#Volvo #Volvo244
I scored a volvo 244 for 500 bucks that was in a no start condition. All it needed was a new ignition control unit but because of the "1984 specific" parts, the new unit was going to probably run me another 300 dollars just for that one specific part. After looking around online, I found some old guy on craigslist who had hundreds of volvo 240 parts laying around for sale. I called him up and he told me he had the part and sold it to me for only 30 dollars. 10/10 good car.
Great review! I have 15 old Volvo's, including every model that Volvo released in the US from the PV544 to the 940. I've always had the same problem putting my finger on exactly what it is that makes me love them so much, but they're addictive and intoxicating. I have other old cars too but way more Volvo's than anything. Also, major props to the person who chose to repair that car after the wreck. Most people wouldn't, but more people should. It's not that hard, and they don't make these anymore.
Sell me a 242 or a 244
Damn, love this car. Shoutout to Diego for fixing it and sticking with it after that nasty front end collision. As much as I love my 240 wagon, I don’t know if I would’ve even tried to fix it had it happened to me. Props to him.
These volvo reviews are really awesome. And i like to see young men driving old cars. You understand why us old farts love these cars , good on you !
this 244 looks damn amazing. uncommon color combo. this is classy!!! needs a nice K cam or A cam in there
I love it a lot, the owner did a great job talking care of this lovely car.
Regarding the OD button on the shifter, it is ironic that the light comes on when the MANUAL transmission goes into OD (5th gear) and that the light in the AUTOMATIC transmission models goes on when the 4-speed (4th is OD) is disabled. This feature in the AUTOMATIC models is common in more modern cars. Still, you should be familiar with either system before you drive them. I have the AUTOMATIC AW70 transmission in my 1986 Volvo DL and I only use OD when I drive on the interstate - otherwise, it feels anemic when lugging the engine on secondary roads.
Glad to know you love the volvo's. I have a 1985 244 Volvo DL. Love my car and would never, NEVER let Violet go!!! lol
You forgot to mention, when you pulled out the foam arm rest in the back of the volvo seats? If you go into the trunk, there's a flap that you pull up and there, there's a hole you can put your ski's through the car into the back seat. I used mine for 2x4's when i needed to go to Home Depot, lol Really nice to have.
He felt the old Volvo feel
My first car was an 84 Volvo, same color! The thing was indestructible.
its like iron man from sweden
4:13 Eagles Greatest Hits Volume 2 on Cassette Tape! 😭🤣
these cars have a well kept secret, they are fun to drive, they are very easy to diagnostic and to work on and...they are indestructibles, I can't say that from the FWD Volvos : I simply hate them.
6 months from now he's going to buy one.
It’s been 6 months
Can confirm I just bought my 5th last week
I had the 240 from 1984 in dark blue, with Crome, loved that car.
SWEET RIG MAN I got a 93 myself LOVE IT agree with everything you said!!!
Nice review! Just stumbled on this. You gotta check out my 1973 164e when I'm done restoring it. It has a 4-speed with electric overdrive as well. But the overdrive control is a lever on the right side of the steering column, just below the wiper stalk. Same rear seat center arm rest, just not as squishy.
I just found this exact car on Facebook marketplace
Hey I wonder where he got those replacement lights and grille from }:^)
Beautiful 240. Hoping to get one.
This thing is so, so clean!
I have never used the clutch when pressing the overdrive.
BTW. you are burning the clutch, let it set before you floor the gas.
Whats your spaces/adapter setup for those rims? And what are those rims?
Worlds safest vehicle man
Thanks for a well crafted video! I'm heading out tomorrow to possibly buy one of these, not in this condition though, lol.
Just got my 244 for 1400 love it already
I love these!
I love Volvo cars
You don't need to press in the clutch when engaging overdrive.
just release the throttle a bit when upshitfing and depressing a bit the throttle when downshifting to insure a smooth, imperceptible transition between the direct drive mode and the overdrive mode.
I agree!
I love the video
240 for life!
lmao it made 111 hp..., 25 years ago. it makes ab 70-85 stock rn
I fucking love the front design of this volvo
If someone slipped in the tack I bet the put a different odometer
Yes, one with about 2 or 300,000 fewer miles on it! 🤔That driver's seat gives away it's true mileage!
My grandfather had one just like it.
Awesome 240 With manual transmission
Very nice car❤
What are those rims?
fly to florida and you can drive my manual swapped 940 Turbo. got a bunch of mods and itll be refreshing to see how the last of these rwd volvos stack up against these grandpa series 240s ;-) .. also mines is in an unobtainable color from factory and has no record of it being made besides the vin# lol.
Does Diego have a 265 bertone and maybe used to live in Chicago? If so I bought his grey 240 sedan
Are those stock fender flares? If not what brand are they?
Do you still got this car
Same as my car, just 3 years newer! That transmission is kinda junk ngl but the rest of the car is amazing!
Everything you need...nothing you don't.
Fox river you in Elgin I just got a 89 244
You can do mine
That driver's seat sure doesn't look like a seat that you would find in a Volvo 240 with only 83k miles on it.🤔240's are notorious for malfunctioning odometers.
This Volvo drives so good, soooo good. (Insert trump hands here)😂 great video review though
nice playboy in the back......
正
I'd say it needs shorter gear ratios and some suspension tuning and its gonna be hella fun to drive
Heyyyy he removed the clock man so rude jk jk much love tot he owner sick volvo
I have one
Man in sweden is 83000 miles nothing. in sweden they go 300000miles ore more
Nothing drives like and handles 240.. Nothing
I fucking love Volvo 244 mine is white
