1982 Volvo 245 Dl Turbo Diesel Wagon on 2040-cars
Conroe, Texas, United States
Up for sale is my very own, tastefully modified 1982 volvo 245 DL turbo diesel wagon. The turbo is a garrett GT32 with a fresh rebuild and an upgraded 360 degree thrust washer (supports higher boost) It has a legit safety inspection which meant the turning crank works, pelvic straps are in good shape, blinkies and flashers all burn, brakes mostly work as long as the engine is on, The overdrive has been rewired to work 75% of the time, instead of the usual 10%. The front driver seat was reupholstered about 10 years ago, I just replaced the front tires due to the belt separating from the sidewall. Power windows work except for the front passenger side due to blood getting into the motor and brushes from the accident. Power locks work, and I have the original set of keys for the ignition and locks.
Boost will reach about 20psi before settling off, it can goto 40, but the couplers explode. Once those are upgraded to silicone, it will really fly! serious offers only! Will issue a bill of sale only. UPDATE: I shot a video detailing the details in more detail. I want to built a similar vehicle, working ac, powered by an LBZ duramax or OM606 Mercedes engine with a shortened ford 9" diff.... BUY MY VOLVO SO I CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN! Winning bid will have their momento permanently affixed to the new build in your memory. Because without your help, it never would have happened. THANKS! |

Ford, Volvo top 2014 EyesOn Design awards
Fri, 17 Jan 2014Each year at the Detroit Auto Show, the top vehicle designs are recognized with the prestigious EyesOn Design award for production and concept vehicles. This year, the 32 EyesOn Design judges (comprised of current and former vehicle designers including Chrysler designer and SRT president Ralph Gilles, Kia designer Peter Schreyer and retired General Motors designer Wayne Cherry) handed out three awards for the Best Concept Vehicle, Best Production Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials.
Beating out the Mercedes C-Class and Ford F-150, the 2015 Ford Mustang was named the Best Production Vehicle as the top auto show debut at this year's Detroit show. The 2014 Volvo Concept XC Coupe took home awards as the Best Concept Vehicle and for its Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials.
Considering the Volvo's primer grey hue and subtle orange accents, it was a rather surprising winner for Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials over flashier concepts like the Toyota FT-1 and our Editors' Choice top pick, the Kia GT4 Stinger. Other vehicles in the running for the concept car award include the GT4 Stinger and Audi Allroad Shooting Brake
Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.
Volvo and Ericsson to take Spotify on the road
Thu, 27 Dec 2012Volvo is working to bring Spotify to its vehicles. Ericsson has announced it will provide its Connected Vehicle Cloud service to Volvo for future products, and Spotify streaming music is part of that service. Like Toyota Entune and other infotainment services, the Connected Vehicle Cloud will use the driver's smartphone as a modem to stream music and serve as a base for other applications, all of which will be controllable through the vehicle interface. Expect to see the service launch in 2014, though Ericsson stresses later generations will feature an embedded modem with its own SIM card that will piggyback off of the owner's phone data plan.
But that system won't show up in production vehicles until at least 2016. In the interim, Ericsson says it will continue to work with government agencies on its car-to-car communication efforts. That program could eventually help pave the way toward autonomous road trains capable of helping vehicles travel safely together while also reducing traffic congestion. Wired has a full break down of the Connected Vehicle Cloud strategy. You can read it here.
