(pic heavy) So you think old Volvos are ugly....


they are

It looks really uncomfortable.

I think that 240 is on StanceWorks, meaning the drop would be from cut springs or low drop, low quality coilovers. Looks are everything over there :/

[StylinRed]

thought this was going to be a 'before & after' thread... kept waiting for the After

[RevYouUp]

its still pretty ugly...only thing decent looking is the stance

[GabAlmighty]

Ya that thing's nice. That guy is only Turbobricks. If I remember correctly those are really high offset rims, 10" wide or something but they were originally going to go on an 850.

And that Amazon was built by the same guy who designed the Koenigss....

i dont know how people dont find the boxy volvos nice, i find them very unique and beutiful in there own way.

Errr.. No. It's called preference. People that "appreciate all cars" appreciate none because they don't even know what they want.

[donjalapeno]

It doesnt have to do anything with WANTING the car, its appreciating the design and engineering that went into it especially when its a classic car. I wouldnt buy a (for example) ford mustang 5.0L but i still find the new ones pretty nice, I dont WANT the new Kia Optima but i appreciate the design and engineering that went into producing the car to make it look and feel more appealing to buyers. I wouldnt BUY a Sentra but i like how they used the CVT and how roomy the back seats are. I could go on all day.

Volvo's are nice.

Go back to 96 the Volvo 850 wagon R, this thing was so good it was in touring car championship and it did pretty well as a WAGON!

http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/850R.jpg

Fast forward a couple years when they launched the s60 it was sleek the age for volvo's with aerodynamic body, the v70 looked great too and it still retain the boxy rear end for the cargo.


Then look inside the volvo's dash the s40 to be exact. Floating dash nothing behind the hvac controls. No cars has these

Looking now the just brought out the xc60 R, with the special red paint and dual tone leather it looks FANTASTIC!

Volvos are nice but not when they are modded to the point that it looks like it has busted suspension and tires too small for the rims. Just as you can appreciate a civic, but not the mod job when it's riced out.

I like volvos but not the ruined ones in the OP.

I thought we were talking about the steering wheel? The wheels are indeed widened steelies. Like I said earlier, they were originally meant for an 850 (high offset) so he is running spacers on his car.

my jeep was basically a winter beater. the volvo was too good of a price to pass up before so i bought it basically as another run around car.

now i've sold both my jeep and my volvo.

love this wagon, except for the air ducts in place of the headlights.

the only downfall of my soon to be 90' is the upgraded headlights. personally i much more prefer the old style headlights and foglights on my 87'. maybe i'll have to do a conversion...

Ya I agree. I've seen a few on CL and they sound/look like they've seen better days. Either way, you can make a T5 into a T5r relatively easy motor wise. The car I posted I just know was built well that's all. And I believe is pushing close to 300..

yup it has seatbelts to the side of it if you look at the pic. it is fully legal. I remmeber riding around in parents of friends car's like this when i was a kid.

personally nobody under the height of 5' 5" is going to be comfortable. I have shoved one of my shorter friends in the back of my old one so that he could just wave at random people. haha
