1970 Volvo 164 on 2040-cars
Carmel, Indiana, United States

This is a good daily driver. There has been a repaint at some time before I purchased the car. It is fair but the engine bay and door jams were not sprayed. The motor is the original B30A with twin Zenith-Stromberg 175CD. The motor runs well, it does need some adjustment to the manual choke for improved cold starts. The 3 speed Borg-Warner automatic transmission is, well, the 3 spd BW and a little doggy. The transmission likely needs work but has not let me down. I drive the car 50 miles daily. New tires (5,000 miles) on rare 780 Bertone series wheels. I do have the original steel wheels and caps included with car. The interior is original. The previous owner had the leather seats reconditioned and re-dyed. The carpet has also been re-dyed. Overall the interior is in good shape for 44 years. All dash gauges and components work. The Original volvo radio in place and functional with the exception of being able to tune the lower end of the dial. There has been some body work in the past. I suspect body filler on the rear quarters. I do not have the history however. The car is registered with the Swedish 164 Registry - additional historic information on the car may be available with some detective work. I have owned the car for a year and enjoyed daily use while my '72 164E w/ M410-OD has gotten it's rebuild. I had originally intended to restore both cars but that option no longer seems practical and I am not willing to scavenge parts from this car. |

Volvo promises new direct-injected diesels, 8-speed auto
Tue, 09 Apr 2013As a part of eliminating its dependence on Ford platforms and powertrains, Volvo has previously announced information about its Volvo Engine Architecture (VEA) and Scalable Platform Architecture (SPA), but now we're finally getting some details about what will power some of the Swedish automaker's next-generation products.
The biggest key to VEA on the diesel engines is a new technology Volvo calls i-ART. This system uses unique injectors at each cylinder capable of monitoring fuel pressure and adjusting accordingly to maximize fuel economy and performance and reduce emissions. Looking ahead, Volvo says its four-cylinder engines will be able to offer the power of a six-cylinder and eventually, mixed with some sort of electrification, will be able to rival the performance of a V8 and "turn V8s into dinosaurs."
More details about the new diesel injection technology is posted in the press release below.
New Volvo ad remembers the joy of rear-facing jump seats
Mon, 19 May 2014With the rise in popularity of first the minivan and later the crossover as the default family vehicle, there have been about 20 years of children who have missed out on the joy of rear-facing jump seats in station wagons. It means kids today don't know the pleasure to be found in making faces or lewd gestures at other drivers while their parents can't see. Plus, they don't know the slightly nauseous feeling of watching the world pass by in reverse. However, a group of filmmakers look back with nostalgia at this increasingly uncommon automotive feature in a new ad for the 2015 Volvo V60.
As part of its sponsorship of the National Film Festival for Talented Youth, Volvo commissions a team each year to create an advertisement to be shown during the festival. This year's shows how the company's buyers have gone from riding in the back to driving the brand's cars. Scroll down to check out the charming ad, along with some wistful looks at classic Volvo wagons, before the jump seat is forgotten.
Volvo working to allow groceries delivered to your car, even when you aren't there
Mon, 24 Feb 2014Volvo cites research showing that 60 percent of online shoppers had problems with their deliveries in 2013, and that missed first deliveries cost the industry roughly one billion euros ($1.37B US) in re-delivery costs, as impetus for its "Roam Delivery Service" that delivers packages to your car. The service uses Volvo On Call and Sensus Connect car-connectivity and telematics apps already installed in vehicles, and a digital key with a timed window of operation.
The car owner is notified if delivery to or pickup from the car would be the best option, which they then have the option to approve or decline. If approved, the position of the vehicle is sent to the delivery driver, as well as a digital key that can open the car. Once the delivery has been made, the owner is notified and the digital key is erased, leaving only a time stamp to record when the car was opened and then locked.
The technology will be shown to the public at the Mobile World Congress later this month. There's a video and a press release below with more on the details.
