I get that!! When you are a kid, or teen, you think the music your parents listened to, the clothes they wore and the cars they drive were lame and sucked!!!! and now that you are and adult yourself you understand that you did not know everything in your youth and your parents life choices were not as bad as you once thought!!!!!
These cars are quite expensive here in Sweden, prices went from 6 000 to 14 000 in just 2 years. 8 years ago all of my friends had a 240, 740 or 940 but since swedish roads gets salted during winter, every car rusts and so my friends bout newer cars. One great thing, when our cars turn 30 years there's no more tax and controls will be done with 2 years apart, insted of every year💪
When it comes to these type of filming and editing style, Robyworks are the best of the best hands down. Not gonna lie, its so good that I get emotional.
As a Swede, watching people dream about getting a Volvo and complaining about parts being hard to find is actually hilarious to me. Not in the derogatory way, but mostly because over here it's so goddamn easy to find a good RWD Volvo 2/7/940 for less than $1000, and parts are absolutely abundant at car depots and junkyards. I've owned three Volvos so far and I've trouble imagining I'll ever get something else!
Honestly I have never had issues finding parts. Between Bosch, IPD and Ebay, everything is available. Still plenty in junkyards, although dwindling now. Only 'rare' thing really are nice-looking 15" and 16" oem alloy rwd wheelsets, but who cares when new ones are cheaper, lighter, and come in more sizes.
We had a 240 wagon for nearly 14 years - it was a tremendous, over engineered car, with timeless looks, sofa seats, and it felt like it had been milled from solid steel. It looked as good as new when we sold it. Beautiful car - and still fondly remembered!
My mum had a Volvo like this, it saved her life in a head on collision with a motorbike in the wrong lane on a contra flow through the Blackwall tunnel in London UK, the biker ended up quadriplegic, mum got a bruised breast and ptsd. We have been a family if Volvo drivers ever since. Mum now has a S40, dad a big estate one that he uses like a truck at times and I currently have a V40. Love Volvos!!

ً I've got one with 490 000 Kms that has sat behind a barn in the grass for 5 years. Only had to tap the front fuel pump with a hammer to get I to start up and after that the rear one handles it like nothing, Volvo 740 from 1990
@flip inheck they removed the engine and gearbox just to make that shitty renault win the test my mum had a crash with a 740 i know how good these cars are
I already wanted some certain Volvo's before watching this video. That's why I looked up a video about it in the first place. I love the style of the cars so much. 😍😍💖💖
I've wanted a rear wheel drive Volvo forever now but if i had every car I ever wanted I'd need a several walmart size warehouses to hold them all... there is a difference between wanting and needing and now I dont want a rwd volvo I need one
To get one made into these turbo beasts would be more than I can afford right now, and it probably won't make its money back! I have to go with practicality, daily driver and economy stuff instead.
@@RennieAsh so a rwd volvo that is not built then xD 200hp on a stock turbo, no problem, take a stock head and port it on a NA and machine a couple mm and you get anything from 150hp-200hp on the engine xD
My first car was a Volvo V70 2.4T AWD and it literally never let me down in all the years I owned it. It was reliable, spacious, economic to own and drive, had all-wheel-drive and felt decently quick with its five cylinder turbo engine, producing 210 hp. That car will forever have a special place in my memory.
@@rumenkostoff I really wish I had the money to throw a giant ass turbo, a set of front slicks, and a hood pipe at my Swedish Brick. The early 2000's wagons have lots going for them in terms of being a straight line sledgehammer. The engines are solid and you can either find them with the 6 speed automatic or put one in.
this video is genuinley amazing, anyone who didn't appreciate these cars before definitley appreciate them now, make me love them so much more for sure

@@DesertWolfFIN because ford rust crazy much and gets lots of engine problems after a certain amount of mileage unless mk4 mustang with V8 or crown vic, beemers have a lot of engine and subframe problems while not being very easy to work on, only major problems volvo has is differential and 3rd gear on the M90 gearbox which was only offered in the 940 and 960 afaik, they got so much room in the engine bay you can even put a Viper engine with minor modifications (which is an 8.4L V10 if you didn't know, which is a HUGE engine)

Epic video. One funny thing you can tell if you ever had a volvo is the first modification i noticed in those racing volvos is the steering angle improvement. Stock volvos have a pretty large turning circle.
if you took the earth from the electric overdrive and split it in the chassis you can use the overdrive in all 4 gears, amazing to pull caravan with xD 100km+ at 2d gear
Such great cars. I've had the good fortune to own a few 240s. Still the best suspension volvo ever made. The 740/940 messed up the rear geometry a bit.
Been driving for over 45 years. Nothing comes close to the old 240 Volvo. No joke, a million miles on them is very doable. Performance is leisurely for sure. Safety was unmatched.
Great cars built robust and made for eternity if well maintained and worked on - same goes for daily driving aswell as safety - those oldschool designs do have their own charme
I made the best choice in my life and got a 940 as my first car. With b230ft and zf gearbox will make a UA-cam series on the car. Will make small upgrades in the future :)
i bought a 945 HPT as my new daily two weeks ago and i fell in love with it already lol, done 1600km in those two weeks, most of which was just driving for the fun of it already
I have a volvo 240 with a stock turbo, and endless private dirtroads... And when the lakes freeze up, winter tires with big studs... All the fun i need!
FWD had been pushed by other companies as being "safer" and "easier to drive". When really it was just "cheaper to manufacture" and "more fuel efficient". With AWD, either a rwd style or fwd style layout can work, and volvo with with a opposed fwd type. This enabled better packaging, and lighter weight. Companies like BMW continued with RWD purely as a function of legacy (ahem, "Luxury") marketing and lazy engineering, perfering to complicate everything else instead.
Hahaha braden Carlson and drifts n lifts have had them long before it was a fad. The fact that everyone else is going for this niche platform are just followers
I have had at least 9 Volvo 240's 4 or 5 wagons,,3-4 4 door sedans. I think they are the one of the best cars ever build worldwide. Solid, reliable, fuel economy is great with that 4 cylinder.

@@thefreedomguyuk Lol. You didn't get the joke Boomer. Paul Walker was the actor in Fast and the Furious movies. He was the main protagonist, and he himself loved cars. He died in a car crash while in the passenger seat of a porsche carrera gt.
BTW. I am building up a 350 motor(from the block) to put in my daily drive 94 s10. I do also plan to get positrack as well. I do stand by my jokes in some reguard.
This video makes me even more excited for once I get my license, as I just bought a Volvo 940 Sedan from my brother this weekend, can't wait to see what kind of adventures and trips to the police station it will take me to. 🔥
I wanted a Volvo for the better part of my life, I finally got the chance to buy one and I don’t regret it one bit, absolutely amazing car
Best 240 740 movie. More please.

This made me emotional about volvos so that means you've done a good job
I drove a 240 in High School in the early 90's...yes she will drift.
Hands down. Best Volvo video on UA-cam I have ever seen. And I literally have seen everything. At least once.
I am quite a Volvo nerd myself. I mean, a "Volvo enthusiast". But only have two Volvos at the moment... But anyways, the video is sick. Thank you for putting that together!
To all the Volvo gang out there - stay safe. Take care of your ride. And smoke some Beemers today.
Love the RWD bricks owned a 1980. Volvo 242 gt over 15yrs and recently acquired a 1989 Volvo 740 wagon b234 16v dark charcoal gray paint with mint all black leather interior with zero rust 😍💯🤤,

One year later and this video still makes me so happy.
A sideways , tyre smokin' Volvo is probably one of the best things to behold . Thank you to everyone involved in the making of this masterpiece . Damn this is GOOD !
I have a modified Volvo 740 Gle so it's good to know that people have the same passion as me
I love that I was fortunate enough to be born in Sweden where these are the most common cars there is. I fucking love old Volvos.
EmilTorge been in Gustavsberg in autumn 2019 and I was really enjoyed of volvo meetings I saw every evening👍
1975 volvo 242 👌 those were the days
I mean honestly even the 2000's S60 R's are really cool too, straight 5 making 295hp to all 4 wheels is neat
BEST VOLVO VIDEO, I EVER SAW!
My girlfriend in high school had a Volvo. We used to take it to the high school in winter and do donuts in the parking lot....it was awesome!!!
I drive a Volvo semi truck. I LOVE IT. Been in some horrendous weather and hasn’t yet let me down.
I've always wanted one, they're awesome and indestructible
ً I've got one with 490 000 Kms that has sat behind a barn in the grass for 5 years. Only had to tap the front fuel pump with a hammer to get I to start up and after that the rear one handles it like nothing, Volvo 740 from 1990

I've wanted a rear wheel drive Volvo forever now but if i had every car I ever wanted I'd need a several walmart size warehouses to hold them all...
there is a difference between wanting and needing and now I dont want a rwd volvo I need one
SAMPLE TEXT this is the comment I needed to read
To get one made into these turbo beasts would be more than I can afford right now, and it probably won't make its money back! I have to go with practicality, daily driver and economy stuff instead.
@@RennieAsh so a rwd volvo that is not built then xD 200hp on a stock turbo, no problem, take a stock head and port it on a NA and machine a couple mm and you get anything from 150hp-200hp on the engine xD
It's all illusion, like everything else is. Just persistent illusion.
My first car was a Volvo V70 2.4T AWD and it literally never let me down in all the years I owned it. It was reliable, spacious, economic to own and drive, had all-wheel-drive and felt decently quick with its five cylinder turbo engine, producing 210 hp. That car will forever have a special place in my memory.
One of the most satisfying automobiles you can ever sit in. *trunk lid flies off*
This video deserves more than a million views.
It's getting there and definitely gonna do it

Sadly my Sweden Brick is a FWD model, but I still love it! Straight 5 engines are just so under appreciated!
Mine too! I have an 850 naturally aspirated it's still super fun
@@rumenkostoff I really wish I had the money to throw a giant ass turbo, a set of front slicks, and a hood pipe at my Swedish Brick. The early 2000's wagons have lots going for them in terms of being a straight line sledgehammer. The engines are solid and you can either find them with the 6 speed automatic or put one in.
this video is genuinley amazing, anyone who didn't appreciate these cars before definitley appreciate them now, make me love them so much more for sure
That was the first turbo car I ever drove in when I was a kid, it was my uncle's and today it's still a badazz ride.
That put some tears in my eyes.
I was crying a hour after this video!!!
Me too......to much emotive

Better than all original Volvo advertisements nowadays 👍🏼

Hell yeah, a golden oldie
I feel like you can judge a real car enthusiast based on what they think about volvos. Every real enthusiast lowkey wants a rwd volvo.
why volvo when you can get a Ford Sierra or a bmw, both of them perform better
@@DesertWolfFIN because ford rust crazy much and gets lots of engine problems after a certain amount of mileage unless mk4 mustang with V8 or crown vic, beemers have a lot of engine and subframe problems while not being very easy to work on, only major problems volvo has is differential and 3rd gear on the M90 gearbox which was only offered in the 940 and 960 afaik, they got so much room in the engine bay you can even put a Viper engine with minor modifications (which is an 8.4L V10 if you didn't know, which is a HUGE engine)
RWD Volvo, Lancia and Alfa Romeo.... You have to own at least one, once. And a SAAB to get into heaven, for you have been through hell already.
@@LocalAutist volvos look ugly,the test of the cars you mentioned dont,also i know E46 that had nothing changed yet,the car is unkillable.

All leather interior all original , heated heats , power windows etc prob more I'm not thinking about but I absoulutly freaking love the car , it's fast , rides smooth , handles amazing .
Epic video. One funny thing you can tell if you ever had a volvo is the first modification i noticed in those racing volvos is the steering angle improvement. Stock volvos have a pretty large turning circle.
The seats, are by far, the most comfy seats in any car.
I've always wanted a rwd volvo, my first car was a black 940 4-speed manual with a weird electronic button overdrive!
if you took the earth from the electric overdrive and split it in the chassis you can use the overdrive in all 4 gears, amazing to pull caravan with xD 100km+ at 2d gear
@@Stale_Mahoney That can blow your shit up if you're not careful though
Such great cars. I've had the good fortune to own a few 240s. Still the best suspension volvo ever made. The 740/940 messed up the rear geometry a bit.
Been driving for over 45 years. Nothing comes close to the old 240 Volvo. No joke, a million miles on them is very doable. Performance is leisurely for sure. Safety was unmatched.
Great cars built robust and made for eternity if well maintained and worked on - same goes for daily driving aswell as safety - those oldschool designs do have their own charme
Already got a 240, whos getting a 531 head and a turbo very soon
Can you maybe make a UA-cam video of it??
I made the best choice in my life and got a 940 as my first car. With b230ft and zf gearbox will make a UA-cam series on the car. Will make small upgrades in the future :)

I have a volvo 240 with a stock turbo, and endless private dirtroads... And when the lakes freeze up, winter tires with big studs... All the fun i need!
i dont understand why volvo stopped making RWD cars.... it really made them special
FWD had been pushed by other companies as being "safer" and "easier to drive". When really it was just "cheaper to manufacture" and "more fuel efficient". With AWD, either a rwd style or fwd style layout can work, and volvo with with a opposed fwd type. This enabled better packaging, and lighter weight. Companies like BMW continued with RWD purely as a function of legacy (ahem, "Luxury") marketing and lazy engineering, perfering to complicate everything else instead.

I have had at least 9 Volvo 240's 4 or 5 wagons,,3-4 4 door sedans. I think they are the one of the best cars ever build worldwide. Solid, reliable, fuel economy is great with that 4 cylinder. Every time I would go to sell one, it sold within a day or so. Excellent North East, New England driving car. Great in the snow.Not fast, but always gets you to your destination.
I dont think thoose volvo's has the original engine.
