Selling this 1981 Volvo DL.  Purchased brand new by "Uncle Ray" in Northern California where it still lives.  The blue paint still shines nice.  It has met with a few parking lot blemishes(see photos and video).  It was maintained and still is to the tee.  A stack of service records accompany the vehicle.  The sunroof still slides nicely.  The interior, although nice by Volvo standards does have a small hole in the driver's side bottom cushion.  There are seat covers covering the front seat.  The passenger front is still nice.  The rear seats look like no one has ever sat in them.  It has been lovingly owned by one owner more over 30 years.  The dash does have some small cracks(see video).  The sunroof slides nicely and it rides on matching tires.  Words cannot describe how nice and original this Volvo is.  I will let the videos and photos show you.  It a vintage Volvo has been in your hearts desire, then this is the one for you.  For, you can search the world and not find an original one like this still owned by the original owner.  He has kept this Volvo in exceptional shape.  It is now ready for the next Volvo owner.  I only hope that whoever gets the Volvo takes care of it as well as "Uncle Ray" did. With all my auctions, a few requirements.  First, NO PAYPAL.  Second, any and all bidders with less than 10 feedback and/or negative feedback must contact me PRIOR to bidding with their full name and contact number.  Third, you are bidding to OWN, not look and make excuses.  Any and all inspections are welcome during the auction period, not after.  Once the auction is completed, you are the NEW owner.  Please make sure you have any and all funds necessary to purchase this vehicle. Also, selling in AS-IS, Where-Is condition with NO WARRANTIES, expressed or implied.  Vehicle is a 33 year old vehicle and although looks and runs good, it should not be considered SHOWROOM fresh.  Seller has represented vehicle to the best of his knowledge and also makes no representations as to the condition of the vehicle.  Vehicle is also advertised locally and seller reserves right to end the auction early and cancel all bids.  So, with a great big, I LOVE VOLVOS yell, let this auction begin.  NO RESERVE.

Volvo V60 Polestar speeds into view

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Send 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.

Volvo specs new 450-hp triple-charged four-cylinder engine

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

When Volvo lifted the veil on the new XC90 a little over a month ago, it announced that all versions would be powered by one engine design: a new 2.0-liter four-cylinder to be offered in various states of tune. That would range, Volvo said, all the way up to a high-output version with "around 400 horsepower," but while it wouldn't specify exact output, now it has.
The new High Performance Drive-E Powertrain incorporates two parallel turbochargers fed by a third electric turbo-compressor. Instead of feeding the cylinders directly, that third unit spools up the twin turbochargers, working together with a dual fuel pump pressurized to 250 bar.
The result is an output of 450 horsepower - far more than the existing 320-hp version and even more than expected. That also works out to 225 hp/liter, far more than the 177 hp/liter boasted by Mercedes-AMG's high-output turbo four and the 139 hp/liter in the Alfa Romeo 4C. Short of a rotary engine (whose actual displacement is the subject of great debate), you'd have to go up to something like the Koenigsegg One:1 (268 hp/liter) to find a higher specific output than what Volvo's boasting here.

Volvo Concept Estate gets official [w/video]

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

The final chapter of Volvo's concept car trilogy has arrived after a few teasers earlier this week, as well as some recently leaked images, and as we so astutely summarized previously, it's a brown shooting brake. Really, we couldn't think of a better type of vehicle to follow up the Concept Coupe from the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Concept XC Coupe from the Detroit Auto Show and complete the Swedish trinity of concepts.
It's best to think of the Concept Estate as the hipper, classier cousin to the Concept Coupe. The two are virtually identical below the beltline, featuring front fascias that are indistinguishable from each other (except one is, you know, brown). Both cars wear wide, rectangular grilles inspired by classic Volvo models and T-shaped headlights Where the Concept Estate differs, obviously, is with its more functional rear end and longer roof.
That rear is accented by the Estate's wide haunches and slim, angular taillights, which borrow heavily from the units shown on the Concept XC Coupe. These two features work in tandem to present a wide, squat appearance from the rear. The profile, meanwhile, shows off that spacious greenhouse, which is made even airier by a glass roof.
