Rescued from a Texas used car dealership and carefully restored here in Jersey. Here's the real story of Grandma Boone as told to me by her husband and grandson: Carol Boone loved her Turbo and she was very particular about it. Sending it back for local repairs frequently with many minor complaints. I have pages of paperwork with complaints like "whistling noises", "groaning brakes", "uncomfortable seats", "improperly adjusted a/c vents" etc. It's actually pretty funny but Mrs Boone was not shy about spending money on her Volvo. I hold most, if not every, major repair receipt. She rarely drove the car and always kept it in the garage. As she grew older in the 1990's she drove the car less and less frequently. By the end of the 90's, it just sat in the garage. In 2002 it had 12k on the odometer when Mrs. Boone spent over $3500 to put it back on the road. She replaced the gas tank, fuel pumps, lines, distributor, new belts (including timing), trans & coolant flush, oil change, etc. In Summer of '03 she backed into a Texas roadside irrigation ditch and did $1624 of repair damage. Mostly the muffler and rear bumper. Carfax reflects this single minor accident and I have the auto body repair receipt. The accident ended Grandma Boone's driving days and unfortunately she passed away in 2005. Her husband and adult grandson drove the car around locally from 16-24k miles then traded the car into a Texas used car dealership this past summer for . . .... $1000. (They reportedly bought another Volvo if that makes you feel any better). I saw the car advertised on Craigslist and bought it sight unseen then shipped it to Jersey for restoration. So this actually is Grandma's original Turbobrick stored in a Texas time capsule for 3 decades. Interior- The leather seats are soft. Yes, soft tan leather seats. No rips or cracking only minor wear. No dash cracks with only minor sun fading throughout. Sunroof operates perfectly as well as all gauges, switches, chimes and lights. The A/C blows cold as it should. Exterior- The paint is in fantastic shape. A minor blemish here and there but nothing close to clear coat breakdown. One very small ding on drivers front wheel well. Again, there is no rust anywhere on this car. I also have an undercoating receipt from summer of '83. The rims are in excellent shape. Best Virgo's I've ever seen. Only one or two spots of very light rash out of 4. The original optional red bumper stripe is still attached but parts of the stripe are peeling. Mechanics- The car runs and handles perfectly and it's a complete joy to drive. You really get an idea of how tight these cars felt right off of the showroom floor. No record of a wiring harness replacement but there is no need. The original looks nearly perfect. I don't think you could find a used Turbo harness in better shape. Staged 0'd. Bougicord plugs, wires, cap, rotor and oil filter. Bosch alternator Cleaned grounds, replaced fuses, new battery Minor issues- The fuel filter is not OEM Pictures show the Alpine head unit and old glove box lock but both have been properly replaced. Later style rear deck tabs in pictures have been replaced with correct ones. I have a spare tire cover on the way also. Proper plush tan floor mats included. I simply ran it through the car wash for pictures. It would look even better after a nice detailing. Swag around your local meet in style. This car could easily be concourse shown. Maybe drop in an M46? Or it could be stripped down for an epic rebuild around the flawless shell. Or maybe just store it away as a retirement investment (it will surely appreciate in value more than your IRA). Car is currently located in 08501 New Jersey and available for prompt inspection. I am just off Exit 7a of the NJ Turnpike (I-95). I am also very close to Route 1, Route 130, I-195, and trains. NJ Transit's Northeast Corridor line stops nearby in Hamilton and Amtrak stops in Trenton. I'm also 45 mins from Newark and Philly airports. I am also willing to ship this car at 100% your expense. I hold the clean title in hand and will not release it to you without full confirmed payment 12/6 Item relisted because original listing had an incorrect VIN #. (Vin's can't be edited, only relisted) |

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.
Volvo XC90 R-Design adds a dash of sport
Thu, 18 Sep 2014The 2015 Volvo XC90 is a huge leap forward for the Swedish automaker as its first all-new model since leaving Ford ownership. There's a lot riding on the crossover's success, too, because its platform is supposed to underpin Volvo vehicles for years to come. The latest move for the new CUV is adding a little aggressiveness to the look with the R-Design trim for buyers desiring a sportier-looking Swede.
The R-Design joins the already announced Momentum and Inscription trims. Mechanically it doesn't change anything, but ticking the box for the R-Design adds a slightly different grille with horizontal slats, a redesigned lower air dam, new window trim, matte silver side-mirror covers and rectangular exhaust nestled in an altered lower rear bumper. The sportier XC90 comes standard with 20-inch wheels, but a 22-inch design is optional, as well.
The meaner look is carried inside with sport seats covered in Nubuck and Nappa leather, a perforated leather steering wheel and R-Design trim for the gearshift, pedals, floor mats and illuminated tread plates. The touchscreen infotainment system also gets an R-Design theme.
Volvo building new AstaZero safety proving ground in Sweden
Mon, 25 Aug 2014Volvo is an automaker committed to vehicle safety, setting an ambitious target for itself: by 2020, the Swedish automaker envisions that no one will be killed or seriously injured in one of its cars. In order to achieve that goal, Volvo has announced a new proving ground designed specifically to test safety solutions.
Called AstaZero, the new facility near the company's headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, is the result of a $70 million investment. It will cover some 500 acres, with over 60 acres of pavement, four city blocks and three and a half miles of highway. The Active Safety Test Area (the ASTA in AstaZero) will enable Volvo and its partners (including Scania trucks as well as government bodies and university development programs) to simulate city streets, highways, rural roads, roundabouts, T-junctions and more, combining traffic from cars, pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, buses, trucks and even animals in order to account for all manner of potential hazards.
The facility will enable Volvo to test active safety systems and autonomous vehicle operations, and even allow robots to test its prototypes in an adaptive environment that aims to be more flexible than existing proving grounds. Read more about Volvo's commitment to safety in the press release below.
