1982 Volvo 245 Dl Turbo Diesel Wagon on 2040-cars
Conroe, Texas, United States
Up for sale is my very own, tastefully modified 1982 volvo 245 DL turbo diesel wagon. The turbo is a garrett GT32 with a fresh rebuild and an upgraded 360 degree thrust washer (supports higher boost) It has a legit safety inspection which meant the turning crank works, pelvic straps are in good shape, blinkies and flashers all burn, brakes mostly work as long as the engine is on, The overdrive has been rewired to work 75% of the time, instead of the usual 10%. The front driver seat was reupholstered about 10 years ago, I just replaced the front tires due to the belt separating from the sidewall. Power windows work except for the front passenger side due to blood getting into the motor and brushes from the accident. Power locks work, and I have the original set of keys for the ignition and locks.
Boost will reach about 20psi before settling off, it can goto 40, but the couplers explode. Once those are upgraded to silicone, it will really fly! serious offers only! Will issue a bill of sale only. UPDATE: I shot a video detailing the details in more detail. I want to built a similar vehicle, working ac, powered by an LBZ duramax or OM606 Mercedes engine with a shortened ford 9" diff.... BUY MY VOLVO SO I CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN! Winning bid will have their momento permanently affixed to the new build in your memory. Because without your help, it never would have happened. THANKS! |

Volvo S80 nip/tuck spotted in China
Sun, 16 Dec 2012An early look at the new face of the Volvo S80 has made its way to the web. The Chinese site Auto Sina spotted a revised version of the country's S80L out in public and in plain view. Not too long ago, Doug Speck, the global head of marketing and sales for Volvo, said designers were working on a mild facelift for the S60 and S80, and while it is possible the Swedish manufacturer will roll out a different front fascia for the US market, the move seems unlikely.
The S80L seen here boats a tweaked grille and a Passat-inspired lower valance. New wheels and side-view mirrors also appear to be part of the update, as does a modified rear bumper and exhaust outlets. Volvo is set to debut the facelifed S80 next year, and while the manufacturer hasn't delivered an exact time frame, good money is on the vehicle showing up at the Detroit Auto Show in January or the Geneva Motor Show in March. Stay tuned for more information.
Volvo teases mysterious new small crossover
Thu, 16 May 2013The image you see above is just about all we know of the new Volvo crossover that will be revealed at 8:30 pm Central European Time on May 17 (2:30 pm Eastern Standard Time). Volvo released three very short video teasers, all with the tagline "Leave The World Behind," all of which feature a member of the now-defunct band Swedish House Mafia - Axwell sits in a boat in the first, Sebastian Ingrosso walks toward cabin in the second and Steve Angello stares at the sea in a third.
A microsite, www.leavetheworldbehind.com, accompanies the teasers and it's been said that a short film by Lune will feature the band - Swedish Mafia had a hit in 2009 with the song Leave the World Behind. As for the vehicle, theories are that it could be something between the V40 Cross Country and XC60, the new XC90 or something else entirely. We don't have long to wait, and you can watch both teasers below.
Five vehicles named Top Safety Pick+ including new Civic, MKZ
Fri, 08 Mar 2013In an attempt to help push vehicle safety to a higher level, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety created a stricter Top Safety Pick+ rating last year, which incorporates a brutal small overlap test and requires cars to get Good ratings in four out of the five categories (and no less than Acceptable in the fifth). Joining the list of the safest cars of 2013, the 2013 Volvo XC60, Lincoln MKZ, Honda Civic (sedan and coupe) and the 2014 Mazda6 have all received the coveted TSP+ rating.
The Mazda6 and Lincoln MKZ have both been completely redesigned, and both received Acceptable ratings in the small overlap test. The Honda Civic, coming off its emergency refresh for 2013, is the first small car to be subjected to the small overlap test, and IIHS says that one of the car's many upgrades includes a stiffer front structure allowing it to receive Good ratings in all categories. Similarly, the XC60 gets all Good ratings thanks to, according to IIHS, Volvo updating the airbag software allowing the side airbags to inflate during the small overlap test.
The 2014 Subaru Forester has not yet been subjected to the small overlap test, so it must make do with just a Top Safety Pick rating until the IIHS tests small utility vehicles, which is expected to happen later in the spring.
