No complex electronics prevent use as a normal diesel car. You need to activate the SVO system to use; otherwise, it's just a normal Volvo diesel running on diesel! 1983 Volvo 244 DL (240 sedan) DIESEL, standard transmission with 5 speed overdrive; Unique. White with tan/brown leather interior. Runs well. 35+ mpg. Transmission has typical button on shifter for switching between 4th and 5th gear/overdrive (in typical elderly Volvo fashion, it even works occasionally, probably needs removal and cleaning of accumulated thickened oils); Custom SVO conversion includes 5 independent coolant and electric sources of veg oil heating from tank to injectors. We have owned the car for 10 years, with 8 years' experience successfully running dual fuels on this car's system. All straight vegetable oil (SVO) conversion controls are in-dash, and system needed no maintenance in over a decade except for one metal fuel line we replaced recently. All accessory parts were American-sourced if possible (Ward 1/8" black metal pips, for example). Sunroof: manual crank style doesn't leak except in high powered car washes. Recent glow plugs and replaced some heated conversion metal fuel lines' heaters' wrapping. OEM factory standard diesel engine block heater. Tire tread is good. Typically corroded Volvo aluminum alloy wheels with full size matching spare tire. Custom trim-matched light brown fabric dash cover covers the usual dash crack(s). OEM Volvo brand front and rear winter floor mats (well worn on driver's side only; others excellent). Manual factory sunroof with spare crank mechanism and handle. Class 2 small size square receiver trailer hitch with safety pin and conventional 4-wire flat towing wiring connector in trunk. Currently servicing diesel fuel injection pump back to specs after storage for 2-3 winters and summers caused it's failure. Virtually zero rust on the entire car: only expected surface corrosion exists where bare metal exposed (road nicks, scratches, etc). The most solid Volvo diesel car body we've owned after more than a half-dozen Volvo diesels owned by our organization! Car was sold to us in 2005 by an Oregon ski instructor where no salt was used on winter roads in his area. Over $1,000 in custom specialized SVO conversion parts installed in car itself including: --- Pollock fuel selector valve for in-cab switching between main heated veg and start-up diesel tanks; coolant heated OEM customized fuel tank with all fuel and coolant connections exclusively through fuel tank's normal top (tank itself wasn't cut into as is in most other heated fuel tank conversions so it's stock replaceable as needed useful in rust-prone winter salt areas); --- Dual coolant/electric heated Davco fuel filter with clear/viewable fuel level/quality using easily replaceable 10 micron filters available at trucking supply shops; includes proprietary fuel filter wrench; --- Tank-to-engine coolant-heated fuel line within the hot outbound coolant line for best heating veg oil when in use from main OEM tank; --- VegTherm Mega 30 watt inline electric fuel line heater (dash switched) just prior to fuel entering OEM Bosch diesel fuel injection lift pump (injection pump also recently serviced); --- Electric fuel line heaters (dash switched) along metal fuel distribution rails from Bosch pump to actual fuel injectors (6 cylinder standard Volvo D24 diesel engine designed by VW) useful for additional fuel line heat and/or liquifying solidified fuel after cool-down/overnight; --- 2 1/2 gallon "startup" diesel fuel tank under hood suitable for several dozen startups/cool-downs when driving on SVO/UCO in main OEM custom heated tank (5-10 minutes for coolant to assist warming the electric fuel heaters and flushing SVO prior to cool-down: manual electronic dash switched, not automated); --- Total fuel capacity 37 gallons; estimated diesel cruising range of about 1,500 miles without refueling makes for excellent regional trips using single-source high quality UCO as I did; --- Car designed to accommodate additional vegetable oil tank to be installed in trunk (we did this originally but removed it for needed trunk space (also see possible rear seat replacement heated fuel tank available in our parts section below as an alternative to using trunk space for this useful tank); --- Car has holes drilled for mounting both trailer hitch behind for towing and hardware for being towed from the front, such as behind an RV or by tow bar from another vehicle; trips in this way towed easily with excellent stability; rear includes 4 standard flat 4-connector tow lighting; lower plastic front spoilers cut for these attachments as well; RF lower spoiler cut a little poorly cosmetically. --- Sedan body spent 1982-2005 in Oregon and almost zero rust; very solid frame and body with no major dents other than some paint/bumper scuffs/dings on trunk/doors; --- Car has holes drilled for mounting both trailer hitch behind for towing and hardware for being trailered from the front, such as by tow bar behind an RV or other vehicle; lower plastic front spoilers cut for these front attachments as well; cross-country trips in this way towed easily with excellent stability; rear includes 4 standard flat 4-connector tow lighting; additional 12-volt accessory wired to trunk for future fuel transfer pump for potential additional fuel tank to be located there. --- Sedan designed for 110-volt power inverter under passenger's seat, and second automotive battery behind it (inverter previously installed, now removed, but all wiring remains for easy re-installation of either/both).

Volvo : 240 240 1987 240 volvo must see this swedish beauty 5 speed manual
$8,850
Houston, Texas
1987 240 Volvo 5 speed one of a kind Swedish beauty ! The paint is green it shines in the sun. The interior is a tan cloth with very little wear. the Volvo has never been smoked in and smells clean. The car has carpet and plastic Volvo floor mats. The inside trim ( arm rest, window cranks, and door pockets etc...) have been replaced with black to make it two tone. I replaced the steering wheel with a Momo leather wheel and a custom Volvo R center horn button. The gauges have been replaced with a white face kit , I also added a clock and volt meter. the radio is a pioneer with 4 Memphis audio 4 inch speakers. I have replaced almost everything in this car.air mass meter, fuel system & ignition computers, ignition coil, rear tail lights , front lights and turn signals , I also have a extra wiring harness that still has the Volvo tags on it. these extra parts have a value of over $1500.00 bucks. wiring harness alone is a grand if you can find one.. over $5,000.00 in upgrades in this car alone. not counting the extra touches I have done over the years of ownership. I in no way intend to give the car away for a low price. I simply am putting the car out there to see if someone can see the passion I have for Volvos and can see the value that this car brings and can enjoy it take care of it and have as much pride in it as I do. I don't drive it and would rather it see used than just sit in my warehouse. Thanks for checking out my old brick.. 27 year Volvo enthusiast. My daily driver is a Volvo 2007 S60 R with about 400 horsepower. that's why the 240 don't get driven that much only to shows and Volvo events... thanks again. i-Roll..
