1986 Volvo 240 wagon. Runs Great. Inspected until October of this year (it runs out soon!). I am the second owner. Everything works except the air conditioning (needs charging) and odometer, which just stopped. Automatic transmission shifts great, a little crisp between 1-2 in cold but smooths out. No slipping, probably just needs a flush. 233,000 miles. Doesn't leak or burn any oil, no smoking, no knocks. Smoke and pet free interior. I have copies of records for the car back until about 2004 - it was bought new at Lehman Volvo in York, PA and they likely have even more in their files. Plenty of power. Needs a driver's lower seat cover. Has very little rust. One spot about 2x6" on the driver's side floor (flat area) and some rust around a the passenger floor area which Lehman "patched" with sheet metal screws. Replacement parts from Klokkerholm are about $80, and they are in the flat parts of the floor so it should be an easy weld (or use 3M panel adhesive, works just as well without a welder). The rockers are solid. It passed inspection with that so it might not be a big deal at all. Rear tire wells are solid, tail gate is solid. Has a few dings here and there, the paint is a bit faded, but overall a nice attractive ride. Clear title in my name. I will cooperate with your shipper. I will not make shipping arrangements. If you bring a tag and insurance, you can drive the car home. It drives that well. $500 non-refundable deposit within 48 hours, pickup within 14 days of auction close. Any questions, feel free. it's listed locally so I have the right to close the sale at any time.

Volvo Pure Tension concept folds solar charging pavilion into trunk

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

Even by the 'anything-goes' standards of concept cars, this one is a head-spinner: the "Pure Tension" Volvo V60 Pavilion, commissioned by Volvo Italy and winner of the Pure Volvo Pavilion Design competition. The alien form seen hovering all over the rendered V60 is a pavilion, as in the kind erected for trade shows or outdoor events. Developed by Synthesis Design + Architecture, Buro Happold, and Fabric Images, the pavilion is a flexible mesh structure held in place by a carbon fiber rods.
What's more, the mesh is embedded with photovotaic cells so that the pavilion can absorb energy from the sun or indoor lighting, making it a portable charging station. It can power itself or the crossover, the V60 at the center of it all being a diesel hybrid that plugs straight into the pavilion. When it's time to go, the entire structure can be folded small enough to fit in the trunk of the car.
We're told it will be shown in September in Rome. Even if we never see this particular creation on the streets, it's comfortable proof that our future will eventually be wilder than we can imagine.

Irv Gordon's Volvo P1800 has reached 3 million miles

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

While we were seated at our desks like good worker bees yesterday, Irv Gordon was continuing his assault on the record books. Gordon, if you recall, is the original owner of a red 1966 Volvo P1800 (owner and car shown above), and yesterday, Volvo says the coupe's odometer clocked its three-millionth mile. The miracle mile occurred on the Seward Highway in Alaska, one of only two states that Gordon had never visited.
It took the New York native more than 20 years to hit his first million miles in 1987 and another 15 years to achieve two million miles in 2002, but a road trip to Alaska will further cement his place in the record books as the car surpasses three million miles. Gordon has almost doubled the 1.69-million mile distance that helped him win a Guinness Book of World Records title for the most miles logged on an originally owned car, and this new momentous distance proves the durability of both man and machine. For more information on Gordon's feat, scroll down for a Volvo press release or check out a website set up to celebrate his latest milestone.
