1982 Volvo 240 Stick Shifting Wagon-4-speed Overdrive-new Tires-clean & Original on 2040-cars
Carlsbad, California, United States
|
1982 Volvo DL wagon - 4 speed with overdrive. (It shifts smoothly and the overdrive is working well.) This is a very clean and tidy looking Volvo DL wagon. It has power locks, a 4 speed with overdrive transmission and an after market stereo that works very well. The tires are new. It is a California car and is registered thru April this year. The car passed California Smog check, June 11th, 2014. This is a solid running car. It has that great older Volvo stable road feel. I just took it for a drive on country roads. The suspension is tight, there is little body sway in the corners. The IPD sway bar and Gabriel shocks are doing their jobs. It has very good power, even up hills. The 2.3 liter four cylinder engine is working well. The car has factory air conditioning. The compressor clicks on but the fan is not working. The rear area carpeting has faded. It has a protector mat over it so you see little of the faded area. The brakes are new, both front and rear. If you are coming from out of state and want me to warehouse this for you, I can store it for a month or two if that will help you. This Volvo has Gabriel gas shocks, an IPD sway bar in the rear, a new clutch cable and new overdrive relay. I am in Southern California, about 45 minutes north of San Diego. Call me to make a deal and I will close this listing. Call Jack at: 760-481-8710. |

12-year-old golfer wins Volvo for hole-in-one [w/video]
Wed, 27 Aug 2014Some people just have all of the luck. Natasha Oon, a 12-year-old girl in Malaysia, was recently attending the 40th RSGC Ladies Amateur Open Championship at the Royal Selangor Golf Club with her parents. On a whim, she teed up a shot with her eight iron and scored a hole-in-one. That would have been impressive for a girl her age by any standards, but she didn't see the sign that said making the shot also won her a new Volvo XC60 T5. Not a bad prize for a tween who won't be allowed to drive for at least a few years.
So what does any good 12-year-old do with a CUV? Give it to her parents of course. According to website Paultan, she plans on giving the crossover to her mom and told her, "this is the car that you will use to drive me to school every day." Scroll down to watch video of Oon receiving the oversized key to the Volvo with her family and a brief interview with her about what she was thinking when she found out she won a car for sinking a fantastic shot.
Leno drives Volvo P1800 from Roger Moore's The Saint
Thu, 18 Sep 2014Outside of a few notable exceptions, Volvo usually isn't associated with making beautifully curvaceous vehicles. But in the 1960s and early '70s the company proved with the P1800 that its cars didn't only have to be safe but staid family transportation. Underneath that shapely styling were a lot of components from the brand's parts bin, but that didn't bother Roger Moore when he drove one of these in the TV series The Saint. Actually, the future James Bond actor didn't just get behind of one of these; he owned this exact 1967 P1800 S. It's this week's highlight on Jay Leno's Garage.
Moore was the car's original owner, but it also appeared in studio scenes of The Saint. Despite its famous provenance, when owner Bill Krzastek bought the P1800 in England, it was in pretty rough shape. The Volvo underwent a nine-month restoration to get it back into shape, which included some new body panels and wheels. Krzastek claims that much of the interior is original, though.
Krzastek comes off has a little bit nerdy, but you have to give him credit. He absolutely loves his Volvo and knows something about practically every detail of his car's history. Krzastek even refinanced his house to fund the purchase and restoration of the P1800. Although, with the right maintenance these old Swedes have been known to go millions of miles. Enjoy this look at one that was a star of the screen in the '60s.
2015 Volvo XC90 proves Sweden's auto industry is alive and well [w/video]
Fri, 03 Oct 2014The most important new Volvo in quite some time has made its first auto show appearance, with the second-generation XC90 debuting at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.
As we discussed in both our original post and Deep Dive feature, the new XC90 remains a three-row crossover for 2015, although it ditches the first-gen model's top-end, turbocharged six-cylinder in favor of a single twin-charged, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine. By pairing that with a plug-in-electric powertrain, the king of the XC90 range, the T8 TwinEngine, will offer up 400 horsepower. So yeah, performance should be brisk.
Also appearing on 2015 XC90 will be an entirely new, Apple CarPlay-compatible infotainment system with a big, vertical touchscreen display at its heart. Based on the videos we've seen, the new system looks responsive, feature-laden and quite attractive.
