1982 Volvo 240 Stick Shifting Wagon-4-speed Overdrive-new Tires-clean & Original on 2040-cars
Carlsbad, California, United States
|
1982 Volvo DL wagon - 4 speed with overdrive. (It shifts smoothly and the overdrive is working well.) This is a very clean and tidy looking Volvo DL wagon. It has power locks, a 4 speed with overdrive transmission and an after market stereo that works very well. The tires are new. It is a California car and is registered thru April this year. The car passed California Smog check, June 11th, 2014. This is a solid running car. It has that great older Volvo stable road feel. I just took it for a drive on country roads. The suspension is tight, there is little body sway in the corners. The IPD sway bar and Gabriel shocks are doing their jobs. It has very good power, even up hills. The 2.3 liter four cylinder engine is working well. The car has factory air conditioning. The compressor clicks on but the fan is not working. The rear area carpeting has faded. It has a protector mat over it so you see little of the faded area. The brakes are new, both front and rear. If you are coming from out of state and want me to warehouse this for you, I can store it for a month or two if that will help you. This Volvo has Gabriel gas shocks, an IPD sway bar in the rear, a new clutch cable and new overdrive relay. I am in Southern California, about 45 minutes north of San Diego. Call me to make a deal and I will close this listing. Call Jack at: 760-481-8710. |

This Volvo truck is for the birds... literally
Fri, 16 Nov 2012If you were mentally scarred by the Alfred Hitchcock thriller The Birds, you may not want to watch this video. For everyone else, this is a rather perplexing event. It appears that thousands of pigeons are released from a Volvo truck at the command of a whistle. It looks visually stunning, but for what purpose? Well, we're not entirely sure, but it looks to be the simultaneous release at the start of a major pigeon race.
Now, we don't suspect that Volvo has eschewed its self-titled Volvo Ocean Race for a more avian-inspired competition. We're also not quite sure where this competition is being held, but it may be an annual event, as we also found a similar video with a different MAN rig on YouTube that was posted in 2011. but if you have even the slightest case of Ornithophobia, you best steer clear of this feathered mob. Otherwise, check out the video of this massive flock on the move in the video below. We've even thrown in a video of the gas station scene from Hitchcock's 1963 classic to get you in the mood.
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.
Tony Nicolosi confirmed as Volvo's North American CEO
Tue, 14 Jan 2014This past October, John Maloney stepped down from his post as CEO at Volvo Cars North America. In his place, the Swedish automaker tentatively promoted Tony Nicolosi, who had until then served as head of Volvo Car Financial Services. The appointment was reportedly temporary, giving Nicolosi the title of acting CEO. But according to Automotive News, his position has now been confirmed for the long run.
Although Volvo has yet to announce a new director for its financial arm, Nicolosi says they have found the right person and will announce sometime between now and the National Automobile Dealers Association convention, set to take place later this month in New Orleans.
Last month, Volvo also announced that its global communications chief Bodil Eriksson is moving from the home office in Gothenburg to the North American office in Rockleigh, New Jersey. Anders Kärrberg has been promoted from the government affairs post to take Eriksson's place.
