Up for bid is my beautiful 1983 242 DL. It Is a car caught in a time warp. The car has no rust, and is original. paint is original, but has that great patina aged look to it. The interior is in excellent shape. The wheels are are in great shape with lots of tread left. the wheels are pastidipped and are pealing a little bit. if you don't want the black 15' wheels, I do have a set of the original 14" silver wheels. it does have IPD sway bars, and has been lowwered a bit by cutting a few coils off the springs. The car has its share of nick chips and fading that comes with 612k miles. But under the hood is where this car really shines. at 600k miles the old boy finaly blew a head gasket. so 13k miles ago the whole engine compartment went through a complete restore. every nut and bolt was put back to the original spec. and was replaced with new parts where possible. the block that was used was a very strong block with about 100k on it, so it should be good for another 500k at least. I have kept with the old look on the outside, but if you chose to paint it, this car would look better then it did when it came off the show room floor. I have two grills for it. one that I drive it with, and the original one with the 100k through 500k badges, and I have the 600k badge still new in the packaging ready to be put on the grill if you choose. feel free to call me 801-885-2969 or email me with any questions. the winning bidder is responsible for all shipping cost. this car is in fantastic shape, but given the age and miles, it is sold "as-is" good luck and happy bidding.

Volvo denies boss Jacoby is taking a run at Opel CEO post
Tue, 07 Aug 2012It seems that every news report that involves the name "Opel" is eventually followed by a report that says, "Uh, never mind." Executives fill positions, then they're gone, or they're supposed to fill positions but duck out before doing so, five-year product offensives turn into grabbing for life preservers, and turnaround plans are followed by... new turnaround plans. With the recent departure of Opel CEO Karl-Friedrich Stracke, Swedish newspaper Dagens Industri reported that Volvo CEO Stefan Jacoby topped the list of candidates to sit in Opel's very hot seat.
Volvo spokesman Stefan Elfstrom has piped up to say "Mr. Jacoby is fully occupied with running Volvo and has no plan for leaving his present job." Stranger things have happened, though, and who knows what the truth is, but we have to admit we'd be surprised if Jacoby jumped off the Volvo express - recently given an $11-billion boost by parent company Geely - to take his chances in the Opel maelstrom.
So Opel's search for a CEO continues. At least we have the Adam to look forward to.
Watch Polestar talk about the development of its super S60
Fri, 03 May 2013Polestar is getting ready to deliver its first production car, the Volvo S60 Polestar. Letting the S60 stretch its legs, Polestar Racing driver Robert Dahlgren took the blue sedan from Barcelona, Spain to Jokkmokk, Sweden - stopping for wet-weather testing in Germany along the way.
Dahlgren narrates the journey of the "pilot project" that has 350 horsepower and around 368 pound-feet of torque, and will perhaps be the first in an era of hardcore Volvo production cars. It will go on sale in Australia this Summer, with other markets "under investigation." While we non-Aussies wait with fingers crossed, there's a video below to enjoy.
Volvo Concept Estate is a brown shooting brake, need we say more?
Wed, 26 Feb 2014Set for a debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show next week, images of the Volvo Concept Estate have found their way onto the web courtesy of Jalopnik. If the Concept Coupe from Frankfurt were a modern P1800, the Concept Estate is a modern P1800ES.
We briefly detailed the finale to Volvo's trio of concept cars earlier this week, when images of it poked out finished in a custom car cover. Now, with a batch of uncovered images at hand, we're able to see just how pretty this brown beauty really is.
Below the beltline, this is pretty much the Concept Coupe, featuring the same T-shaped headlights and wide, rectangular grille. Above the beltline, though, things get fun. The long, glass roof terminates in a squat, wide rear end which is set off by a pair of meaty haunches. The taillights, meanwhile, expand on the style shown on Volvo's Detroit concept, the Concept XC Coupe. And that hatch opens up into a rather cavernous rear end.
