|
Selling an excellent specimen garage find 1978 Volvo 242 DL. Amityville Volvo Car originally. 90,000 Original miles. Last registered in 1990. I changed all the bulbs in dash and got the gauges working when I got the car last fall, replaced driveshaft bushing and bearing. Installed new fuel injectors. Rebuilt fuel distributor. New intake gasket. Engine has good compression and was running and driving last fall, but K-jet injection system is funky. It has a tank of clean fuel after fuel flush with new fuel pump, and filter. Starter is good, as is clutch. Tires are old but have tons of tread, minor dry rot, as it was stored in a garage in NYC. Interior is overall in excellent condition without sunfade or typical cracked dash, but could use a deep clean. I have all 4 center-hubcaps, original spare and tool kit. Comes with regular original gas cap, and Volvo locking cap. Car is a manual 4 speed transmission and manual windows. Has awesome vintage WORKING tape deck radio (not volvo original). Easiest solution for the fuel issues is a LH conversion, Volvo guys know what I'm talking about. A long day and $150 and it's reliable, I just have too many projects. Call with questions or to come check it out. (908)3345710. This is a no reserve auction, Winning bidder wins. I reserve the right to sell the vehicle locally, or cancel a bid because of low or no feedback.. Thanks!

Apple CarPlay drawing early safety concerns [w/video]
Sun, 09 Mar 2014Apple's CarPlay infotainment system hasn't made it into a single vehicle yet, and it's already drawing criticism for distracting drivers among safety advocates. The new tech unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show pairs users' iPhones with the car's dashboard display to make calls, dictate messages and listen to music. Some automakers, like Volvo, also let users interact with the HVAC system from the screen.
"The idea that people want to be on their phones, and therefore let's give them a way to do that -- that's not putting safety first, that's putting convenience and the desire to be in touch first," said Bruce Hamilton, manager of research and communications at the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, to CNN Money.
Distracted driving is a huge concern on modern roads with more vehicles allowing drivers to use their smartphones through Bluetooth and infotainment systems. A Texas A&M study found that drivers' reaction time doubled while dictating text messages, according to CNN Money. The new tech is certainly not making drivers pay more attention.
Current Volvo XC90 to live on in China?
Fri, 28 Mar 2014The current, long-serving Volvo XC90 might not be going away as soon as we thought - at least not in China. According to word from CarNewsChina, the crossover's production will be moved to Daqing, China, in December and from that point on, be built at Geely's factory. The only available engine will be a 2.5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder.
According to the report, the present XC90 and the imminent next-generation model will both be sold in the market, but the Chinese-made vehicle will be positioned as a cheaper alternative. Geely will also develop a crossover of its own from the platform that should be ready in late 2015.
Volvo plans to launch the new XC90 later this year to replace the aging model, which has been on the market for over a decade. It will ride on the company's new Scaleable Product Architecture platform and will be powered by the automaker's new Drive-E four-cylinder engine family. Hybrid versions will also be available.
Volvo V60 Polestar speeds into view
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Send us photos of a new wagon out testing, and you've got our attention. Send us photos of a fast wagon lapping the Nürburgring and, well, we're just as giddy as can be. Our spy shooters just blessed our inbox with some fresh shots of Volvo's new V60 wagon out testing in Polestar guise, sporting the same Rebel Blue paint job as the thunder-from-Down-Under limited-edition S60 Polestar, as well as an aggressive front fascia, huge wheels, Brembo brakes, a rear diffuser panel and a roof spoiler. Hello there, hot stuff.
Like its sedan counterpart, the V60 Polestar is expected to use a boosted version of Volvo's 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine, pumping out something like 350 horsepower. To keep everything in check, that force will almost certainly be sent to the ground via all-wheel drive.
It's unclear if Volvo will sell the V60 Polestar as a limited-edition affair for our friends in Australia, or if this longroof hot-hauler will be offered in other markets this time. After all, Volvo is bringing the V60 over to American soil early next year, so consider our fingers - and toes - crossed.
