This Volvo 740 Turbo might have a good motor... 

Ive already gotten two different orders LOL some good stuff available!

Welcome to the party!! As you can see the Volvo content is alive and well here!!

Sad but necessary. If I could save it I would!

@@DeanofMachines oh I know man. I was the same when the smashed 940 went it was shit but nothing I could do.

@@SimpsonsClassics atleast the parts can live on!

@@DeanofMachines exactly dude it’s still saving a Volvo or multiple Volvos in our case.

They are getting rare!! I wish all Volvos could be saved!!

It's important to save these old tanks! Even if it means scrapping a few junkers for parts.

Seems ok soo far. It does keep me away from Volvos though…

Putting money in your pocket and helping keep it there too. Haha

@@rodneyss19 yeah. I seem to buy a lot of things when Im not working LOL

Ill work on my form!!

Thank you kindly!

Thank you! Still undecided on painting the 240. We shall see…

Either way, you'll have a great car. I lucked out and had my 81 242 TIC repainted in 2000 by the old original Volvo dealer here on Houston, Niels Sefeldt. They were acquired by one of the mega dealers (AutoNation or Sonic, etc.) but were great while they were family run. BTW, black cars are awfully hot here during these southern summers. Even my silver 84 242 TIC with a black interior gets very hot when left in the sun. Always looking for shade or covered parking in the summer as the R134A AC just doesn't cool the car down very quickly.

@@algarcia7893 thats cool that they painted it!! We are constantly struggling with the heat down here!

When they get to a certain point, there's no financially great way to save them. Unless of course I can crowd fund it... Consider a membership!

@@DeanofMachines Agree completely! Still sad to think about that car's glory days in the late 80s/early 90s compared to being yanked off of a trailer in a scrap yard.

@@adamv242 Without a doubt it was a great car in it's day

I believe it! It's unfortunate that shipping costs sooo much

@@DeanofMachines was it in good condition? I guess every 740 has leather over there😄so hard to sell?

@@pellepp9628 No it was super dry and as cracking unfortunately.

Keeping it safe!

I saved the door panels. All the plastic pieces are super brittle

The funny thing is, I got MORE BUSY once I was unemployed!! Good to have the steady income for projects again.

Congratulations!! Being able to pay your tax man is the best way to support your local Mafia!

I love the idea of a 780. I don’t know if I would want one though. Parts are a pain to source

Thank you bob!!!

Whats funny about your comment… on the way back from the scrap yard i went to HF and bought a truck bed crane for $120 and two vehicle dollies(they hold the weight better). I mounted the crane to the front corner of the trailer and its the perfect height to pick the motor/trans and swing it off the trailer and set it on the ground. I also have dirty thoughts of a lift mounted on a trailer…

@@DeanofMachines Careful about the dirty thoughts...this is a good, upstanding, Swedish Family channel!! Right??

You are absolutely right! I wouldn’t want any misunderstandings

Thanks for the visit

Just what I needed! More parts lol.

Thank you! It wasn’t the plan but hopefully worth the effort

No paperwork, interior is torn apart, motor is questionable. These sedans really have no value here unfortunately.

A necessary evil I would say.

Only about $150 unfortunately.

Its possible with some metal fab work. Thankfully its missing a lot of metal!

@@DeanofMachines I presume it would bump up the bhp a tad???

Most of it was metal! There was good sheet metal. I saved the doors and fenders!

If I climb under it, it gets jackstands, I can promise you that!!

@DeanofMachines I was more concerned with the strap or trailer breaking and something flying up and taking off your head! I just assumed you're smart enough to not get under it! :)

@@rodneyss19 i did break a ratchet strap doing this LOL. The mechanism, not the strap

Ejecto seato cuzz!!! Lol

And seems to be stuck pointing at things!

Its probably just dehydrated.
