Volvo, Rest In Peace! Music: Albinoni - Adagio in G Minor. Life ends to metal recycling • Volvo740 - Memories -The engine was already too much broken before destroy....
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.
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
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.
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
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
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. :(
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
@studiotos have another problem with mine volvo stupid key "bullets" from the lock are fallen apart have to start with "stupid"cables from starter and glow relais to battery ;D
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..
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.
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.
was the rear end still good? lol I need one for my 240DL. But it's going to the local junk yard where they take the good stuff off it and sell it and recycle the rest. Rear end is gone on it and so is the exhaust. it needs WELL over $800 of work. 1990 Volvo 240DL with 225K miles will soon RIP.
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 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..

+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
Rest in peace old beauty...
An amazing testament to the endurance of a volvo. Thank you for sharing!
Literally broke my heart
Plot twist: 5 years later they fire the engine up again.
Why not try to see what resists your Volkswagen?
I lost 2 hours of sleep crying to this the other night.
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
All fun aside, this video is actually very well made and edited
+asdda :) thank you!
true
With a truly beautiful piece of music. Inspirational.
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
what happened to it before they completely destroyed it? it looks like it got in an accident
He really had the will of life.. Poor 7xx..:(
volvo - build like a tank, drove like a tank
No cars life should end like this...Old cars r almost like they r human...
R.I.P Volvo.
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.
that car would've still ran after an apocalypse. what a shameful video
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.
i just saved a mint 1992 940 turbo from the crusher
nice
craftsman mud mower I love you
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
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.
You guys never gave up the 2.4 Diesel,it's a bulletproof engine!
What a legendary car....#NeverForget #RIP #ThereWillNeverBeAnother
My Volvo 740 have 3,000,000 Kilometers and THE MONSTER works hard!
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
How much like that car has been driven... Like 800,000 kms
It's truly sad.. i miss my volvo at home..
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 :)
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
Maybe im mistaken, but i didnt see a throttle body attached to the intake manifold...
how did you kill it? did you set it to max throttle there at the end??? R.I.P
very sad, a legendary car and epic movies.... rest in peace
But how did the engine still turn? Usually the engine locks up
8:58 what a beautiful wallpaper
damn man that is a car...
@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 .
Volvos are the best! My 99 V70 has 252,000 on her and she still runs strong!
@studiotos a journey to the scrapyard ;D
this is the first I see the boot opened haha :D
have you got all the "good" parts out of it.
@studiotos well in your last movie'with the roof off it ist was like the hile body collapsed
was that from the rust?
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!
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. :(
somewhere a german engineer is crying because of that engine.
rip volvo
the music just makes it that much more sad :,(
@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
@studiotos isn't that an other turbo than in your movie ?
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
Such a resilient little motor
@studiotos you have to weld the doors right?
The crazy thing about this is, the turbo is missing and she still ran!
So sad
Still have this 740 in 2013
@studiotos have another problem with mine volvo
stupid key "bullets" from the lock are fallen apart
have to start with "stupid"cables from starter and glow relais to battery ;D
NO any other car brand could drive like that exept Volvo, :D
Did it start the next year ?, What happend with the engine when you blow it?
How'd you get the clock to run backwards like that?
ah okey :/ turbodiesel or non turbo? what year was it made?
Great video,VOLVO never die👍👍👍
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..
Я аж прослезился. Браво, видео класное. Машинку жалко:)
740 когдато была, я малым еще был, до слез жалко как свою(
Was the cylinderhead broke before you killed it ?
Volvo never is dead .
when you try to start it after the blow,you can se whater coming out of the exhaust pipe! Is thats why it stopped, water came in to the cylinders!?
@740diesel rebuilt your volvo ????
you have no feelings for this great car
Engine was running so good...
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.
pleace make one more video and film the car and engine as it is now. and a cranking clip.
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.
do you guys have already an other field car ?
(volvo for life)
Luckily, this wasnt a vlvo engine. but poor car. I hope it lives on as spare parts...
Will you sell the engine? The one in my 740 is like new.
Great stuff. Really, great stuff. Volvo, Rest in Peace!
Gotta say that was one tough engine.
Just goes to show that it takes a lot of work to destroy a Volvo.
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
It's sick! Do you know, how much it still costs in Russia?!
Why would you ruin a perfectly fine engine like that???
It was too much broken... Head was cracked and many more...
@@tospictures you are a liar! I didn't see any damage and it ran just fine, until you blew the engine up!!!
the damage was in engine head, it was cracked and leaks oil and coolant
It was originally without turbo. I dont know correct model year, something early 80s..
do tyou guys dousn't have any pictures of when the volvo was sort of "new"
Лучший автомобиль...
What a beautiful little movie you made here! Wow, bravo!
We're here for the dearly departed
Why did you coldblooded kill that volvo?
Can't be fixed really
was the rear end still good? lol I need one for my 240DL. But it's going to the local junk yard where they take the good stuff off it and sell it and recycle the rest. Rear end is gone on it and so is the exhaust. it needs WELL over $800 of work. 1990 Volvo 240DL with 225K miles will soon RIP.
such a shame :/ it looks like it could have been fixed, was it alot of rust under 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 have never understood the point of car abuse and probably never won't.
excuse me, where are the winters free of snow? here in estonia we've had the worst 3 winters with clearly too much snow and tempreatures around -20C.
Powerful Volvo despite being badly treated by this crazy man. If the Volvo was a VW hit it would have been badly damaged.
#Volvoforlife.
wut happened to studio tos?
@studiotos what are you thinking of a volvo 740 with a nice big turbo haha ;D
amazing GOD BLESS VOLVO
helvetin hienosti tehty video, mutta erittäin surullinen..
Onko se väärin jos itkin koko videon ajan?
how much kilometers has or sud i say had it
согласен, дорестайловых 740 мало осталось, эта машина не заслуживает такого похуистического отношения.
