Abandoned(sort of) Volvo 240! - 14 Volvos in the Woods

[@itsmephil2255]

This is the kind of video I love on KZbin An enthusiast that's buying cars that he loves and resurrecting them to go back on the road Well done Dean 👏

[@DeanofMachines]

Just a guy playing with old Volvos! Cheers Phil!

[@mortimergladbreath]

Wow that really cleaned up nice! Amazing that it ran with minimal effort. I installed a reproduction factory hood liner from Swedish Auto Parts yesterday in my 92. I'm expecting a 20 horsepower increase!

[@DeanofMachines]

We really are not surprised it ran. Kinda hurt the excitement of the video LOL. Anywho, we need to find it a nee home!

[@peterungson809]

Keep the videos coming Brother all great stuff!!!

[@DeanofMachines]

Thanks Peter! I’m doing the best I can!!

[@karlbenz4925]

Another terrific video from dry wit and quirky jokes man, and his lovely 240 of course, cheers mate.

[@DeanofMachines]

Thanks Karl! This 240 needs a home!

[@ricksampson6780]

Hi Dean, a local Volvo dealer in my suburb insists that there is still a market for the 240 and its derivatives. Given the "disposable" nature of some vehicle manufactures product range at the moment, I tend to agree with his assertion!

[@DeanofMachines]

There absolutely is a market for 240s!

[@jplock-mg8mx]

That 240 is very saveable. The body look to be in great shape... Impossible to find Volvos in that kind of shape around here... Except if it was stored in a barn...

[@DeanofMachines]

The front is a little bent but I might be able to straighten it out.

[@johnlorrieboskovic2836]

The judges have weighed in on that magnificent dismount from the trailer. The US and Canadian judges gave it a 9.5, the Swedish judge a 9.6, the Norwegian judge abstained and the East German judge gave it an 8.3. Seriously though, well done! If you can't keep 'em, rehome 'em!

[@DeanofMachines]

Its funny how difficult it is to aim a car with 3 flat tires. Ill work on my dismount lol

Nice clean up Dean! Amazing how they turn up so nice after a powerwash ! And that she runs so nice! Thanks for giving this 240 a second/third or sixt chance! I have so much nice memories of these 240’s it was my dad’s favorite car ! Hé sadly passed away 3 years ago . Keep up the good work Dean! And like always 👍🏻👍🏻 🆙

Good looking car and running nicely, all things considered. Steel wheels were the right call.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

What a beast! I even said to Mrs S I bet that just fires up and it did! Love the colour to. Great video dude! Maybe one day we can hang out and do Volvo things 👍

Thank you! I appreciate the love. Its been a lot of work but im enjoying it!!

[@john242ti]

That '92 245 that I had a few years back did something similar. You'd check the oil at a gas station, and nothing on the dipstick. Check it a few hours later, oil all the way up to the seal on the dipstick. It eventually decided to puke oil everywhere. Even lubricated the passenger front Virgo rim that was on the car at the time. Never did find the oil leak. Cam seal was dry, as were the other front oil seals, which were all the modern Volvo gray seals.

[@DeanofMachines]

I's the great Volvo mystery of the indecisive oil!

[@john242ti]

[@VastOverland]

Thank you! Someday Ill dig out the TDI Commando.

[@TomasGraf-rr6co]

That's the blue-green metallic. It was available until 1998. The '93 240 Classic was only available in this or the ruby red.

[@DeanofMachines]

Its a great color!

[@acjack1169]

Nice ,maybe U need A Big Red Battery operated INFLATOR..just maybe....Air makes everything thing look better..

[@DeanofMachines]

You might be on to something there!

[@donsmith8614]

i guess the mold protected the paint, it really came back nicely. That would be a nice car to ride around town in. Lmk if you ever find a 60's p1800s or a 73 1800 es.

Beautiful Volvo , well i should say all the volvos that you have in your back yard are nice .How much are you planning to sell it for? All your videos are nice brother , i love Volvos because my grandfather specialized on european vehicles , but the Volvo was one of his favorite because of the engine and the tough body.

[@DeanofMachines]

If I could get a grand for it Id be happy!

[@rustyshackleford6092]

Since pressure washing old Volvos seems to be your kink, it might be cheaper to just take your washing gear out to the seller and offer to clean them all versus buying another and dragging it to your place. :-p Just giving ya grief, Dean!

[@DeanofMachines]

But then I wouldn't have a massive Volvo horde!!!
