5:17 Its most likely "Piroska", its a hungarian name, sometimes nickname for someone. There is no translation for english, but Piros means Red in Hungarian (this has nothing to do with it the first sentence, i just wrote it as a "fun fact") [Edit: +fun fact. In Hungary, Piroska is the name for the girl, from "Little Red Riding Hood"]
Thank you for the breakdown!!
Im from up in Maine and we have a pretty good Volvo community, i showed them your channel so expect some new subs coming along :)
Thank you very much! Welcome to the family!
Definitely do a will it start on the van!
I think I can make it happen!
@@DeanofMachines VW Transporter caledI I think in the UK, Is it A Diesel or Petrol ?
@@Oh-Jay52 here its a Vanagon. Its a liquid cooled, gas fuel injected 1.9L
Hey Dean. Take it from me, you do not have a problem! I'm a reader. While books take up less room than the average Flying Brick, they still cost money. Like the average Flying Brick rescue, they take time to complete. Currently, I have multiple stashes of unread books in multiple places in the house just as you have multiple Volvos in various locations.When my long-suffering spouse looks quizzically as I open yet another package with a new or used book in it I get the sense that she is thinking (loudly) that enough is indeed enough. But these books my friend, are what your cars are to you. Rather than cluttering your home with emotional support animals, you have your emotional support stash of Volvos waiting to be rejuvenated. Just as my emotional support stash of books keeps me centered and balanced, your car stash does the same for you! Live long and prosper, friend!
Thanks John! I think you might’ve hit the nail on the head!
I'm impressed of your collection. I collected old Volvos for about thirty years but mainly of the 120 and 140 Series. I even owned some 240's and 740'/940's and a '72 B 58-60 Bus. It was real fun to deal with cars built this tough. In 1990 I became a car-mechanic (learned at a Volvo dealership). I almost owned every type of Volvo built between 1962 and 1972 (except the 1800 ES). I visited Sweden several times and also the Volvo-Museum and the Torslanda Works in Göteborg.
Ca. 2012 I had to end this because of health issues. My daily driver today is a '69 145. After I had nearly 50 Volvos of different kinds I can assume that the Volvos of the 140 Seriers are the best cars Volvo ever built. But I even loved to drive the Duetts, Amazons, 240's and 740/940's and all the others.
Keep up the Volvo-Flag! Greetings from Kiel/Germany
Hi there! Thank you for sharing. It’s amazing how much love can be shown for these fun little cars. When I get the chance I would LOVE to go to Sweden!
Thanks for watching!
Hey Dean! I wouldn't consider it a problem. It's an opportunity! You guys are doing some amazing work helping this lady! Taking off a heavy burden. Thou shall be called volvo appostles! You guys are blessed to be a blessing!❤🎉😊. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Doing the lords work is hard but rewarding!
Oh! I saw some series Land Rovers in the back there! Anne had a lot of cool cars back in those woods!
She had several!
Come here just for the lawncare sounds in the background....
We should all follow Dean's unselfish example and assist senior citizens in need!
How can this only be 22mins???
There should be enough video for like 3 hours 😂😂
Was just getting into it when it ended
More like this Dean please 👌🏻
Hey Phil! The funny part is, I made this video because so much time has been spent pulling cars out that I havent had much wrenching time. Longer videos of each will be had down the line!
@@DeanofMachines now that's something I can't wait to see 👍
Dean, it looks like you might need a 12 step program. VA Volvo Anonymous can work for you. Great video
LOL. I agree. Dean's first step is to admit he has a problem. His problem? He has an addiction to buying dirty busted arse derelict old Volvos. I hope you get the help you need Dean. LOL
Oh and btw, you seem to have tolerant lady with you, tolerant and forgiving. She is lovely and you are lucky. Now go and fix something.
The dreadful clunk, that’s either your new nickname or the title of an episode! Keep on keeping on, this is one awesome channel!
Thanks my friend! I do what I can to keep it fun and productive!
Getting some strong nostalgia from those Land Rovers. My Dad had a couple when I was a kid.
They are pretty cool!
Anne is a character and really nice lady. Sucks about the 940 engine! Yes, let’s see the van start!
Also, really looking forward to the rest of the collection reveal!
Its been a lot of fun getting to know her!
I think you should get the Van running. I got the White 69 bus running after 40 years of sitting there!
The brown van doesn’t have points and carbs unfortunately. It does have brittle wiring though!
@@DeanofMachines don’t breath on them to hard! 😅
Car #4 puts me in mind of my own 740, which I really need to get back on the road in time for summer.
It's interesting to see that the car has a lockable boot/trunk floor, which I've heard about but have never actually seen.
I always found it to be a funny feature. Whats the point of it?
@@DeanofMachines Seems a bit pointless to me, but it must have appealed to certain people such as doctors and vetenarians who habitually carried drugs as part of their profession.
You have some nice gems in there. Man were some of those Volvos neglected. 😢
The way I see it, it’s a few good parts on a lot of cars.
The Euro headlights in the old Benz is a good score..
I want the car but its been claimed buy someone else
PS: Red rust stains all around the coolant hoses - it had a blown HG and they drove it with straight water for a while and a lot of it ended up in the oil, and some outside too.
Which one are you talking about?
Lol, TOO MANY CARS! On the black wagon, there are some rusty water looking stains on the radiator and below it on the intercooler piping, likely from it puking rusty coolant out. I made the comment, and then you called it out as a HG issue yourself in the video.
@@johnmcraven3598 ah yeah. The signs are all there unfortunately. Now I have to do something interesting with it.
You said you were gonna make some bad financial decisions but if I recall you said that she was selling the cars for $500 each and if thats the case I'd say you got a good deal for all those Volvos parts to price wise. Glad someone like you could save most of the poor volvos!
Prices were dependent on paper work and overall condition. Most of what I picked up was to use for the channel and then find a new home.
@@DeanofMachines Still great content! I'm figuring out how I could start restoring old cars myself. Any advice would be appreciated.
@@judahfreeman8896 work for someone that has a shop. Spend someone elses money to build cars. Its very expensive to do this personally now.
The rear trailing arm mounts are solid on the bus…. They often rot and collapse. It’s a good start
Its very nice for sitting in the woods for 30 years!
@@DeanofMachines I’ve had a good few T25’s as they’re called in the UK (T3’s everywhere else) simple mechanics but like to rot. If it’s water cooled, the head bolts go through the water jacket and can cause some issues
What an incredible find! Congrats!
Soo many under appreciated cars!
Can you PLEASE do this full time and record every minute? Very entertaining video
Thanks for coming back!
So thats where that green 242 went off too
I felt bad keeping all the cars to myself. Mikes the reason it all happened so he got his pick of the litter.
Another Excellent Video! Please keep them coming. Thank you Sir!
You keep coming back and I’ll keep making Volvos entertaining!
Man those MK1 rabbits are worth a bit of filming!
They are cool but not are all wrecks. None have motors in them.
17:45 Hope that old BMW 7-series isn't too far gone to be saved by someone. Kinda sad to see it just sitting there to rot.
It was very rough. I tried to buy it but someone snagged it while I was moving the other cars
Love the videos! Would love to find a 240 from late 70s to early 80s!
Theres a few left here! If you are stateside we can find you something!
Excellent job sir!! Very jealous!
Thank you kindly!
I vote you do a "will it run" on that van
You got it! Stay tuned!
No you not having problems! You are my hero! *sheerse from Sweden! 🇸🇪
There's a lot of Volvos here!
Car #8.....the Jag? 😅
Hope you and the lovely lady are doing good buddy. I'm sure it's way down on the list but would love to see you working on a 940. What year is it?
Look after yourselves dude 🤘
The black 940 is a 93. If I can find a decent turbo motor I would love to stuff it in there!
I'd like to see a will it run on the Vanagon!
Seems like I have some work to do!
Hi Dean, another great video. Do a will it run on the VW.
Hi again! Welcome back! I will dig into it a little!
Re: the Vanagon, sure, go for it.
Thanks John!
Dean the super collector. Great job!
Im trying to clean up an rehome if possible, cant afford to collect!
You have a great collection Dean and company!
Hey Dean,do you have any that you took the engine out of. I have a 230Ft engine...need something to put it in...
I have nothing without an engine but can get you whatever you might like. Shoot me an email.
There's a UA-camr called Mustie1 up your way who might be interested in your van, if you decide you have enough on your plate....
I have followed Mustie1 for nearly a decade! He’s up in New England. The van has been forsale for a couple weeks
In sweden this is a wow find❤
It’s a wow find even here in America!
Hey man. Spare same for us others. Not worth it to have industrial sized carlot at family home 😂. Sell the far gone projects and flip. As u buy u sell. Love the
Thats one way to put it!
piroska ( piroshka) redlike , red, little red as in female , yes in hungarian , is ann from hungary ?
Not originally! But she is well travelled having spent many years in Glasgow, Nairobi and finally to the USA! She needs an video all to herself.
Do a will it run on that bus. Do you really need to ask, your not affiliated to Nike but i think you know what I'm gonna say:- just do it!
Primarily this is a Volvo channel so the algorithm might not push it. Guess we shall see!!
Not the front lip😳😥 Every time🤦
Nailed it!
100% for will it run on the brown van
I think we know what we need to do!
Please don’t pull vehicles using the tow ball. It’s extremely dangerous
You are absolutely right! We since have purchased a receiver recovery point.
@@DeanofMachines glad to hear it! I would hate to see anyone get hurt by a flying ball hitch. Love the videos!
@@matthewdietz6344 Thank you for stopping by and showing some love!
Yes do a will it run
Will do!!!
Yes! Definitely yes!
Yes to the addiction or to the VW will it run?
Its only an addiction if its a problem. I see no problem with saving old volvos. Lol So yes to the Vanagon content!@@DeanofMachines
@@redbeardedpanda Thank you kind sir! I will continue as planned!!
Voting for a will it run!
Yessir! I will dig into it!!
Wow
Definitely run the VW
I like the way you think!
I wanna see that old Vanagon Chooch to life.
You and me both my friend!!
A 2 doors❤
Exciting isnt it?
This is America so ALL of these cars are almost certainly automatic transmission which is a shame. Potentially nice cars IF they were manual transmission BUT they're not.
Some were manual! Most of the 240s were auto though :(
@@DeanofMachines I don't understand America's love of automatic transmission. Totally different here in the UK where vastly most cars are manual.
@@ANationalAcrobat-qj2dl we are very lazy.
@@DeanofMachines When I first learned to drive (at age 11 on my grandfather's farm) I remember my father telling me "It's all about your clutch control - once you have got the hang of the clutch then all the rest is a doddle". People in automatics say they enjoy driving but I can't see how that can be true as clutch control & changing gear manually IS driving. Automatic is a step towards a driverless car, is it not?
@@ANationalAcrobat-qj2dl you aren’t wrong. It depends on the individual. If you live in a major metropolitan area, it makes a lot of sense to have an automatic. Sitting in a manual commuter car for over an hour in traffic gets old quickly
😀
Exactly
😎👍
Not bad right?
@@DeanofMachines 👍👍👍
I think every car in that place had issues.. Sorry but look like you will need to search for some better ones.
There are a lot of good parts!
PORAŻKA
Long LIVE!!!
