I never liked Volvos for obvious reasons, but i picked one up at a garage sale once. I have now owned 4 of them. When that motor is kicking over and you hear everything working like clock work and know you can't break it....... The older ones were the shit and there is no better feeling than leaving a brand new XR6 or Commodore behind you in the dust of an old tractor. Suckers :)
the engine on the 1974-1993 Canada: 1974-1985 Malaysia: 1984-1996 Volvo 200 Series Engine 1,784 cc B17 SOHC I4 1,986 cc B19/B200 SOHC I4 1,986 cc B20 OHV I4 2,127 cc B21 SOHC I4 2,316 cc B23/B230 SOHC I4 2,664 cc B27 (PRV) SOHC V6 2,849 cc B28/B280 (PRV) SOHC V6 1,986 cc D20 SOHC I5 diesel 2,383 cc D24 SOHC I6 diesel
Great cars for toughness and incredible long lasting durability only equalled by a Mercedes 300, but you'd be lucky to get one to burn out like that without a lot of effort :D
@czarpeppers if you can't hold a drift because lack of power then you need more PSI or narrower tyre. The general rule with under power drifting is balls of steel and high entry speed. Most drifters in 2011 are doing power sliding now a days.
They are not very 240 in Sweden at all anymore. Either they are scrapped, standing around on farms or small towns in Sweden. Many have also become stock car cars, rally cars or gatbilar which is tuned as much as they possibly can. If you find a 240 turbo in Sweden you should be very happy for most of the youths had and drove down: (
Almost 3 million 240's made. I guess that would suffice as a successful run. Too bad 240 turbo's are getting more and more rare.I would never have guessed my 242 turbo and 245 turbo would actually increase in value.
@yamahaevo There's a difference between not being able to drive and not having sufficient power to induce power oversteer in order to start a slide. Obviously that could be remedied by using the Scandinavian flick in order to bring the back out, but even then there will not be enough power to keep a drift going for any length of time. I am talking about dry pavement, of course. Add some gravel or snow to the mix and problem solved. But I doubt you actually understood that.

I can assure you there was no way in hell you would be able to squeal the wheels in a non-turbo with an automatic. Putt-putt-putt.
