Vehicle Detail

THE OVERVIEW Offered for an appreciating new owner is this CUSTOM 1991 Volvo 740 turbo sedan! Finished in silver metallic over grey cloth interior, THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE VOLVO SEDAN that epitomizes the phrase "TOTAL SLEEPER"! Just shipped in from the west coast, this absolutely clean, dry, rust-free California gem has been driven a mere 123,800 miles by two local owners. NOTE: I just shipped this car from San Francisco for my personal use to enjoy driving while visiting Boston for the week with intention of passing on to its new owner upon my departure back to the left coast! With approximately $20,000 invested in this one-of-a kind 740, this ridiculously fast Volvo features a professionally installed perfect running 300+ horsepower 5.7 liter V8 LT-1 Corvette C4 power plant mated to a T-56 6 speed manual transmission! Stopping power is provided by huge brakes with drilled and slotted rotors front and rear. The suspension consists of IPD sway bars, polyeurathane bushings with new control arms. The exhaust is head-turning with that classic V8 rumble sometimes overshadowed only by the sound of smoking rubber! Other noteworthy mechanicals on this car include C4 generation II 190 degree thermostat and coolant sensor replacement, new water pump, recent transmission flush and oil change and complete $800 A/C overhaul with Delphi compressor, new dryer, expansion valve and fresh charge. It sports BOTH the 16" alloy wheels as shown PLUS the new owner will receive a set of four 16" 5 spoke factory wheels. This custom Volvo sedan is all original inside [including the 5 speed shift knob] with ALL systems in excellent working order including electric windows and sunroof, COLD A/C, heated seats and more! This special sedan is being sold with clear and clean California title and current registration AND even has the coveted "B.A.R." sticker making it 100% legal back here in California. This is a fabulous low-mileage rust-free find for the Volvo enthusiast offered here on Ebay with a low four-figure reserve! PLEASE CALL 650-307-2251 FOR QUESTIONS, TEST DRIVES AND/OR MECHANICAL INSPECTIONS! THE BODY AND TRIM The exterior of this classic Volvo sedan is in very good to excellent, straight, clean, dry rust-free condition overall. The paint could use a good polish showing some typical light scratches, oxidation/fading on the top surfaces. Overall this is an amazingly clean example usually unseen in the New England! THE INTERIOR The interior of this 23+ year-old non-smoker Volvo is in amazing near-perfect showroom condition with only some light wear to the cloth upholstery with everything inside the car in excellent working order! THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE This custom Volvo sedan is a hoot to drive! Yes it is a true sleeper that amazes unsuspecting fellow motorists with its V8 exhaust note and astounding grin-inducing acceleration! It starts, runs, handles, steers, brakes and rides very well with stiff clunk and rattle-free suspension, good steering feel and excellent stopping power! THE DETAILS AND $$$$$ 1. This custom Volvo will be sold with clear and clean California title in hand and will be sold "AS IS" with no written or verbal warranties expressed or implied.
