I get not painting the Amazon. That's a great patina. The cracked dash pad hurts though. Also I will continue to advocate a move to Oregon 😊 We have lots of foggy rainy evenings!
Have spent many a winter evening in various wrecking yards over the years, grabbing parts that I needed. One night, pulled a 100 amp alternator off an '87 740. Was a rather rainy & breezy experience... Re: moving, I'd look into southern Idaho instead of Oregon. Close enough for the iPd garage sale, but property taxes aren't as expensive, houses are cheaper, etc.
Happy new year man! Is that a 940 in the barn?!! A Dean o' machine'o 940 turbo build would be frikkin sweet. Really hoping this year brings you and the good lady some good fortune. Keep on truckin good buddy 🤘
Happy New Year Dean! 🎉 To more adventures! Thanks for providing volvo entertainment. That field car cleaned up nicely. Changing head gaskets like a champ!
Happy New Year Dean, hope 2025 brings you and the Mrs. lots of good times and blessings, enjoyed the field trip to the storage area, hopefully you all will find a place in the country where you can wrench and without deed restrictions.
The Amazon is one gooooood lookiń car, painted or not,, ✨🔥🥰🔥✨ Soo nice to see you again Dean,, 👍🌟👍 Cheers and Happy New Years, to You and Wifey, from Sweden,, 🍻🎅👍
Great to see you back Dean. Don't paint the Amazon, you will ruin it's great looks. It blended in great with the surrounding woodland like camouflage 🤣 Happy new year to you both.
Hey Dean, Just wondering; are you planning on painting the Amazon? In all seriousness though, I think it looks great as-is; I would do exactly what you are doing and preserve it, but leave it as close to how it is as possible.
Happy New Year, Dean! Really sorry life has been hitting you guys in the face so hard lately. Hoping that changes real soon and you get some good luck coming your way with a new property, random weirdos not rifling through your cars, etc. It's the very least you guys deserve. PS - for that air filter - looks like it just needs a good recharge with the K&N kit. PPS - you ever gonna paint that Amazon?
Nice video on the blue volvo , by the way is the green coupe volvo for sale? and for how much? we enjoy your videos a lot thanks at this time how many volvos do you have on sale?
Think I first heard "carefulling" on AvE's channel. Seen some other references from AvE on Sarahs channel aswell. Not saying AvE was first but that might be where Sarah got it from
@@mayflowerlash11 haven't watch him for a few years now but at the time atleast he disected powertools and such to show what's inside them and how cheaply some are made and so on. "Angry pixies" and "let the magic smoke out" are some terms I have heard on his channel
headgasket in the front yard is a rite of passage for every volvo owner
As long as the car is on the trailer, it can be off the driveway!
Truer words have never been spoken.
Unfortunately a rite of passage I’ve done on a whiteblock (and will be doing again soon)
Great to see this pop up in the feed. That beater fired right up after the belt....
@@affordablevs little bit of love keeps em going!
That barn kept going and going
@@ShawnTheGreek it’s massive!!
Thank you Dean. You are a one man Volvo army! I appreciate your passion for Volvos. So little time and so many Volvos.
@@davidblood9882 thanks David! I do the best with the time i have!

If I could convince the ole lady then maybe we would move out there!

Thanks for coming back and enjoying what we do here!
Maybe I'm a bit biased but you should try an old BMW sometime. I think you'd dig it.
I might just have to!!
Nice video, just finished my turbo 2.5L stroker build this weekend. Good inspiration

@@DeanofMachines 💖💖
Keep it as it is for the painting sometimes can destroy the soul of a Car Have a Good New Year😎
I think that's a really good way to put it!
Happy New Year Dean!!
Thanks! 2025 is gonna be a good one.
Happy new year! Heck why not buy a chunk of that land and have the space for all the shenanigans 👀🫶🏽
Have to find a chunk of land! Everything over 5 acre is bought up by developers. Hard to compete with billionaires.
Happy New Year, Dean! I love the material cheers!
Happy new year! Thanks for coming back!!
Happy New Year Dean! Thanks for the content!
Thanks Mortimer!!! Happy New Year!!
Great to see you back Dean. Don't paint the Amazon, you will ruin it's great looks. It blended in great with the surrounding woodland like camouflage 🤣 Happy new year to you both.
Happy New Year to you and yours!! Thanks for sticking around!
happy new year,at least you havnt got snow like us in the uk.BLOODY HATE SNOW
I am happy I dont have snow. Ill be spending some time in Michigan this winter though!!
Other big toe: "You sure that you want to stack a brake disc and alternator on top of that upside-down battery?"
Itll be fine! Probably…
Happy new year and great video😃🎇🎆
Thanks for watching! Happy New Year!!
Thank you😃
The Amazon in Grey with a black roof would look good
I'm more of a single color guy myself.
Please ship that Amazon to me in Sweden 😍
You might have to get in line!!
@ we have so many amazon’s here in sweden, but i want one with patina like yours
@ I think you would love it! It gets more attention than any other car we own!
Hey Dean, Just wondering; are you planning on painting the Amazon?
In all seriousness though, I think it looks great as-is; I would do exactly what you are doing and preserve it, but leave it as close to how it is as possible.
Its exactly how it should be!! I would like to put floors in it at some point

Happy New Year!! We are hoping for some changes this year. We will see what happens though!
Just mask it off and clear over the patina!
Dont even need to mask it! Clear everything!
Orange 264? 😊😊😊
Just thinking since you were at ‘the spot’
Its still there!
What kind of wheels are on the Amazon I love that look
@@RobertEllis-bs6gy they are Mercury Marquis/Ford Crown Victoria wheels. Perfect look I think!
I'll drive it for you :p
Dean of Machines loaner Volvo program? Could be a thing!!
For you in us The Volvos are more exotic and cool
I have toyed with Volvos since around 2006. I always thought they were fun little cars. Now they are growing in popularity!!
Need to untuck your sack and paint it.
Maybe with the VGG clear coat?
I would clear it or shine juice. Just not with new paint
Nice video on the blue volvo , by the way is the green coupe volvo for sale? and for how much? we enjoy your videos a lot thanks
at this time how many volvos do you have on sale?
@@mauriciomccarter2305 Currently the green 242 is not for sale. I do not typically sell these cars unless its to channel members.
@
I thought I was or am Dean of Machines
Sry about that. 😊, I’ll check it out
And if I am you owe me a Volvo LOL 😂.
@@mauriciomccarter2305 I don’t keep things forever so they will come up for sale!!
@@DeanofMachines
Oh ok 😊🤙
Where on your page to become a member?
Did you use a new head gasket or a gently / previously used one?
Ever look near the xc70? Or does it need another 10 years to be interesting?
Many many years ago I worked with a lot of whiteblock volvos. I have never personally owned one however. Should we change that?
Id like to see that!!. XC70s in particular are an acquired taste I think. Bit fordy.
Enjoying the channel Dean from over here in Ireland.
@ hellooo Ireland! I do like the xc70 platform. Some day we might but for now we dont have a purpose for a newer Volvo like that!
Comment
Thanks robertooo!!
140 video whennnn???
140 is on hold for the time being!
the throbbing bass of that engine is not unwelcome in my headphones ^^ gorgeous amazon
Its got a fantastic exhaust note!
You should have a big barn to store your car in. Not thouse drafty once. And accualy live on a farm
Right now I am taking whatever I can get my hands on.
Don't ever paint the Amazon!!! Took years to look that awesome
I just want you to repair the rust on the amazon before it folds in half
Its got good rockers!
Bmw?? Yes, I,v had about 45 Bmws since 1988😅
I like to hear it! Id like a newer, driver oriented car.
@DeanofMachines e39 touring maybe.
Oh wow, Dean. You need that Series Land Rover @ ~ 9:32 to add to your collection. Buy it!
Negative ghostrider. I do not need those problems in my life.
@@DeanofMachines Fair enough. :-p
Take those reflectors off the back. They're busted anyway. See the original design, it's clea...
I hear you and I understand what you are saying
Good to see you back. When are you gonna paint the Amazon? 😜
Banned for life! Just kidding, Happy New Year Erik!!
Carefulling? Carefulling? I know what you've been doing. You've been watching Sarah-n-Tuned.
Yeah she's great.
1puglife my friend!! Not sure where she got it from.

Can you enlarge?

Did "The Walking Dead" ever reach out to you about filming your collection? 🧟♂️🧟♀️🧟♂️🧟♀️
Not yet!
Paint, don't paint it
@@tommiemcleodjr.2174 Id rather find a different one to paint
Fiberglass dash pad paint match car
Maybe thats an Idea!
Paint Amazon
No! Never! You can’t make me!!
Amazon is too good to paint. Theres a bunch of painted examples, save the unique 🫎
I think you're right! It took years for mine 122 to look THAT good!
