1982 Volvo 240dl - Award Winner! on 2040-cars
Keswick, Ontario, Canada
|
I am the original owner of the car, purchased new from a Volvo dealership in Toronto. All maintenance
has been done by myself and/or the same Volvo master mechanic for the last
32yrs.
The car is an award winner both here in Canada and South of the Border and recently was the highest scoring car in its category at a recent ACCCC Concourse D'Elegence, scoring 97.3%. This is a show car that is winter stored and driven for pleasure only and showcased at a number of car shows every year. It has also been featured in Volvo magazines, the Toronto Star newspaper and Toronto Sun newspaper. The car is in sound mechanical condition without any issues whatsoever. All mechanics, brakes, engine, transmission, clutch, drive train, electrics are performing like new and repairs were made as needed over the years. All fluids have been changed regularly and the car can simply be driven for many years more without any immediate or additional repairs required. 70% of the paint, entire interior, engine and electrics are all original, hence the award winning status it receives every year. This is a car that has not been modified, altered or otherwise. It is as it was when coming off the assembly line for the first time. Unlike the images provided, the car now has "Historical Plates" and enjoys the many discounts for licensing, a historical car is entitled to. The car sale includes a vast number of NOS (new old stock) parts, too many to mention and some of which are very rare. Included in the sale are all the Volvo Shop Manuals, documentation, original sales receipt, awards, and much more. The Volvo is suitable for someone who wants to continue the legacy of this car, enjoy its award winning status and hopefully love and care for it as I have done for the last 32yrs.

Volvo developing new three-cylinder engine family
Mon, 25 Aug 2014Pop the hood on a Volvo of recent vintage and you'll find four-, five-, six- and even eight-cylinder engines. But the Swedish automaker is downsizing its engines over the coming years. The new XC90, set to be revealed later this week, will use a new family of four-cylinder engines (like the one pictured above). But that's not even the end of it as emerging reports speak of a new three-cylinder engine family in the works.
The new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine will, according to reports, help Volvo further cut its carbon emissions in line with constricting regulations in markets like Europe and Australia. There won't be quite as many versions as the four-cylinder range, which will include gasoline and diesel versions in varying states of tune, but the three-pot motor is tipped to be employed in vehicles as large as the S60 and its stablemates. Larger than that, however, and the three-cylinder engine apparently just doesn't have the necessary torque.
Expect the new three-cylinder engine to be introduced sometime later this decade, after the four-cylinder's introduction in 2016. The three-cylinder engine is also set to form the building block of an even more efficient hybrid propulsion system in the future, enabling this new engine family to stay relevant through 2025.
Volvo confirms return of the wagon with V60 headed to US
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Turns out that promised new production Volvo model for the United States is indeed the V60 wagon, as we had previously predicted. And it's not terribly surprising, as Volvo has a long and storied history of wagon sales in the US, from the old, loveable 240 to the more recent high-performance V70R. And yet the automaker hasn't had a proper non-XC, non-crossover-style wagon in the US since it pulled the V70 away at the end of the 2010 model year.
"The new Volvo V60 is for people who want the handling of a dynamic sports sedan but need the versatility of a wagon," says Volvo, highlighting the reason many of us on the Autoblog team harbor such fondness for wagons in general.
Volvo is currently showing off the R-Design package for its entire model line, including the V60, at the New York Auto Show. We don't know for sure if the V60 will launch with the R-Design package or if it will come at a later date, and we also see no mention of a Polestar edition, though we're hopeful.
2023 Volvos get mild-hybrid engines, XC40 and S60 see styling tweaks
Wed, May 4 2022For 2023, Volvo's entire lineup will now feature both mild-hybrid assist engines and Google Android-based infotainment. Additionally, a couple of models are getting some styling updates. As for powertrains, the XC90, XC40 and V60 Cross Country are finally getting base engines with Volvo's 48-volt hybrid assist. This means that every Volvo on sale will have some level of electrification as standard, and of course plug-in hybrid and full-electric versions of some of its models continue to be offered. The Google Android-based infotainment system's availability is also expanding to the gas-powered XC40 models as well as the S60 and V60 models. As with electrification, this update means every Volvo has the same kind of infotainment. The perks of the new infotainment system include the ability to run apps and features such as Google Maps and Voice Assistant natively in the infotainment system, instead of needing to use a phone. It also enables over-the-air updates so that older models can still have the latest functions. Rounding out the updates are some styling changes for certain models. The S60 and V60 models get new grilles and rear bumper inserts. The XC40 features new headlights, front bumpers and grilles. New colors and wheels are on offer for all models, and Volvo has dropped trim level designations for all cars. The updated Volvo models are going into production with availability this summer. Pricing has not been announced yet. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
