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!

Volvo and Polestar Range Assistant app promises more range for EVs
Tue, Oct 19 2021Volvo and Polestar just released a new app for their EVs that promises to help optimize driving range. It’s called “Range Assistant,” and itÂ’s coming as an over-the-air update to the Volvo XC40 Recharge and Polestar 2. The Volvo C40 Recharge will have it built into the car from the factory. ItÂ’s exclusive to EVs and Volvo/Polestar products running the Android Automotive infotainment system. Volvo says the app has a range-optimizer functionality that automatically adjusts the climate control to improve range. ItÂ’ll also coach drivers with driving style and speed recommendations to increase range on longer trips. The app also comes with passive forms of range improvements. Volvo claims itÂ’ll help better manage battery and regeneration performance. Plus, it has a “smarter timer to precondition the batteries.” For example, when you input a charging destination into Google Maps, the car will automatically precondition the batteries to be ready for maximum charging speed by the time you arrive. ThereÂ’s more data for the driver to scan, too, as Volvo provides greater detail on the available range and real-time energy consumption. Volvo doesnÂ’t put a number or percentage on the range increase that drivers may experience with this new app, but does claim that range will go up because of it. In addition to the new app, Volvo says this latest OTA update includes “further improvements on the safety systems, new information about cold climate impact on battery range and various bug fixes.” The app is scheduled to be rolled out to the applicable vehicles by the end of October. Its functionality will come baked into the complimentary four-year Volvo Care Package that all Volvo EVs automatically get. Of course, after those four years, youÂ’ll be on the hook for the data connection cost and package fee. Note that the Range Assistant appears to be tied up into this package, and while it wonÂ’t incur a separate fee, youÂ’ll need it and the data connection to take advantage of it after so many years.

Volvo Concept XC Coupe leaked [w/video] [UPDATE]
Tue, 07 Jan 2014Last month, Volvo gave us a teaser of its new Concept XC Coupe, set to debut at the Detroit Auto Show. And now, just a few days before the doors open at Cobo Hall, leaked images of the stylish new crossover showcar have leaked online, courtesy of CarBuyer.co.uk.
The Concept XC Coupe is a sort of high-riding successor to the very attractive Concept Coupe that wowed us at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. With its burlier dimensions and hatchback configuration, the Concept XC gives us a better glimpse at Volvo's new styling direction, which is expected to debut in production form on the next-generation XC90 crossover. We've already seen some leaked sketches of the new XC90, and it sure does look like this Concept XC.
We don't have any further details about the Concept XC Coupe, but from the images, we can see that it will use a four-passenger seating configuration, with rear seats that fold flat. There are also exterior badges for surround radar and a 360-degree camera system, suggesting some new safety tech fitting of safety-minded brand.
Volvo S60, XC60 caught testing with freshened faces
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Neither the Volvo S60 nor the Volvo XC60 are that old, but the Swedish automaker is wasting no time ensuring that two of its most popular products don't get stagnant on the market, a fate that has befallen some of the other products it offers.
Even though these two models helped usher in a new styling direction for Volvo not too long ago, the modest facelifts on tap for both looks like they will bring both products closer to the styling of the handsome overseas V40 hatchback.
Aside from the pointier front end, the XC60 crossover is also getting a revised rear fascia that now includes integrated dual exhaust outlets. The shots of the S60 show us that the sedan's interior will be getting minor tweaks as well, including reshaped front seats and a new shift lever.
