The one million mile Volvo was a Volvo 740 from 1991. But i think the Volvo P1800S from 1966 that was driven by Irv Gordon, he put 3.2 million miles on it is the coolest of them both!!

[@UltraSuperDuperFreak]

Also he was not truely gifted the new car. Its was for a few years use only. With option to buy or something.

[@fishtigua]

The Volvo S80 also came with the Yamaha V8, super rare, super sexy. There's a UK channel called Geoff buys Cars that has a lot of old Volvo content.

[@Kent.]

They sounds so good!!!

[@maciejgajoch1774]

They had gearbox problems

[@JamesField]

I've got the Yamaha 4.4 V8 in my XC90. Lovely engine. One of my favourite little known Volvo stories is that, before they chose Yamaha to build the largely Volvo-designed V8, Volvo approached Cosworth to build them something special for the forthcoming S80. Cosworth delivered a handful of prototype engines which were essentially two 850 engines joined at the crank. It was a 4.3 litre naturally aspirated quad cam V10. The best part is, Volvo fitted 5 of them to 850 mule cars and did a bunch of heat soak testing around Gothenburg, so there were a bunch of 850s with enormous V10 engines shoehorned under the bonnet driving around Sweden in the 1990s. Wild. I wish at least one of those cars had survived.

[@JamesField]

@@maciejgajoch1774 I think you're thinking of the early transverse 6 cylinder engines. They were too long to fit with the standard Aisin-Warner automatic transmission, so they fitted a smaller General Motors box, which was too weak. Later iterations had a shorter inline 6 (SI6) engine, allowing the stronger Aisin-Warner shifter to fit. I haven't heard of any problems with the transmission on the V8, other than it needs a fluid change every 100k miles or so. Mine's a little overdue at 140k miles, but still smooth. Will probably get it done at the next service.

[@jasonnelson6624]

​@@JamesFieldI cant speak for @maciejgajoch1774 but it's a know issue with the xc90's or at least for 2007. I'm pretty sure that whole generation was at risk. Not sure if it was due to lack of proper maintenance or maybe due to abuse. But I had a friend who was an independent Volvo mechanic, and when I was considering an xc90 because of that motor. He warned me about their transmission. He said the vechicle was still great. Of course I understand that hasnt been your experience. Which is more valid then me not having any experience, with xc90's totally understand that.

I think the most legendary Volvo engines are the redblock (1.8-2.3l i4 made from 1974 to 1998), 5 cyl whiteblock (2.0-2.5l made from 1991 to 2016) and the D5 (2.4l turbo diesel i5 made from 2002 to 2017 its also the first diesel built by Volvo).

[@Kent.]

The 240/260 and 740/760 was I4 or V6, the 960 had a I6, they never had a I5 that's the 850, S40/V40, S60, V70. S80 and so on that had the I5 engines. I have a S80 I5 2.5T 2010 myself, love the sound!!

(BMW M57), which is one of the few diesel engines that can give the legendary OM606 a run for its money on both sound and power.

My dad's 940 turbo (sedan) is one of my favorite cars I've driven. Doesn't win any prices in terms of power, drive comfort, or sportiness but it's really well-balanced. From track day to family vacation with a caravan, Volvo gets you covered. Maintenance is easy and cheap and wide range of aftermarket support.

[@rollshair3017]

Hello, i have been watching your videos for a while and i am quite the Volvo nut, i own an 850 turbo and a 240 sedan myself, and the general rule of thumb with Volvos is if its a 4 cylinder petrol car made before 1995, its RWD. if it its a 5 cylinder petrol, its FWD. Though the FWD 5 cylinders are not as loved as the RWD cars, they are still incredible cars and definitely worth looking into (especially an 850 Turbo/T5/T-5R/R). Though it is tempting to jump straight into one of these Swedish boxes, i recommend looking deeper into the dedicated communities with classified pages to find one that's perfect for you, as these cars (240/260740/760/940/960/850) are most definitely NOT WORTH anything above $10k and beyond. Most ok condition RWD 80s Volvos are somewhere around $2K - $6K from everywhere I've seen, i implore you to do some further digging on finding the perfect one for you.

[@IWrocker]

@@rollshair3017 great advice thank you 🙏

[@TheGhostman64]

It might actually be cheaper for you to buy a volvo here in Sweden and then import that one to the US since volvos are on a high demand in the US from what I've seen on other channels. Heck! Import two of them and sell one and make a profit. haha

[@Inferiis]

2:40 that inline 5 is amazing

[@torfinnsrnes6232]

Most volvos with rear wheel drives (240, 740 and 940 series) has spicer/ dana axles and redblock motors. These combos can handle a lot of power. The redblocks can easy handle 600 hp. The newer white blocks not so much, used in 850 and v70 series.

[@teddyfastbear]

140-240-740-940 always came with inline 4 the redblock, there is few so called 60/80s after the 7 who had 6 cyl and v6 scrap engine from renault, they never came with 5 or 6. the volvo diesel, is not a volvo diesel its from a WV transporter/buss thats also scrap but thats the only 6 cyl a volvo has thats fitted even in the lower budget cars. and as for stock the only real volvo turbo is the volvo 740 turbo before 88, and most of the true ones was exported to US and never got back, after that the turbo version is just a bling, as volvo has both turbo and non turbo with almost the same HP, but the true old before 88 turbo had almost 190hp and the newers turbo due to regulations only had max 160. stock. the inline 5 enginges comes from 850 and up and their are refitted in the older cars to get rwd and the legendary sound of an inline 5 engine, and ofc newer generations of kids can modify an newer engine easier then an old tech. there are lots of shitboxes volvos in the us and ca, you just need to not put in miles I guess to find them, and yes volvos has been started to be expensive in sweden to as generations of youth destroys them, even myself when I was 18, atm I had mine for the last 10 years and never changed the oil, I just put new in so to speak, they are old tanks and a nice example can reach between 10-30k easy, but shitboxes maybe 2-3k, still expensive if i recall when I was youth and could buy one for a pack of beer, and sell the lights to buy me new beer.

[@NorwayVFX]

The old Volvo ''bricks'' are great for racing and drifting. Cars are light weight yet fairly strong, engine bays are huge and the suspension is pretty well designed too. Very easy to install steering lock kits for massive steering angle. People have fit Mercedes V12 engines, Viper V10s, Barra engines, Big Block Chevys etc.

[@Necronomous]

Yeah, they had to fix the enginebay to fit V12, V10 and Big Block Chevy's. The only engine that fitted in an untouched enginebay of a 740 was the small Rolls Royce V8 engine smallblock. Everyone that wanted to fix their 740 or 760 with a V8 without changing too much chose the small Rolls Royce V8 engine. They did this in early 2000. But these days they put a BMW V8 in them instead.

[@sebsch1858]

Unfortunately, this looks like a normal price to me these days. Seems to be in a very good condition. So I guess the price would be the same here in Germany. I‘ve seen some E30 316 for about 20,000 € here which shows how insane the market for used cars is at the moment.

[@Sellyei]

We had a S80 ( from 2004 I think? ), had 2,5l diesel, 5 cylinder, front drive, 2 ton car, but ate only like 7,5l of diesel per 100 km. Was robust as a tank. We survived a side collision with a big truck that wanted to change to our lane but didnt notice us or something, rammed the rear right door, dented it in, otherwise nothing happened....those doors were THICCC as hell. Best tank I have ever driven. And dont even start me on the seats. It were like couch seats. Best seats I have ever sat in.....not even my Mercedes has as comfortable seats as that Volvo had.

[@zigezang]

The old box car, 3 digit models I believe the second digit was the cylinder count. So 140 was 4 cylinder, 850 5 cylinder and so on. There where 760 and 160 etc with v6 engine. 850 was also the first front wheel drive afaik.

[@NorwayVFX]

For the most part yes but they did mess around with the numbering a few times. The Volvo 360, 460 and 480 had inline 4 engines. The Volvo 780 was a 2 door version of the 740 with either a V6, inline 6 diesel or an inline 4. Back in the days with the 100 series and early 200 series, the last digit represented the amount of doors as well. 142 was 100 series with inline 4 and 2 doors. 164 was 100 series with inline 6 and 4 doors. 245 was 200 series with inline 4 and 5 doors ''estate/wagon''. etc

[@thebigandthesmallthings]

As far as i remmember it is like this: In old days - from around 1966 the numbers were assigned as follow: 142 was a serie 1 with 4 cylinders, and 2 doors, they also made the 144 and the 145 Then there was the 164 where it was an inline six 242 was a serie 2 with 4 cylinders and 2 doors + there was the 244 and 245 The 145 and 245 was the wagon. At the end of the 2 serie, they stopped using the number of doors in the digits, so it became the 240 and 260. The last one to mention the number of cylinders was the 850, which later was the foundation for the V70. The new numbers indicates if it is a Sedan, a Wagon or a Coupe. S, V and C (V for versatility) and the number refer to the platfom: e.g. S40, S60, S80, - the bigger the number the bigger the platform would be.

[@falukropp2000]

As american cars have a great popularity in Sweden, it was the dream of every 18-year old to have a "yankee car" but it was far from accessable, because they were expensive. So you had to resort to an old Volvo, they were great cars but boring, your granny had one. Their qualities, great for rally, indestructible tanks, cheap because the market were flooded by them, easy to double or triple the hp as the engine would take "anything", all those things were taken for granted. The rust would eventually end your Amazon/121 but until then you had a stock rally car better than anything else. The 240 was a tank in all aspects, nearly as good as the amazon for rally, it really took some effort to end it but rust did it in the end. The 740, now Volvo put an end even to rust. That is the true tank even though the 240 feels more "tank-like". Any friday night in a rural town you can still expect to see a 740 sedan with 5-6 people in it, skidding through the roundabouts as in this clip. The slogan "drive it like you hate it" were no joke, they were made for it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHW0h4SrgcZleJo PS: 200.000 km on a Volvo 240 is nothing, still brand new. It will go 200.000 more without any problem. And then 200.000 more. A guy in Finland drove a 245 for 1 million km's and bragged about it to the Volvo CEO as he saw him on a car exhibition. The CEO just asked "why don't you drive it another million km's" as just one million was nothing. So the guy did. It wouldn't go for 17000$ in Sweden, maybe more like 5-7000$ perhaps. There was a time not far away where you could get it for 500-1000$. You could find an old fullsize american car cheap and swap it for a 240 with a swede. I guess an old police-spec Crown Vic would get you a very nice Volvo in return. (No idea what you would have to pay for that Crown Vic but you get the idea, what is common in the US are rare in Sweden and vice versa)

RWD patrol are 4 and 6cyl. The 5cyl came with FWD while owned by Ford if i remember right Also 2JZ swaps are quite popular

[@JamesField]

5 cylinder started with the 850 in the early 1990s, before Ford. Ford came along in the early 2000s and basically bought Volvo for the P2 platform (S80 at the time, and later V70, S60 and XC90) because it was so ahead of its time. But you're right that it started with the FWD cars. The design brief was to have an engine as smooth and powerful as a 6 cylinder, whilst still being able to fit sideways in the engine bay.

A fully built T5 can dish out 500 hp. The car next to it won’t even know. The perfect sleeper. Volvo. For Life. ❤

[@alwynemcintyre2184]

In Australia 144/244 Volvos have had V8's put in them, definitely Holden V8's but probably others as well.

[@kauratool]

140k miles is nothing XD here they have something like 250k miles or more XD and more they have... one with +600k miles

[@Bassalicious]

Never buy an old Volvo with a diesel. They had 6 cyl VW diesel engines with like 60hp if you're lucky and they aren't exactly bulletproof either. The petrol Redblocks on the other hand are pretty much bulletproof and make decent power, especially with a turbo. The 6 cyl petrol Volvos from back in the day (before Ford bought them) were Peugeot V6's and had looots of issues. Nobody likes those. If you're gonna get an old Volvo, make sure the block is red and that it's petrol. Turbo Redblock is where it's at. Edit: LMAO 200k km for a Redblock is NOT a lot. That's basically just broken in. Mine has 450k on the clock and purrs like a kitten. Old Volvos never die.

[@AndrewNinov]

The only one I found in my country (Bulgaria) in prefect condition is a '91 Volvo 740 GLE and it goes for around $4000. Yeah, expensive!

[@rekleif]

Check out the Volvoghini project. A Volvo 245 with an engine from the Lamborghini Gallardo made by Peter Bjork.

[@roykliffen9674]

If importing European cars is allowed, I've found a 1991 Volvo 240 break for a mere €3,250 ($3,617) in Den Helder, the Netherlands. It only has 730,000 km (453,601 miles) on the clock. Of course you'll need to fork out some more dough to get it to you. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@yngvekristoffersen7403]

My first car back in `95 was a `72 Volvo 240. The engine had gone 150miles and could go for hundreds more, but the body was too rusted… a very normal problem here in Norwas due to all the salt used on winter-roads. Fun fact: the engine bay was big enough that I could sit next to the engine when changing plugs etc. Someone even changed the little 4cyl engine for a V8 truck engine and only had to strengthen the suspention and brakes to get it road-legal… No modifications needed to make room for that beast of an engine.

[@hrafnatyr9794]

I checked one used car site in a 75 mile radius around Peoria Il. and found 56 used Volvos with prices starting just under $5000 😁

[@suomenpresidentti]

My dad left me a rustfree blue volvo 240 as an only heritage from him in 2011. Not running properly, I sold it for 750 euros back then. Greetings from Finland 🎉

[@module79l28]

3:31 - Judging by the placement of the exhaust, it's a turbo diesel. 21:22 - Portugal here. I just did a quick search on the 2nd-hand market and I only found 3 pre-1997 units for sale: 1- A 1990 240 GL Estate (2.0L, petrol, 117hp, manual) with 340.000kms (~211.000mi) for €6.990. 2- A 1991 960 Turbo 16V sedan (2.0L, petrol, 190hp, manual) with 339.000kms (~210.000mi) for €2.950. 3- A 1995 850 T5 R Estate (2.3L, petrol, 250hp, manual) with 286.000kms (~166.000mi) for €19.500.

[@robertberes7402]

If you buy a Volvo you will not be dissapointed. But on diesels, from 2000/2001 volvo made its own diesel engine, the full alu block 5 cylinder common rail D5. Before that they used VW 2.4 i6 diesels in the rear wheel drive cars. FWD cars 850, S70 used the VW 2.5 tdi I5 diesels. Petrol engines are developed by Volvo, i4, mighty i5, i6, and was a Yamaha co-developed engine the 4.4 V8, in S80, and XC90s. They are good, you will not dissapoint. And i think you should watch and react to this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGiwimaInpuDeKM

[@Bassalicious]

I drive a '92 Volvo 245. I'd looove to modify the engine, build a custom turbo kit, program it myself, make it more efficient and less polluting than it is right now. But alas I live in Germany. I'd get quartered, whipped and hung from the nearest police station if I even thought about doing that and having the audacity to drive it on the roads here. I want better brakes and suspension but I'm being told "it's unsafe" and that I need to pay hundreds of thousands just to legalize it. I hate it here :( Edit: I paid 3k€ for mine in decent condition with little rust and almost the exact trim I wanted. Germany is pretty expensive though because of the TÜV and stuff.

[@bigsweade]

In sweden, where they were built, we still can find these pretty cheaply. But at this age most of them has passed 200.000Km a long long time ago. Personally, the coldest start I've had was -42 degrees celcius with a Volvo 850 from -92. I didn't think it would start up, but after just a few tries she purred like a kitten. The engines were built to last in those days.

[@JamesField]

Regarding Diesels, Volvo didn't have their own Diesel engine until relatively recently. The various RWD bricks used the Volkswagen inline 6 Diesel, known in Volvos as the D24. The small RWD cars (340) used a Renault-sourced 1.6 litre 4 cylinder Diesel known by Volvo as the D16. At the start of the FWD era, the smaller cars (440, S40) continued using Renault 4 cylinder Diesel engines. I had a V40 with the Renault 1.9TDI engine many moons ago. In the 850, they continued the VW relationship, but used a 5 cylinder Diesel unit from Audi in keeping with the 5 cylinder petrol engines. It wasn't until 2001 and the P2 platform that Volvo developed their own Diesel engine, called the D5 (because it was a Diesel with 5 cylinders). It was largely based on the "white block" Volvo Modular Engine design, which gave the 4, 5 and 6 cylinder engines from the 1990s through the 2010s, and it was even called the Volvo Modular Diesel Engine, even though it was only ever offered as a 5 cylinder. 4 cylinder Diesel engines were offered later under Ford's ownership, but these were Ford/PSA engines the same as the Ford TDCi and Peugeot HDi units.

[@kimmern999]

I live on the Norwegian side of the Norwegian-Swedish border (Østfold/Värmland/Västra Götaland), and I believe this area probably is the place on earth where the Volvo culture is at its strongest. Especially on the Swedish side of the border of course, but also on the Norwegian side.

[@samolofsson2401]

That red volvo 240 is in realy good condition hard to find volvo 240 without rust damage. it's starting to get difficult to find old volvos cheap in sweden too people usely drive them till they breakdown and then scrap them.

[@paulocarvalho6480]

I owned a S60 Volvo some ten, fifteen years ago and it was brutal. A complete gas guzzler, but it could drive fast, as in 240 kph and over. Not even once I had a problem with it. Absolutely peak machine. Edit: Spelling.

[@ChR0nos_7734]

2:30 that generation of S60 only had inline 5 as an engine option. 11 petrol version (2 without turbo, rest with turbo) and 5 diesel options (all with turbo). They were made from 2000 to 2010 Volvo S80 and XC90 had a V8 engine which was developed by Yamaha. That same V8 was used in Noble M600, a British low volume production sport/super car. 5 cylinder Volvo engines were used in Ford's of the time when Ford owned Volvo

[@johnnybruhn9713]

17 k for a 240 😂 well i guess they have gone up in price even here in sweden, but you can still find a really good one for around 2-3k (in dolllars) here.. sidenote, the white hatchback you looked at in the video, the boot or backdoor of it is designed to be a tribute to the volvo p1800 wagon ( you looked at one when you widened your search after older volvos.

[@davidcruse6589]

Tye wagon and brick models cheap in Australia about 5 to 8 k

[@zapadoceskaenergeticka8984]

good day (I'm from the Czech Republic) I own a Mercedes S203 C30 cdi amg diesel car, the only older car that was produced for about 2 years

[@nieksalomons]

The hot hatchback Volvo is called the C30. I remember when they were first introduced to the public. The commercial was hesitant to call the back of it nice, it went something like: "we like the ass, what do you think?" Because it was of revolutionary design a very carefull worded commercial was promoted. Well, I for one, like that C30-ass!!

[@lennonskoglund8923]

In sweden you can buy a Volvo for like 500. Here in sweden its probernly imposible to sell a volvo 240 for 17000

German KZbinr jpPerformance is building a Volvo 850 with two of the big Tesla engines 😁👍🏼 It's all in German but you should check it out if you're into that sh*t

[@espekelu3460]

Hello! In Norway, there are many Volvo 240-242-244 for sale, and the prices for the nice ones are from about 14,500 dollars and below. But you can also get one for 32,000 dollars, but this one has a 2.5l with a big turbo, which gives about 500 horsepower, and the car has been built from the ground up, with new paint and engine and gearbox.
