a concept vehicle, which it says can be dropped off at the curb by its owner and left to its own devices to enter and navigate a car park, then find and park in an available parking spot. Volvo says the process can even be reversed when the owner is ready to go, with the car leaving the car park on its own to meet its key-holder again at the curb.
The vehicle first interacts with Vehicle 2 Infrastructure technology, which places transmitters in the road itself to inform the car (and driver) if the self-parking service is available. The driver then hops out, activates the Self Parking function on his or her smartphone and then leaves the car to do its work. The car uses sensors, all seemingly hidden from view (an advancement of its own in this field), to autonomously navigate the car park, which includes interacting and adjusting to other cars, people and objects.
The technology used here builds off of Volvo's other work in autonomous vehicle research, namely the Safe Road Trains for the Environment (SARTRE) project in which the company managed to create a train of four cars autonomously following a lead truck at speeds up 56 miles per hour. Volvo says the first application of its autonomous research in a production vehicle will happen at the end of 2014 with some level of autonomous steering available in the next-generation XC90. See the system in action by watching the video below.
