1981 Bone Stock Original Volvo 244 Dl / Always Garaged / Museum Condition!!! on 2040-cars
Temecula, California, United States
|
I am selling my beloved 1981 VOLVO 244 DL. This DL is perhaps the nicest you will ever see. I bought it from a lady here in San Diego. She bought it when she was 50 and let it go when she was 81. The Volvo traveled only 30 miles per day when she owned it. To and from work for 31 years. She told me the furthest it ever went was 50 miles. My wife and I were lucky enough to buy it last year for her to go back and forth to work. She loved, garaged and carefully maintained the Volvo just as the original owner had done. This Volvo has been garaged its entire life. The previous owner had custom seat covers made for both the front seats. They are in perfect condition and so are the original front seat covers. If you notice in the pictures the PO even made leather hand grips on the drivers side interior door so as to not ruin the original grips. I have a detailed letter from her ( 81 years old ) that I will pass on to the winning bidder describing the Volvo and the years she owned it since new. The Volvo is Museum quality in my opinion. The original paint is in fantastic condition, interior is a 10 out of 10. There are no dents, there is no rust, the undercarriage is in great condition with no leaks, the 4 cylinder B21f ENGINE runs perfect, the Volvo transmission is in perfect running condition also, trunk is flawless, great tires, no issues with electrical, everything on this Volvo works perfectly. AC is cold, heater works perfect. Everywhere we go in this Volvo people stop to have a closer look. It is a time capsule and looks new inside and out. The pictures pretty much speak for themselves. The Volvo was always properly maintained and as a result runs perfect. IF your looking for a classic Volvo 244 and want to drive the closest thing to a new one from back then in 1981 then you should try and win this auction. It has been an honor to have owned it for the past year. I collect a variety of classics but am selling this one since my wife just bought a Toyota Avalon and has decided to go with a newer vehicle. Volvo's are very tough, run forever and are extremely comfortable to drive. They also get great fuel mileage ( approx. 25 mpg ). I do have receipts that I will pass along to the winning bidder. The Volvo is currently garaged and is NOT being driven. I have set the reserve fairly in my opinion based on the rarity and condition of this DL. It ain't cheap though so if your looking for a ''beater'' then don't bother to bid. This vehicle is either for a collector, a museum or someone who wants a classic Volvo to travel around in. I will answer all questions and post the answers on Ebay for everyone to see. I do have extra pics and can take other pics if you need some. Just email and let me know. Thanks. Globalvu3nn3.

How does a massive Volvo truck compare to a Koenigsegg on a track?
Tue, 11 Nov 2014Volvo Trucks thinks that its latest FH semi truck has a little sports car DNA mixed in with the ability to haul heavy loads thanks to its novel dual-clutch gearbox. And the company's marketing department certainly has an intriguing strategy to get the word out about the big rig's sporty traits. First, it staged a prank on an unsuspecting valet on the Italian Riviera, and now the FH has lined up a track battle around the Knutstorp racetrack against Sweden's ultimate supercar - a Koenigsegg One:1.
Fifth Gear host Tiff Needell takes the reins of the big Volvo and spends a little bit of time talking up its I-Shift Dual Clutch gearbox. However, the real fun is seeing the FH taking on the One:1. Of course, a head-to-head battle would hardly be fair against these extremely mismatched opponents. Instead, the challenge is for the 1,360-horsepower Koenigsegg to lap the track twice in the same time or less than the semi can do it once.
You just have to watch the video to see how if the big rig rises to the challenge. Also, scroll down to read Volvo Truck's press release touting the new gearbox, and check out the company's YouTube channel for more views of the race and a behind-the-scenes look.
Volvo planning Golf rival, 'breathtaking' C60 coupe
Wed, 01 May 2013Despite just having refreshed nearly its entire portfolio, Volvo is still in the middle of a big product offensive. Vehicles like the C30 hatchback and C70 convertible have been given the axe, but a brand-new platform is being developed in addition to the Scalable Platform Architecture (SPA) that will underpin larger vehicles. According to Automobile, this means some very interesting newcomers may be on tap for the brand.
Volvo, in collaboration with Geely, is said to be working on a new platform about the size of a Volkswagen Golf that will likely spawn both a sedan and hatchback. Automobile reports that while the automaker's new scalable architecture is quite flexible, it cannot be stretched (or rather, shrunk) to accommodate a smaller vehicle.
Instead, SPA will be used for the company's larger offerings, starting with the V40 on the small end. (Though to our eyes, the current V40 looks plenty Golf-sized to us.) A new XC40 is apparently in the works, as is an S90 flagship, and new versions of the XC60, XC90 and S60 will all be coming based on this new flexible architecture.
Next Polestar Volvo sounds great, whatever it is
Fri, 15 Nov 2013Something - we don't know what yet - is coming from Polestar. While we'll be recovering from next week's LA Auto Show and Tokyo Motor Show (and starting to slack off ahead of an extended Thanksgiving weekend), the official tuner of Volvo products has announced plans to unveil its latest creation in less than two weeks.
Based on this video teaser, we can only imagine (and hope) that it's the souped-up Volvo V60 recently caught testing by our spy shooters. The idea of a high-performance Volvo wagon was already enough to get us giddy last month, but the exhaust note in this video is downright captivating. Scroll down to watch the teaser for yourself, and be prepared for some bright blue wagony goodness to be revealed on November 26.
