When I see these sad videos I always think back at how it must have looked when it left the factory, when the first owner bought it and so on. I don't know, there is something with old cars. They get a soul in some way.
"They get a soul in some way." Inasmuch as they were styled, designed, manufactured and assembled by humans. Even where automation was used e.g. assembly, that automation was a human creation so, like a piece of art, music etc. I see cars as an expression of human creativity, so it's a shame when the nicer ones are scrapped.
Look at the looks of that poor Volvo "please... leave me be, allow me to die". And what a dreadful end for a car, not even the worst car in the world deserves such a painful ending. I know it's not human and it's only a machine, a rusty bucket of bolts but... still.... I feel sad for it. At least, now "she's" in car heaven.
I'm a fan of volvo, born in, grew up in and grow old in, I heard laughter was next to the VW Golf but it will never make as much as a Volvo, she showed what a real car is can she rest in peace
These were the days Volvo's still had real Volvo engines and not these French PSA and what have you engines. Love the video, far more entertaining than national tv, politics and soaps. Well done ! This Volvo will never die it,s on TH-cam for ever......
Silly me....but still these old VW diesels Volvo used to put in there cars were far better than these nasty French junk PSA engines they started to put in the newer models.
All the damn long time this machine always runs for you, and runs and runs...and then...you killed it....poor car. It showed you that it will run whatever happens...you killed him.
why not rebuild it? volvos strong all the way on engine and chassis such a waste to destroy this car everything can be fixed as long you willing to do it
For those who are feeling depressed over the Volvo It was already broken beyond repair before this video, as the description says, so in other words death might as well had been a mercy for it
The first video that TOS put up was the reason I started looking for a d24 powered Volvo... Just couldn't believe the sound, and the hood stack... Up till that point I had never even heard of a Volvo diesel! Sad to see it finally go....
I think it has something to do with the designer of the car, but I'm not sure about that. The 780 is also called "Bertone Coupé", and wasn't designed by Volvo themselves. And the mysterious 360, 460 and 480, which all were designed by Renault, didn't have anything but a straight 4-cyl engine. But you got a point there.
Dude, I gotta say, amazing video editing. And this poor car has seen better days, God bless you for taking it in. It needed a nice place to rest in it's final years. The last thing I want to see is a car go. :(
little question, on one of yours photos at your webside i see a picture of your car jacked up on tree stumps what is that red looking plate ? it's picture 32
Great video. I think its great what you guys did, considering that thing was on its way to the crusher when you bought it. You kept driving it another 5 years.
Hur cabade ni den utan att den vek sig? Då C-stolpen är bärande tillsammans med A.. Förstärka tröskelbalken eller nåt? Förövrigt bra film, snyggt redigerat med bra bil, imponerande vad en b23 motor klarar av..
• hello, I am that man who "rebuilt" your volvo today i had some issues,more specifically overheating problems! We drove it on a field and the car spilled all his water out. i also cant get my turbo pressure up to 0.5bar I hope you,as a specialist, can help me with this problem. Thank you anyway! :)
back in time i owned 2 volvo like this ...awesome cars.....but not for criminals.....one of the car which was made for lifetime ...like mercedes w124....you should better destroy the red vw in back....electronicalysheet
I cried to this
Piston why
Me too..

theres not used much creativity with designing volvo, only ruler and strait edge lol :D
Björn Lillpers true
@@late9462 thats also style
Why is it funny to them?.. It made my heart break..
Rest in peace old beauty...
Literally broke my heart

+goblinvert Don't, this is the turbobrick way to valhalla.
Valhalla is car heavean? Then what is car hell?
There's no such thing. All cars go to Valhalla. Those who go to hell are lazy designers and shoddy engineers.
goblinvert well that is true, in my eyes, all cars are innocent, they're only tools.
All that damage will buff right out! lol
An amazing testament to the endurance of a volvo. Thank you for sharing!
I'm a fan of volvo, born in, grew up in and grow old in, I heard laughter was next to the VW Golf but it will never make as much as a Volvo, she showed what a real car is can she rest in peace
Plot twist: 5 years later they fire the engine up again.
wow i can never work out the waste of good engines when you guys do this, put it to better use, a generator to warm your frozen arse of something
I lost 2 hours of sleep crying to this the other night.
All fun aside, this video is actually very well made and edited
+asdda :) thank you!
true
With a truly beautiful piece of music. Inspirational.
Why not try to see what resists your Volkswagen?
He really had the will of life.. Poor 7xx..:(
No cars life should end like this...Old cars r almost like they r human...
that car would've still ran after an apocalypse. what a shameful video
volvo - build like a tank, drove like a tank
what happened to it before they completely destroyed it? it looks like it got in an accident
These were the days Volvo's still had real Volvo engines and not these French PSA and what have you engines.
Love the video, far more entertaining than national tv, politics and soaps. Well done !
This Volvo will never die it,s on TH-cam for ever......
It was vw D24 engine... But thanks :)
Silly me....but still these old VW diesels Volvo used to put in there cars were far better than these nasty French junk PSA engines they started to put in the newer models.
What a legendary car....#NeverForget #RIP #ThereWillNeverBeAnother
R.I.P Volvo.
i just saved a mint 1992 940 turbo from the crusher
nice
craftsman mud mower I love you
I saw how good that car ran in the other video, I mean they could have sold it really cheap to someone who would actually need it and appreciate it.
All the damn long time this machine always runs for you, and runs and runs...and then...you killed it....poor car. It showed you that it will run whatever happens...you killed him.
It's truly sad.. i miss my volvo at home..
my 95 940 volvo has 283,??? and it runs like a champ and i bought it two years ago for $100. its my baby i love it
You guys never gave up the 2.4 Diesel,it's a bulletproof engine!
My Volvo 740 have 3,000,000 Kilometers and THE MONSTER works hard!
very sad, a legendary car and epic movies.... rest in peace
rip volvo
Great video,VOLVO never die👍👍👍
somewhere a german engineer is crying because of that engine.
why not rebuild it?
volvos strong all the way on engine and chassis
such a waste to destroy this car
everything can be fixed as long you willing to do it
if you we're from finland you'd know
+willyford R.I.P
the music just makes it that much more sad :,(
Such a resilient little motor
Я аж прослезился. Браво, видео класное. Машинку жалко:)
740 когдато была, я малым еще был, до слез жалко как свою(
Great stuff. Really, great stuff. Volvo, Rest in Peace!
For those who are feeling depressed over the Volvo
It was already broken beyond repair before this video, as the description says, so in other words death might as well had been a mercy for it
Thanks
I don't care if it was damaged beyond repair! That's a fucking waste of a car!
Volvos are the best! My 99 V70 has 252,000 on her and she still runs strong!
Still have this 740 in 2013
Amazing. Really hitting the emotions.
damn man that is a car...
How much like that car has been driven... Like 800,000 kms
So sad
Gotta say that was one tough engine.
The crazy thing about this is, the turbo is missing and she still ran!
NO any other car brand could drive like that exept Volvo, :D
you have no feelings for this great car
amazing GOD BLESS VOLVO
Maybe im mistaken, but i didnt see a throttle body attached to the intake manifold...
Лучший автомобиль...
Just goes to show that it takes a lot of work to destroy a Volvo.
The first video that TOS put up was the reason I started looking for a d24 powered Volvo... Just couldn't believe the sound, and the hood stack... Up till that point I had never even heard of a Volvo diesel! Sad to see it finally go....
Engine was running so good...

why did u put it against the Golf convertible ? This Swedish car deserves a better reputation than the Golf or even the Gti
+PC Yu No you don't get it, the golf is a girl, they let him have some good time before going to car heaven :)
8:58 what a beautiful wallpaper
But how did the engine still turn? Usually the engine locks up
Volvo never is dead .
helvetin hienosti tehty video, mutta erittäin surullinen..
I have never understood the point of car abuse and probably never won't.
Dude, I gotta say, amazing video editing. And this poor car has seen better days, God bless you for taking it in. It needed a nice place to rest in it's final years. The last thing I want to see is a car go. :(
What a beautiful little movie you made here! Wow, bravo!
@studiotos he i dhon't whant to be unpolite, but do you also have any pictures of how you placed the turbo
i always whont to see some .
Powerful Volvo despite being badly treated by this crazy man. If the Volvo was a VW hit it would have been badly damaged.
#Volvoforlife.
little question, on one of yours photos at your webside i see a picture
of your car jacked up on tree stumps
what is that red looking plate ?
it's picture 32
Great video. I think its great what you guys did, considering that thing was on its way to the crusher when you bought it. You kept driving it another 5 years.
Hur cabade ni den utan att den vek sig? Då C-stolpen är bärande tillsammans med A.. Förstärka tröskelbalken eller nåt? Förövrigt bra film, snyggt redigerat med bra bil, imponerande vad en b23 motor klarar av..
how did you kill it? did you set it to max throttle there at the end??? R.I.P
We're here for the dearly departed
Luckily, this wasnt a vlvo engine. but poor car. I hope it lives on as spare parts...
@740diesel rebuilt your volvo ????
Did it start the next year ?, What happend with the engine when you blow it?
Tuomo ,you take best videos.!.!You are the best
• hello, I am that man who "rebuilt" your volvo
today i had some issues,more specifically overheating problems!
We drove it on a field and the car spilled all his water out.
i also cant get my turbo pressure up to 0.5bar
I hope you,as a specialist, can help me with this problem.
Thank you anyway! :)
After the surprising number of videos like this I have seen I believe it.
@studiotos isn't that an other turbo than in your movie ?
laadukas video...ilo katsella...kiitos
согласен, дорестайловых 740 мало осталось, эта машина не заслуживает такого похуистического отношения.
ah okey :/ turbodiesel or non turbo? what year was it made?
In general ppl say this, but what about the 780 for instence?
It has no real meaning but the 740 had a straight six cyl diesel engine
back in time i owned 2 volvo like this ...awesome cars.....but not for criminals.....one of the car which was made for lifetime ...like mercedes w124....you should better destroy the red vw in back....electronicalysheet
I fell in love with that Volvo, and how sad when you killed it :(
@studiotos you have to weld the doors right?
A volvo 740 never dies its only take some holyday! :D Volvo 740 swedish quality!
poor poor volvo
made me cry
Awesome video. Rip volvo
one of the best movies on youtube
do you guys have already an other field car ?
(volvo for life)
How'd you get the clock to run backwards like that?
Was the cylinderhead broke before you killed it ?
havent seen a video bringin me closer to tears...
although this is d24 cruelty it shows how reliable they are
The engine was already too much broken before the video. See older videos ;)
I didn't see any damage!
Will you sell the engine? The one in my 740 is like new.
what motor was it?
@studiotos i'm a bit confused whe also have an olde 740
and no rust at all and that in the rainy wether of our little belgium
do tyou guys dousn't have any pictures of when the volvo was sort of "new"
Very professional video !!!! Very interesting too! You should call it: Volvo s list instead of Chindlers list ! 5 Stars !
I actually think this is really sad.
