This is a 1992 Volvo 740 that we (Yoshifab) used to develop a LS1/Gen3 V8 conversion kit. All work was performed about a year ago and the car has only done maybe 1000~1500miles in that time.
1992 740 wagon
1999 LS1 with 101000 miles on it. Motor runs smooth and strong.
1999 T56 with the same mileage, shifts into all gears smoother than any other t56 I have driven
Yoshifab Gen 3 V8 mount kit
Custom drive shaft
GM LS7 Clutch/Flywheel (1000 or so miles on it)
C6 exhaust manifolds
LS6 intake manifold
SLP MAF
4" intake pipe/K&N filter
Pro 5.0 Shifter
Custom 3" exhaust (sounds very nice, just enough rumble to let you know its a v8 but nothing crazy) Nobody even seems to look twice when you roll through a parking lot.)
Yoshifab rear subframe reinforcement kit
G80 locking differential
AC compressor replaced this week
Goodyear tires have about 1000 miles (well lets say 2000 miles after the burnout pic) on them. Just have the fuzzies worn off.
Accessory belts and pullies are all about 1000 miles old
The beauty of this car is the overall condition. It is not perfect but much nicer than your average Volvo of this vintage. Paint is still in very good shape but a few shopping cart kinda dings. It has been very well maintained, all the suspension and steering is tight and the breaks work well. The car runs and drives totally normal, my wife has no issue stepping out of her new Corolla and driving this to the store. It has working ac, good road manners, and a very smooth ride. The idea is a car that drives like a normal Volvo wagon but with a lot more zip. It works quite well. The car was a diesel in a previous life and the CA title still reflects that. Shipping can be arranged but buyer will be 100% responsible for shipping costs. Last Volvo I shipped went cross country for around $800

Volvo releases extensive model updates for 2014
Tue, 19 Feb 2013The 2014 model year is going to see big changes for the Volvo lineup. The biggest news is that the "60 cluster" models (the S60, V60 and XC60) are receiving some substantial updates despite not being all that old, and Volvo is also refreshing the S80, V70 and XC70 models. Of course, the 2014 model year also marks the departure of the C30 and C70 from its lineup, and we still have at least a year to wait until we see the redesigned XC90.
Except for the XC90, all of the 2014 Volvos will be getting noticeable design updates. The S60, V60 and XC60 get more in-depth changes, including a full front facelift. All will use an evolution of the "naughty" design that debuted on the S60. The rear of all three cars get some changes, too, most notably consisting of the reshaped rear fascia with the integrated exhaust outlets. S80, V70 and XC70 will get more minor changes - mostly to bring them in line with the fresher models. The XC70 keeps is rugged plastic cladding, but it gets some stylish wheels with what look like arrowhead accents.
Inside, all of these updated models will new in-car technology such as the Sensus Connected Touch infotainment system and the adaptive digital display with a TFT (thin film transistor) screen. This reconfigurable screen allows the driver to choose between three different themes - Elegance, Eco and Performance - which changes the color and layout of the background. Other new features include heated windshields, Active High Beam Control for the headlights, paddle shifters for a little added driver involvement and IntelliSafe active safety systems (City Safety, Pedestrian Detection and Road Sign Information) The S80, V70 and XC70 will also add heated steering wheels to their respective options sheets, too.
Volvo working on ultra-lux four-seat XC90 for China?
Tue, 09 Sep 2014In China, it's all about being driven. That's why we've seen so many automakers stretch their most popular models to appeal to buyers in the Chinese market. Volvo is certainly no stranger to this, and according to Autocar, the company is already working on a super-lux, four-seat version of its recently launched XC90 crossover.
Volvo won't stretch the XC90 and just increase second-row legroom, however. Instead, the company will reportedly remove both the standard XC90's second and third row benches, and install a duplicate set of front seats in the rear compartment, featuring the same electric adjustment features, including massage. These more luxurious thrones will be placed further back in the vehicle, allowing for "exceptional" legroom, Autocar reports, without needing to stretch the wheelbase.
Mum's the word on when we can expect to see the high-zoot Volvo arrive, though the magazine estimates that it surface later this year.
Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k
Tue, 07 Oct 2014Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.
