You got the car for fifty dollars, for a couple of dollars you have a car that is strong, reliable, strong, built to last.
That is why the biggest problem is rust. I assume. Nobody would have dumped it if it was that easy, right? 🤔
As a swede, i am proud that these cars have a cult following all around the world
😁👍
Very good video. Thanks!
I had an 88 760 turbo back in the 90's. Was my favorite car ever!
Nice! 👍
Best volvos ever made!
Agree! 👍
I bought my volvo 740 1986 in 2017 for USD 2840 in Argentina. And it rolls...very well.
love the classic
My dream car! Like from Russia.
Thank you😊
its def a keeper, any car that a person gets for extremely cheap, like in 2019 volvo 740 everywhere else in the world was 2k+ for a shit one, and 3k+ for a decent one, and you got one for 50$, even if it wouldnt have ran or didnt have a engine or some stuff, always a keeper... theres people that get a car for like a 90% off Deal, and instantly sell it to make thousands of profit by flipping, and i do not stand those people, cause if you get like lets say a car that usually retails for 2k-10k, for like 0$-400$... just fix it up and enjoy it, i hope you kept it, i remember i once saw a audi coupe b4 selling for 300 euro Working in my country (latvia), and i was pissed that i didnt get it, those things are like 3k-10k+ now and very rare, and this was like a year ago, and if i wouldve bought it, i would keep it for like 10+ years, they dont sell for cheap... and they dont sell at all.
I want to buy the same car, and now I came across such cool guides, thanks dude
Thank you, appreciate that 😊
I have an 88 740 GLE. Bought it unseen and was also delivered to me from 3 states away. I had to redo the ignition and it runs. I drive it locally as I am to change the heater core soon.
I wish i could find such a deal. The only 740 i SEE in here is not for sale, i tried to buy it but the guy is way too attached to it, even if it rusts and stays parked. I want one since i'm 11 and i am almost 30 now. Time, money and 740 are never together at the same time. I wish you'll take care of it for me who can't have one! It was interesting to see how it looks from under and that gas door in the trunk. That car looks easy to work on, which i thought was being the opposite. Damn, i want one so bad!
Thank you so much for your comment! Where do you live? I really hope you will find a good 740. Wish you the best luck! 😊🙏
@@ejoautovideos Québec province in Canada. It never sold well in Canada, even if we had a factory in the country. Now every kid trashed them drifting. Or they just vanished in other ways.
David Girard There’s a guy in Canada with a youtube channel by the name driftnlifts And he seems to find Volvos dirt cheap pretty easy. His are not in very good condition but when he bought them they were in decent shape. Greetings from Sweden!
@@alfredpalsson I already seen that. Seeing someone destroying such cars is not someone that should know me, if you know what i mean. Anyway time passed since my messages, i checked few of them that were for sale and aesthetics apart, my actual car is better in any aspect so i guess i'll just keep my car.
David Girard yeah I also don’t like that he destroys them but I thought he knew how to find them.
Was praying for ya with that droplink bolt lol the old saying " when an easy 10 minute job turns into a 3 day ordeal ". Well done mate, got an old 850 t5 myself and it really is tough as old boots👍
Thank you hehe😊
Yes I know all the bolts that hasn't been loosened in decades are really stuck sometimes :/
@@ejoautovideos 👍
That hose was a "bit" worn out :D
To say the least! 😂
pff 31 år, knappt inkörd :) Tack för ett underbart klipp !
Hehe :) tack själv!
Volvos are the best!!
😁👍
such a classic, impossible to find these in czech or slovakia
They are everywhere for 10-500$ in sweden
@@mint1547 No man forget it. One in decent condition nowadays sells for about 2000 dollars
Ja ziju v svedsku pisu jako kokot a mam volvo 945. Ale snazim se sehnat neakou 744 jsou to fakt krasny auta
@@F7F7F7F7 bruh i live in sweden, I literally bought one as a project for a couple days ago at 600$
And it was in very good condition
I was thinking how about cleaning the engine, to get all the dirt & grime off, that would look awesome make that engine clean again,who knows when was the last time it was clean, and those cars are awesome, as being a previous owner of a 1981 240 GL, with all the maintenance& simple tasks, that car was like new.
Wow! Vilket fynd! Avis! Men så kul och vad fin den är!
Tackar! 😁
Hehe ja jo lite kontrast mot Hondan dock.. den är ju 28 år äldre 😝
Samtidigt är detta ett intressant projekt! Jag gillar också Volvo 😁👍 och framförallt är det kul att se när en gammal bil blir körduglig. Att skruva är skitkul! Och lär mig massor av er duktiga på tuben. Stor eloge till att du är så pedagogisk och strukturerad i dina klipp. Så även en dummy som jag fattar vad du håller på med 😝
-"Jag har köpt en gammal Volvo"
-"NEY!"
😂
Blir kul att följa 👍😀
Tack bästa du! 😁👍
Kul projekt och bra video! Blir spännande att följa framtida förbättringar 😃🚗
Kul att du tycker det! Tack! 😁👍
Hi, Ive found your profile by searching some stuff and I am glad I did. Your work is great and awesome. I love your garage and wish for one like yours, just loving it. Keep the good work and P.S please recording doing old school cars like mk2 Golf and that, loving it. Sub and definitely a regular visitor to your profile. Have a nice day and greetings from Bosnia👋👋
Looks amazing after jet wash !
Thats an insane deal for a 740.
I just picked up a 940 Manual b230fk midnight blue but i paid like 20 times more.
But i consider it a steal because it hasn't even seen 300tkm yet.
Plenty of body work to be done though, the paint has started to peel on it, typical for old volvos after they switched to water based paint :/
Yes I was really lucky!
Nice, good luck with yours. 👍😊
In Russia, such cars sell for 1500-2000$
Thats crazy haha! Well actually a really good example can sell for that in Sweden aswell. But I got a really good deal on this one! Thanks for watching! 😁
@@ejoautovideos I got offered a 740 for 50$, it was rust free but the rear axle was broken
Yeah also here in Denmark a car like this one, cost around 2-3000 euros.. :)
@@ejoautovideos That could never happen in Denmark. We get aprox 750 euros, for delivering it to the scrap yard from the state.
@@ejoautovideos most here in the Netherlands are upwards of 3k aswell
👍
you must live near biltema)
Fasen vad tråkigt att man inte har hittat din kanal tidigare, hoppas att fler folk får upp den här kanalen på förslags listan, väldigt bra videos rakt igenom
Tack så jättemycket! :)
Man, you just STOLE it for these money, hehe. Good luck with your project!
Hehe thanks bro!
good to see someone doing this too. I bought myself a 7 series dirt cheap and going through restoration :D i'm trying to update on youtube but it is hard;;
Glad to hear that! 😊👍
My grandparents had one of these laying outdoors on their property for 6 years untouched. It took no more than one battery swap to bring it out of hibernation.
Thats really cool, they are built pretty solid in that way. 👍
Who sells a Volvo for USD 50?? It'ś an awesome car. Is the Sweden Rolls Royce!
I know right?! Some of the factors that made it so cheap are:
1. It's a very common car here in Sweden and older cars loose their value very quickly.
2. The owner didn't know how to fix the problem and the hourly rate for leaving it to a workshop in Sweden is very high (100~200$) per hour! :S
Hope you liked the video, thank you for watching! 😁
Ok for me my Volvo is a precious jewel
Love those stubby end links on the 740. The 960 are five times longer and three times more expensive it seems.
Ser fram emot fler avsnitt! Kommer bli kul att följa :)
Kul att höra! Tack så mycket! :)
I had to give up on my 1990 760 gle project car, so I replaced it with a 1990 740. prv is almost impossible to get part for. The redblock is much easier to find parts for.
wow 50, here this car will go for 600/1000 even withouth road inspection if the engine works
Yes it was a bargain!
@@ejoautovideos i got a 240 for 300, but it has a rust hole on the real wheel arch and other various rust points, fuel pumps are shot and one fuel hose leaks, other than that it is ok was regularly driven until 2018
Is that a regular fuel line, or do you have a reinforced one after seeing how that one probably the original was all frayed, also when you took the black plate off I noticed a little bit of dirt or maybe rust starting to form, do you clean that up or fix that surface rust.
Ska bli jäkligt kul att följa projektet 👍🏻
Tack så mycket Dennis, kul! 😁👍
Har du den klassiska lilla bucklan mitt på bagageluckan - en följd av en punktsvets)?
can you please make a playlist of this series so i can binge watch these episodes!
Will do 👍
Trevlig Midsommar
Tack detsamma😊 (i efterskott)
Va rädd om den 😊
Absolut👍 Tycker det är tråkigt med alla som kör sönder gamla Volvo bilar.
Hi Ejo, your know how and video are great, where you procure the parts? I have exactly the same car, 1984 and I would fix some important issues.
Thank you very much!
Here are some Swedish websites you can buy Volvo parts from:
www.vparts.se
www.klracing.se
www.skruvat.se
However I dont know if they ship outside of Sweden.
Check with www.autodoc.com
They also have a lot of parts for Volvo 740 and they ship to many countries.
Använder du en K7a? Min fuckar när jag växlar mellan foamlance och avspolningaläge, pistolen hänger sig i Mix läge och efter 10-15min släpper det oxh jag kan köra på fullt tryck. Är din liknande?
Tjena! Nej jag har en K4 "Full control" den har funkat bra för mig inga konstigheter än. Har haft den i 1,5 år. Tråkigt att din strular :/
Still had the swedish plage in from sweden
How long has it been sat, if you don't mind me asking?
I might be going to see a Volvo 240 that has been sat for 6 years and last started 3 years ago. Do you think I could get it to start again?
Hi! It sat for a couple of months only. He daily drove it prior to the fuel leak.
Nice, they are great cars!
Impossible for me to answer, if you have a no start situation you will need to properly diagnose it.
Could be anything from a bad fuel pump to a faulty ECU.
Thank you for watching and have a great weekend! 😊
I bought a 1982 240 that had sat for 14 years i just shanged the plug vires distributer cap and rotor so its verry vell possible
Volvo bästa
👍👍
😁
Wow there is only one for sale in entire country for $1000 and its been sitting 13years
Which country is that? :)
Which Size are your wheelcaps? I would like to have them in 15" but they are just available in 14".
14"
50 dollars ??? The scrap metal alone is worth wayyy more
Hehe yeah probably! 😝
Hi, it might also be useful to you, this is a Dutchman who speaks good English, even I thought it was an "American" ha ha ha even I fell for it !!
But this "mechanic" has a lot of knowledge about electrical problems and problems and solves them all, so if you ever have an electrical problem in the future (let's hope not), take a look at his videos, even I learn something from it, although you also have to do the right thing have tools and yes I do not have them at least not the right one, but do not matter what you learn from it and that is the main thing.
Look for at You Tube for "DiagnoseDan" good Guy and honest!!!
Are you from sweden? Biltema and swedish text in fuel hole
Yes I am. 😊
What is the brand of your liftcissor , please ?
Good job !
Thank you!
From a Swedish brand called "Pela". But honestly I think it's just a rebranded generic chinese scissor lift. You can probably find equivalent lifts elsewhere aswell.
Capacity: 3 ton
Lift height: 100 cm
like from syria i have same his car
Fan va sjukt att du köpte den för bara 500 spänn
Was the old fuel hose from Biltema?
No, it was from a hose specialist called "Slangservice" 👍
@@ejoautovideos 👌 The old hose was the original hose? Biltema fuel hoses have a bad reputation here in Norway after they introduced ethanol in the fuel. Apparently hoses are cracking after just a year of use due to the ethanol. The hoses from the boat department in the store are apparently working well with the petrol/ethanol fuel. Is this a problem in Sweden too? Thanks for great content. I've watched everything about the VW Golf and I'm looking forward to see this project too. 👌👌
Roligt projekt:) Finns det någon tråd på garaget.org att följa?
Tack så mycket! :D
Nej tyvärr, men man kanske skulle ta och fixa en tråd! :P
Fick du den seriöst för typ 500kr?
Ja, jag lovar! Riktigt klipp alltså! 👍
Hello my friend, do you know where the benzine filter is? On my 240 its beside the pump under car under driverseat, not so in 740 model! Can you shine some light? Subscribed,⚓
Hello my friend, thank you for the sub! Look at the "40 min wrench fest" video on this Volvo. In that video I replace the fuel filter. 👍
@@ejoautovideos yes i looked it up,every info on the net is like yours....but my friends 740 has no filter beside his pump. Its same model, carburator model...'85 i think, bizarr isnt it?
Kul video! 👍
Hojta till om du vill sälja 740;in?
Tackar! 😁
Absolut, kommer nog dock inte sälja inom det närmaste..
okay, what the fuck? you paid $50 for a volvo 740.... i am from the netherlands and also bought myself a volvo 740 i have paid.... $1400 wwar are you from? I will buy my next car there!😂😂😂😂😂 awesome video
It was a really good deal even here in Sweden. Also prices has gone up in the last couple of years.
Can you manage to get rid of that music?
Bra att du inte köpte Biltema bränsleslang rena dyngan spricker och läcker håller inte lång tid Fått byta många Biltema slangar
Lol grejerna du fick med kostar typ lika mycket som du gav för den
Haha jaa 😂
1k 👍🏿
Hell yeah! Thanks dude! 😁🤙
tell me you live in the first world without telling me you live in the first world: I bought a car in good condition for the price of a bus ticket because it had a broken hose.
One thing.. The music is WAY too loud compared to any other sounds.. During this video I got 19 claims from my neighbours and 7 fines from the police for noise..
I’ll buy it from you for 50$
WHAT. really 50 dollars???? ghad D A M
Sounds and look like you are working in a morgue bit creepy. Adam
Hi mate! you this car with 50usd. you know mine is 88 740 GLE i bought it 3 years ago till now i can't drive it. i pay for it 3200 USD and i spent almost 1500 USD is still not drivable.
Too bad man! Whats wrong with it?
@@ejoautovideos we think it has hall sensor which is on the distributor, and maybe the amplifier!
