Price: US $3,500.00
Up for bid is a true
survivor. A 1993 Volvo 940 wagon with 91, 000 original miles on the clock.
I usually restore these but
a customer of mine sent this car to me to preventatively perform the 100k
scheduled maintenance on it. Anything that was due or in need was replaced or
serviced, using OE Volvo or sourced European made parts. The description below as
well as the collection of photos will show this car is ready to serve someone
for many more years without the worry of any major repair needs. The reserve is
fair and far less than if you were to take a similar car and bring it up to its
current standard.
The paint (189 white) is in excellent condition. There are a few very minor
dings. All power windows work perfectly and smooth as does the power sunroof. New Llumar (lifetime warranty) tint graces
the glass and protects the interior.
The tan interior is in rare beautiful condition. Like new OE tan floor trays
protects the carpets and I’m including a rear cargo tray to insure things remain clean
no matter what you haul. 3rd row seating is included. All the dash
and console lamps have been replaced, and the stereo was upgraded to a CD
player. The cruise works perfectly.
1993 was a transition year
for air conditioning lines and condensers. This particular car had the earlier, more costly and rare design. These were replaced with the later more efficient
lines and condenser. A new accumulator-drier, o-rings and charge were added. AC blows ice
cold just in time for summer.
The chassis rides on front Sachs
gas struts, newer ball joints and poly stay bushings. New tie rod ends and end
links were installed followed by a fresh alignment. The control arms were
upgraded to steel as used in turbo models. The rear has new Sachs gas shocks. The brake system was flushed, the
fluid changed and consists of newer calipers and rotors, new pads and new flex
lines all around. Tires have less than 10k on a matching set of 4 General Altimax RT’s
mounted on 15” factory Adhara alloys.
A compression test showed
signs of a weakened head gasket – common for 20 yrs of service. There was also
a slight weep at the rear main seal. The
easiest and most thorough service was to pull the drive train to freshen the
head and replace all the original seals. While out the oil pump o-rings, commonly overlooked – were also replaced. Head work included a complete
tear down, new guide seals, hushers, porting and valve job. A 'T' cam (from a
turbo) was added to improve low end torque. Its what it should have come with from the factory. The transmission was
serviced / flushed, with a new filter, front pump seal and all new fluid. The cooling system was overhauled with new
hoses, thermostat, sensors, water pump and complete flush / new coolant. The
radiator was already recently replaced. All new drive belts, timing belt and
tensioner were also installed. Alternator was tested and contacts cleaned. The
separator box (crank case ventilation) and throttle body was thoroughly cleaned
and polished and a new flame trap installed. New air and fuel filters, plugs, wires, cap, rotor and flywheel sensor rounds it out. When re-installed, new motor and transmission mounts were added. Last
but not least, it all breathes through a new front to back stainless exhaust
system, complete with a new free flow catalytic converter.
This car runs, drives and
rides like a dream. It has a clean Oklahoma title. It is not
a new car - but as close to one as you’ll find and one that needs absolutely
nothing but a driver. Car is currently stored in a climate controlled shop in Ashland, Ohio - halfway between
Cleveland
and
Columbus
. I will assist in any way to help with arranging
transport, or you are free to fly in (I can pick you up at the airport) and drive it home. You won't be
disappointed. Good luck!
NOTE: No warranty is offered or implied. $500 deposit due within 48 hrs of end
of auction. Balance due within 7 days unless other arrangements are made. I
will assist the buyer with any freight, delivery or pickup details. Please
contact me with ANY questions before bidding.
