[@michaeltutty1540]

Volvo used a very grade of paint and clear coat. My 1990 shines up like new and it lives outdoors 24/7 and is now in its 34th winter.

[@RajSharma-uv4nx]

My dad bought a 1989 Volvo 240DL back in 1990 and when I washed it, it always looked great even into the late 90’s. Our 1995 850GLE and 2005 XC70 also looked great. Currently I owe a 2013 S60 T6 R-Design in rare Rebel Blue paint. It has just 55K Km and looks incredible after a decade!

[@Djuztin]

little bit of rust on the front fenders but indeed, amazing condition!

[@davidyoung9561]

@@RajSharma-uv4nx I have a 1984 340DL and when I got it 8 years ago, the paint was heavily oxidized. A few hours with some T-cut and the paint is like new. The paint has the odd blemish due to bird droppings being allowed to be left on the paint work in the past.

And to think it was scheduled for the crusher. This vehicle has so many years of life left in it. Well done guys, keep saving cars from the crusher.

That car is pristine, like no rust, dents, scratches, interior is flawless. That car used to be someone’s pride and joy and was well maintained before it was abandoned. Like no way a car that age stays in such good shape that it can clean up that well!

[@patrickd9551]

Volvo is the only brand in the world that has had multiple owners/cars turn the clock to zero. A million km (or miles). Yes, maintenance is key, but the way it was built adds to the possibility of it happening in the first place. I don't do very much maintenance on my Volvo, but I managed to get it to over 400k already. The chassis is very very sturdy. I do hope to find a 740 or 440 one day (for a reasonable price) for myself.

[@nordvestgaming1238]

@@patrickd9551 That simply isn't true, a decent amount of brands have had multiple cars reach 1 million miles, Mercedes, Ford, Toyota, and Chevy all have at least two known and 100% confirmed cars with 1 million miles or more, and likely many more that aren't publicly known, sure it might be more common for Volvos to make it that far but they certainly arent the only cars in the world that do

[@patrickd9551]

@@nordvestgaming1238 When I mean multiple, I just don't mean two or more. I mean many multiple, dozens, hundreds. There is probably some soviet car out there that managed to reach 1 million km, that doesn't make soviet cars reliable at all. Because if you read back, I make a reference on increasing the odds of doing so thanks to it's construction. If you built your car properly, it's easier to maintain and drive up such distances. Yes there are Fords and Chevvies out there, but it requires a great more investment and dedication from their owners to keep up as their construction if just weaker. Go to Cuba for that matter if you want resolve. But there is only one brand that has done so consistently with many models over the years, which is Volvo. That was my entire point, so sorry for not using more english words to point out the obvious.

[@nordvestgaming1238]

@@patrickd9551 There are only 10 100% confirmed and publicly known million mile plus Volvos in the world that I can find, and yes Im sure there are many many more that just arent widely known, but the same exact thing can be said about classic Mercedes which are also known for their tank like build quality and bullet proof reliability, hence why they are very common to find being used as taxis and the like in many Middle Eastern, African and Eastern European countries even to this day. I also already agreed that yes Volvos arguably are more likely to reach that number than any other brand so I'm not discrediting Volvo in any way, they are extremely well built and reliable cars, especially the old ones, I mean shoot I have seen many videos of Volvos that were abandoned for years starting right up with just some fresh gas and a new battery, insanely impressive stuff, but what you claimed was just verifiably wrong And no its not obvious that you meant dozens or hundreds of cars by just saying multiple, it is very reasonable to assume by multiple you meant more than one since that is the literal definition of multiple. People can't read minds, if you mean dozens or hundreds then just say dozens or hundreds instead of just saying multiple.

[@oscarwildeghost]

I had a 1992 740. Absolute horror story. Left rear shock fell of on the way home from the dealer. Gouged a trail all the way home. Fuel pumps failing on the highway. Wiring harness went. Shifter detention pin broke , had to drive to dealer with thumb jammed down in it. Leaked like a sieve. Windshield cracked from body stress three times. steering column had issues. Drivers seat had to be replaced. Windshield wiper arm flew off in a snowstorm. Just wouldn't start several times, had to leave my family at a bowling alley and walk home in a snowstorm to get a reliable car. That's was all in six months. Dealer was a v complete shit show. Took a big loss and traded it in for an 1992 Acura Integra GS, one of the most reliable cars I've ever owned. Never again would I touch a Volvo.

[@mithrilsk]

a 740 was my first car some 20+ years ago. Since then I added an 850, 940 and a S60. Never sold one, though I also never got around to get a wagon. They are insanely well built and nice to work on. The redblock engines are legends in their own right. I am totally with Mike on this one and quite frankly surprised no other team member shared his level of appreciation for this amazing car. I hope he still drives it!

16 valve is rare indeed, but not as much as the turbo 16 valve....which Is almost impossible to find (at least in my country)....to think that we had a 740 turbo 16 valve and gave it away for nothing (now you can have one for 20k euros, I have no idea in the US) makes me a bit upset

I saw an Ohio plate on the Volvo and you referenced The MetroParks when you released the mouse in another video, so I looked up your business and was pleasantly surprised to see your business is located just 5 minutes from the house I lived in Parma Heights before I moved to North Carolina.

Nice find, looks superb in the end. Very nice 16 vales engine, leather, a/c, all the regular high end stuff, and it even have the OEM radio! Just note they the engine requires a bit of attention, the 16v flavor of the redblock engine is more fragile than older designs, especially on the timing belt, water pump, pulleys (one is made of plastic and break, running the vales...). The rest is rock solid.

[@DeepOceanCop]

To answer the question you guys asked, I have a few cars that I would literally do anything for. One of them would have to be the very first suv I bought off craigslist. I had my friends drive me over two hours out to the middle of nowhere in Massachusetts to meet with this guy who is selling it for his daughter. It had over 200k miles but was only a two owner suv, and to top it all off most of its life had been spent in California and most of the miles were highway (when the daughter would drive from school in Cali to Mass to be with her family). It was a 2001 Mitsubishi Montero sport in gold/tan/beige... I had sticker-bombed the "spoiler" it came with aaand I also had a skeleton passenger named Geoff... He would be very useful during the crazy Mass snow storms. Whenever I would use Geoff as a spot saver NO ONE would steal my spot. That Mitsubishi has so so so so so many good memories associated with it... But it was unfortunately totaled out by insurance after a hit and run, my car was parked and a brand new hybrid Lexus sedan backed up into and along my passenger side... Causing only cosmetic damage. Insurance paid me $1,700 after I was able to prove it was their client using my dashcam... And when I couldn't legally drive her (I named the Mitsubishi after an event... She was named Misty) due to the title being flagged I donated it to kars 4 kids. About seven months later I was at a junkyard with some friends of mine looking for parts for their car when I asked one of the workers there if they might have seen a car come in with a skeleton sitting in the passenger seat. The workers eyes instantly lit up enjoy as he remembered the car and he explained that yes he remembered it and they all loved it, they used it as a yard car for about three months before the engine finally exploded and they gave it an honorable discharge by crushing it. I would literally give my left lung for that car again. I would also consider a smart car, or even a mini countryman...

So you asked what kind of car I would want and that's an easy one, a 1968 Chevy Nova, it was my first car ever I bought it on my own and cherished it until i joined the Army and when I came back after 9 months of initial training my dad sold my car out from under me, I have never been so mad in my entire life, but it is what it is, Promised myself that one day I would get another one but with time and life happening it never happened but Again I love watching your videos as it takes me back to a simpler time, Thank You

[@Hoooooooar]

This has got to be a plant car. Those seats are never in that good of condition

[@pinkii_babii]

loved this video, growing up a volvo lover thanks to my amazing father has shown me the true appreciation for these beautys. when i tell you everyone in my family has one i mean it, my dad has quite a few, mum, brother, me. nothing better than rolling upto the shows as a family unit each in our respective cars 😂😂. thank you for saving this beauty and giving it another deserved go at life

[@jayrocc9221]

This is a cool video. getting to clean up and fix the car that you want and get it free is a dream come true

[@hassanodeh6810]

❤❤❤❤A very very wonderful and professional work in the car, and I was very happy to give the car to Mike as if I took it, all thanks for the moments of happiness in the movie and at the end... 💐 💐 💐 💐

[@MrJasonshores364]

We had one of these when I was in highschool and I loved it. It was really nice and drove like a dream. Got my license in that car.

[@WillShowmaker]

Loved the video! I’m not a Volvo fan but you guys do great work! Thanks.

[@debbiehall9396]

My dream car is a subaru outback. I love the way the outback looks, handles & they hold their bluebook value. I was fortunate 2 B able 2 drive my brothers for a couple yrs, B4 he traded for a new Ford decked out truck!! Sure do miss it!! The Volvo is so retro cool! Luv it! Great job guys!! Watching from Alaska!!

[@SimpsonsClassics]

What an amazing transformation! Nice work guys!

[@mikebennett146]

Definitely one of the most satisfying vid's you guys have done. Just love these older boxy Volvo wagons. This one turned out great. Underneath all that dust & dirt was a gem

[@JuanJimenez.]

Old Volvos are probably one of the most underrated cars you can buy. I recently bought a 1994 940 for 1500. Had 261k miles but ran tip top. Interior is also in great condition. Its crazy to see how undervalued these cars really are. Never mind the fact that theyre both boring and slow, thats what makes them charming. Too bad its not the wagon variant, but even then, its a good example of the good ole Swedish tank

[@davidgrandel159]

Oh yeh. I love give aways, allways making me emotional... Old cars.... You guys are the best. I would be the happiest camper in the world with an alfa romeo gtv 1976.

[@lynskyrd]

100,000 miles on a Volvo is NOTHING. It's still a baby. What a GREAT find! Happy for Mike- awesome gesture guys. Myself- I'd want a 1998 Volvo S70 manual transmission. Volvos set the safety standard back in the 240 days, even before- still the Gold Standard today in my opinion. The S70 is 'new enough' but a real 'last century' gem. Again-- great job guys. Enjoy the 740 Mike but value those friends you have; they gave you more than a car.

[@michellepittsley4256]

Gorgeous car. I remember in 1994 I had a rich friend whose parents gifted her the most gorgeous Volvo. we drove around in it all summer. I always wanted one. Currently rocking my Honda CRV and love it, BUT....this car!!!!!

[@cptnjoao]

My first car was a 93 740 turbo sedan. This brought back some memories!

[@selaelomakgato1066]

I am in South Africa and I love watching your recordings. If I can be presented with an old FORD GT, I will be so excited. I love vintage cars with comfort, power and speed

[@matthewesposito5177]

I really like how you guys save this Volvo. I grew up with a 740! I will always have a place in my heart for this Volvo.

[@rotteneffekt4416]

I learned to drive in a 740 wagon. Great job guys.

[@suprhomre]

My father used to own one of these but a sedan version. We have so much memories from that car. In Sweden Volvo is as Swedish as ABBA and IKEA. We are very proud of this brand and really appreciated when other people from different nation do so too.

[@f0x313]

I just bought my 740gl this month and I can't wait to get it driving

[@hankplays4563]

Mike i know how you feel my wife and i have a 04 volvo xc90 its such a reliable nice car... Thank you for saving that beautiful car from the crusher!!!!

[@micrafan]

Very happy for Mike He and me have much in common regarding car tastes. I love the old, indestructible cars ❤❤❤

[@maureenmendo9807]

I love watching your videos. I can tell that you guys really love your job.😊

[@pearlesme8561]

Such a great find! Always loved the Volvo wagons!!!!

[@CarlosPerdomo]

Such a nice gesture.

[@judahfreeman8896]

This beauty was scheduled to get crushed 😢. So glad you guys saved it!! I have a Volvo 240 sedan and I am an advent Volvo lover so seeing you guys take such good care fixing it up blessed my heart 🙏.

[@Skarpur]

I have one just like this, white 1992 745 GL. Had it since 2007. It's a fantastic car.

[@charlesdavis545]

I'm with Mike; always loved #volvos. That was a nice gesture.

[@erikberg8098]

Who in the world parks & junks a 1990 Volvo wagon in that shape? Our family car growing up was a 240DL wagon, an absolute tank! The 1980s & 1990s were Volvo’s golden age. This was so satisfying to watch!

[@kevinjones5560]

I’ve had 7 Volvos since 1985. Two have hit 200,000 miles. 2 DL sedans, a DL wagon, a 940 sedan, 2 S60 sedans, and my current new XC90 is the best Volvo I’ve owned.

[@pablorios2562]

VOLVO IS VOLVO MIKE DISERVES IT HE WORKS HARD CLEANING THEM AND HE KNOWS PRETTY MUCH ABOUT CARS. LET THE MAN ENJOY IT.

[@sngozit]

This car was restored beautifully! It reminds me of the BMW 3 series wagon I said I would treat myself to after becoming a nurse. 😊 Sweet work guys! 😊

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

A 1969 cougar. I've always wanted one of those car's.❤

[@erniescarano1522]

Spectacular video.....one of your best!

[@gordonsmith146]

Great video! Congratulations Mike! That car is awesome! Awesome job guys!

[@TBunlimited]

Finding a car in this state is like finding mozes his sandels! Congrats with the car!

[@АндрейНикитенко-ф4с]

I had exactly the same car, here in Russia. The color and upholstery are all the same. She came to me not new, but it was a great car, everything is of high quality, very intelligently designed, very durable, probably she could still drive today. I regretted that I changed it then to a new Japanese car. An excellent gift worthy of friendship.

[@Slomotion-oc2us]

I don't think you have done one but a 1967 cougar! My dad had one when I was a little kid and I just fell in love with it! Just brings back memories of my dad!

[@andrewanderson840]

I would love a Saab to find and receive, they had so much character and charm

[@musicroom5238]

Wonderful videos, as well as all the wonderful purpose behind them.

[@alexavramescu]

Volvo for life, I'm amazed how good that car looks...

[@bigesnips]

My first car was a 740. This is awesome.

[@francisdebriey3609]

Beautiful restoration ...I LOVE these old volvo

[@milansky77]

What a great looking car. Love the 90s vehicles

[@Aligee88]

I think that many people do not understand how much character that old Volvo has. Many safe miles for the new owner!
