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's pedestrian airbags may already be on their way out
Sun, 01 Dec 2013As proof of just how quickly automotive technology can advance, just check out the Volvo V40. Developed with an external airbag aimed at better protecting pedestrians in the event of a collision, this innovative safety device could be phased out soon in place of more advanced active safety technologies like pedestrian detection and auto braking.
Go Auto had a chance to talk to Volvo senior VP Lex Kerssmakers at the Tokyo Motor Show, and he suggested that the V40's under-hood airbag will not be used on the next-gen XC90 and might not even be continued on non-SUV models. The passive airbag was designed to deploy at speeds of less than 31 miles per hour to help limit head injuries to pedestrians, but new active technologies are designed to prevent collisions in the first place.
The interview also reveals some details about the new XC90, such as the inclusion of a plug-in hybrid system and the debut of a new safety technology. Kerssmakers told Go Auto that a new Volvo concept will be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show in January, but it won't be for the XC90.
Two more Volvo Concept C Coupe teasers drop [w/videos]
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Volvo is planning to take the wraps off its Concept C Coupe tomorrow ahead of an official unveiling at the Frankfurt Motor Show. If you just can't wait until then, though, Volvo has released two more teaser videos for the new concept.
Like the video from earlier in the week, we get a couple more sneak peeks of the stylish two-door including our first glimpse of the interior. The highly conceptual concept likely hints at a future coupe for the Swedish automaker, and after dropping the C30 and C70 from its lineup over the last couple years, this can't come soon enough. Scroll down to watch both new teaser videos, and stay tuned to see more on this car tomorrow.
Volvo Concept Coupe is brand's 'next-generation P1800' [w/video]
Wed, 28 Aug 2013
Volvo is calling the Concept Coupe its "next-generation P1800."
The teasing can now officially come to an end - Volvo has released all the images, videos and details on its new Concept Coupe, and we're intrigued. The Swedish automaker is calling the concept its "next-generation P1800," and those are some pretty big shoes to fill. Fortunately, it's not all talk; there are clear links to Volvo's much-loved coupe in its shape, though we certainly wouldn't call the Concept Coupe 'retro.'
