This Volvo 740 Turbo might have a good motor...

- I don't like scrapping cars but in some cases they are good for a few parts to keep other cars on the road. Fortunately this one was cheap and doesn't run. While stripping the car I made the realization that the turbo motor might actually be good...
Lets see if we can get it out without injury! - Авто та транспорт

For anyone interested Rockauto is having a clearance sale on Volvo 240 parts right now. I just bought a rebuilt starter, 4 NKG iridium plugs, 4 oil filters, trans service kit, brake hardware x 4 wheels, a thermostat and seal all for $97!
Ive already gotten two different orders LOL some good stuff available!
I just discovered your channel a few days ago and subbed immediately. I have a thing for Cadillacs and Volvos and this is the first channel I've seen that anyone has worked on a Volvo let alone specialize in Volvos. I'm learning a lot even though I will probably never own a Volvo. You have a great sense of humor and you and your wife make an awesome team. Congratulations on the new job too!
Welcome to the party!! As you can see the Volvo content is alive and well here!!
Hey Dean, I’m really pleased that you are back in work, I hope that it is interesting and rewarding. Another turbo block has got to be worth the storage space!
They are getting rare!! I wish all Volvos could be saved!!
I would give that ratchet strap dismount a solid 6/10.
Ill work on my form!!
I just got my 2nd 240. Hasn't passed MOT in 10 years, many owners, mileage stuck. Rusty. But after fixing a coolant leak, adding some oil and coolant along with some petrol and she started right up. Drove it 150km home and will now replace the floor near the driver and passenger side, and rear right passenger floor. Frame was also bad around these areas so I'm rebuilding the frame. GOod to see other people doing what they can to save these cars.
It's important to save these old tanks! Even if it means scrapping a few junkers for parts.
Great video dude. It’s a sad day when a Volvo goes to scrap but it will help others on the way. Plus leaves another space on your drive for more Volvos 😉
Sad but necessary. If I could save it I would!
@@DeanofMachines oh I know man. I was the same when the smashed 940 went it was shit but nothing I could do.
@@SimpsonsClassics atleast the parts can live on!
@@DeanofMachines exactly dude it’s still saving a Volvo or multiple Volvos in our case.
Glad to hear your back employed also. Hope it's a good fit for you.
Seems ok soo far. It does keep me away from Volvos though…
Putting money in your pocket and helping keep it there too. Haha
@@rodneyss19 yeah. I seem to buy a lot of things when Im not working LOL
Always sad to see an RWD Volvo meet it's fate. But the heart will live on, hopefully.
When they get to a certain point, there's no financially great way to save them. Unless of course I can crowd fund it... Consider a membership!
@@DeanofMachines Agree completely! Still sad to think about that car's glory days in the late 80s/early 90s compared to being yanked off of a trailer in a scrap yard.
@@adamv242 Without a doubt it was a great car in it's day
The interior😭 that is so hard to find here in Sweden
I saved the door panels. All the plastic pieces are super brittle
Congrats on the new job. Hope you find some time to get the 242 Turbo back on the road and the hood and trunk repainted. Best wishes😊
Thank you! Still undecided on painting the 240. We shall see…
Either way, you'll have a great car. I lucked out and had my 81 242 TIC repainted in 2000 by the old original Volvo dealer here on Houston, Niels Sefeldt. They were acquired by one of the mega dealers (AutoNation or Sonic, etc.) but were great while they were family run. BTW, black cars are awfully hot here during these southern summers. Even my silver 84 242 TIC with a black interior gets very hot when left in the sun. Always looking for shade or covered parking in the summer as the R134A AC just doesn't cool the car down very quickly.
@@algarcia7893 thats cool that they painted it!! We are constantly struggling with the heat down here!
Nice work brother!
Thank you kindly!
Look forward to these videos Dean, loving the safety crocs !
Keeping it safe!
Congrats on the new job. That's the real news. Man is not meant to be idle.
The funny thing is, I got MORE BUSY once I was unemployed!! Good to have the steady income for projects again.
Congratulations on your new job! I just started a new job this past week myself!
Congratulations!! Being able to pay your tax man is the best way to support your local Mafia!
Thanks!
Thank you bob!!!
Congrats on the new gig! I was thinking (which people who know me find both disquieting and concerning) that one of those cheapo moving dollies from Harbor Freight would make removing and moving engines around easier in situations such as this. Just a thought...
Whats funny about your comment… on the way back from the scrap yard i went to HF and bought a truck bed crane for $120 and two vehicle dollies(they hold the weight better). I mounted the crane to the front corner of the trailer and its the perfect height to pick the motor/trans and swing it off the trailer and set it on the ground.
I also have dirty thoughts of a lift mounted on a trailer…
@@DeanofMachines Careful about the dirty thoughts...this is a good, upstanding, Swedish Family channel!! Right??
You are absolutely right! I wouldn’t want any misunderstandings
Here in sweden the leather interior could bring you some money😊
I believe it! It's unfortunate that shipping costs sooo much
@@DeanofMachines was it in good condition? I guess every 740 has leather over there😄so hard to sell?
@@pellepp9628 No it was super dry and as cracking unfortunately.
Loving the Volvo content!
Be great to see a 780 Bertone coupe on the channel??
I love the idea of a 780. I don’t know if I would want one though. Parts are a pain to source
Nice video😀
Thanks for the visit
Sweet! ❤
Just what I needed! More parts lol.
sad to see a 740 go to the scrapper but with no title i understand why :)
A necessary evil I would say.
I’m curious to know how come you ended up scrapping this car?
No paperwork, interior is torn apart, motor is questionable. These sedans really have no value here unfortunately.
What does a car stripped to that extent bring in scrap value?
Only about $150 unfortunately.
Could that engine/gearbox be transplanted into the Amazon??
Would the front brakes swop over as well??
Pretty cool to keep that stuff though 👌🏼
Its possible with some metal fab work. Thankfully its missing a lot of metal!
@@DeanofMachines I presume it would bump up the bhp a tad???
целый кузов и все это в металлом.
Most of it was metal! There was good sheet metal. I saved the doors and fenders!
You should send this video to the manufacturers of those ratchet straps and trailer for them to use selling their products.
Be safe my friend, that's some sketchy shit you did.
If I climb under it, it gets jackstands, I can promise you that!!
@DeanofMachines I was more concerned with the strap or trailer breaking and something flying up and taking off your head! I just assumed you're smart enough to not get under it! :)
@@rodneyss19 i did break a ratchet strap doing this LOL. The mechanism, not the strap
eject
Ejecto seato cuzz!!! Lol
Happy for you
Thank you! It wasn’t the plan but hopefully worth the effort
dude you should see a doctor your right hand is tiny...and bone white
And seems to be stuck pointing at things!
Its probably just dehydrated.
