The time has come to sell my baby. I just don't have the time or space to finish what I started. For those of you not familiar with this car, it is a 300+ hp, AWD, 6-speed monster with the luxury and safety that Volvo is well known for. The color combination makes it even more rare!

My 2004 Volvo V70R wagon has been with us for about two years. I purchased it with about 185k miles on it, and it is a wonderful car. It was traded into a dealership I worked at, but I got the chance to meet the owner. He had purchased it at about 97,000 miles, and it was his daily driver. As an outside sales rep, he did a LOT of miles, all highway, and needed the car to be in TOP shape to make sure he could get to his appointments without fail.

The vehicle had many OEM parts installed while he owned it - power steering pump, rack, rear struts, fuel pump ass'y are highlights. He also took the liberty and pleasure of upgrading with $1,000's in tasteful and high quality aftermarket goodies. He fitted a Bell FMIC (front mount intercooler), with silicone piping, Eurosport stainless steel cat-back, upgraded hybrid turbo from Viva Performance, software tune from a RICA PPC handheld programmer, K&N drop in filter, drilled/slotted rotors, OZ Ultraleggeras with Michelin Pilot Sports, M1 Abrahms shift knob, and a boost/voltmeter gauge setup next to the radio inside. The car was also fitted with a Volvo OEM trailer hitch setup.

While driving on the highway, the vehicle stalled out. Unable to start, I towed the vehicle home. After checking compression,it had dropped to 60PSI. I removed the head and had it completely gone through by a machine shop. Two valves were slightly bent, so they were replaced, along with all the valve stem seals. The head was checked and cleaned, and reassembled, the valves were adjusted, and I reinstalled it, along with a brand new OEM timing belt kit, water pump, thermostat, and belt. I also checked and replaced the angle gear (common failure on these cars), with a brand new OEM angle gear. Once back together, the vehicle still had 60-70psi across the board, and after a leakdown test the prognosis was that the rings had given out. The verdict was a fresh bottom end rebuild, with the minimum being rings, maybe some pistons depending on what we found when we took it apart. I estimated the work (removing the engine and reinstalling it myself), accounting for machine work and new pistons, to be around $1500. This would be much less if the pistons could be used again. I also have access to a complete running used motor for $2000 - you could install this and sell the refurbished head, or swap the refurbished head on to the lower end and sell the stock head.

This was a VERY fast car, with over 320 HP at the wheels (dyno tested), manual transmission, all wheel drive, super comfortable, and safe. It really is the car that does everything. It won't take much to finish and when you do, it'll be good for another 200k miles. Aside from the bottom end work, the car doesn't need anything. The front struts are believed to be original, but did not seem worn and aren't leaking. The brakes are all in excellent order. The car comes with a set of almost new Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 snow tires. With these, the car was UNSTOPPABLE in the snow. The Michelin Pilot Sports are brand new (2) and about 500-1000 miles (2) - these are over $300/tires!

I considered parting the car out, but again, I'm short on time and space, and it's too rare and incredible a car to break into pieces. If you want one car to do it all, and have a blast doing it, look no further.

Happy bidding!

Two more Volvo Concept C Coupe teasers drop [w/videos]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

Volvo is planning to take the wraps off its Concept C Coupe tomorrow ahead of an official unveiling at the Frankfurt Motor Show. If you just can't wait until then, though, Volvo has released two more teaser videos for the new concept.
Like the video from earlier in the week, we get a couple more sneak peeks of the stylish two-door including our first glimpse of the interior. The highly conceptual concept likely hints at a future coupe for the Swedish automaker, and after dropping the C30 and C70 from its lineup over the last couple years, this can't come soon enough. Scroll down to watch both new teaser videos, and stay tuned to see more on this car tomorrow.

Volvo V60 Polestar is one hot hauler

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Earlier this year, Polestar jumped from the racetrack to the showroom with its own take on the Volvo S60 sedan. And given the similarity and the proud history of hot Volvo wagons, not to mention the spy shots and teasers, we knew it would only be a matter of time before Volvo's racing partner would return with a similar take on the V60. And that's just what it's done.
Powering the new Volvo V60 Polestar is the same 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six as the sedan, driving 350 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission and Haldex all-wheel-drive system. Hitting 62 miles per hour reportedly happens in the same 4.9 seconds as the sedan, on its way to a stop speed of 155 mph.
The power upgrades come courtesy of a twin-scroll Borg Warner turbocharger, intercooler and overhauled exhaust system. Other upgrades over Volvo's own R-Design model include stiffer springs, Öhlins shocks, 20-inch wheels, Brembo brakes and a full aero kit, not to mention an upgraded cabin from which to command the performance.

Future Polestar Volvo models could feature diesel, EV tech

Tue, 20 May 2014

Volvo's Polestar sub-brand has made the transition nicely from being the company's racing arm to building some seriously cool, Swedish cars. Now that it has a few models under its belt, it plans to grow larger and greener. The next-generation of Polestar-tuned vehicles are rumored to include high-performance hybrid and diesel powertrains.
While it still doesn't have the brand recognition of BMW M or Mercedes-Benz AMG, Polestar is on the growth path. It's representatives recently told Autoblog that its latest, tuned S60 and V60 models "mark the start of an extended production car model range." In addition to that expansion, Volvo has given its performance division a greater responsibility for engineering future vehicles, according to Autocar. It even helped develop the new Drive-E engine, which we quite liked when we took it for a spin in an S60.
Polestar's boss hinted at a hybrid model to Autocar, a move that seems obvious once you think about it. The Drive-E engine was designed from the beginning to accept hybrid layouts. The division's plan is to put and electric motor on the rear axle to both increase torque off the line and provide all-wheel drive. As Drive-E also offers diesel variants, that is in the cards as well for the future, but the company didn't go into much detail. Polestar appears to be the upcoming shooting star of the performance car world.
