I recently purchased a nice rustfree year 1992 Volvo 960 wagon. Have driven my other 940 sedan of the same year model for about 11 years. Still runs very well.
I loved 1994 940 Turbo so much. Supremely comfortable and very robust engineering. My Mom had a 1995 940, which was also an excellent car for many years. I previously had a 1985 240 and she a 1989 740 Turbo. Missing these old RWD tank Volvos so much!
It does have a unique rear axle design, where there is a subframe with two torque rods, one above the axle and one below. Pretty much all other solid rear axle cars have the torque rods mounted above the rear axle, like a Volvo 240 or a Crown vic.
@@GamezGames19 Yep, those darn torque rods. This summer I replaced most of the rear suspension bushings on my 740. The only 2 I couldn't get at were the 2 on the upper torque rod. Darn! lol
I have a 1996 Volvo 940 LPT estate with B230FK Engine. On 207,000 miles and runs very well. Used as my workhorse. Had the Volvo 5 years, cost me £250. Prior drove a 240GLT auto estate for 10 years, 8 as a daily/sole car. Bought for £350 and sold 10 years later in 2018 for £500. Added 76,000 miles, sold at 233,000 miles. Drove great. Like the older RWD Volvo's. James.
My favorite cars of all time. Twelve year old me really wanted my parents to buy one, but $24,000 just for the entry-level model was a lot of money back then. A Volvo wagon was always my mother's aspirational car, and we looked at one when she got a significant promotion at work. She had an immediate and visceral reaction as soon as she sat in it; she said it just felt wrong. So we left. Then a Saab 900 caught her eye. There was a lot of hemming and hawing about the Saab because my parents were loyal Datsun/Nissan customers - at the time Dad had a 1984 Nissan Stanza 2 door hatch and mom had a 1988 Nissan Stanza Wagon. They did end up trading the Stanza Wagon for the 900. Big mistake as the 900 was a lemon and they went right back to Nissan with a 1st gen Altima then a Pathfinder (Dad had moved to a string of Mazda 626s by then). Now they both drive Subarus (Impreza and Forester) because of course they do.
The last new Volvo with an inline six engine before this was the 164 (B30F engine, essentially the B20F four with two more cylinders), which was replaced by the 264 GL for 1975 in the UK and Europe (1976 in the US and Canada) that had the PRV (Peugeot-Renault-Volvo) B27F 2.7L V6 engine (enlarged to 2.8L, becoming the B28F, for 1980).
el modelo 960 fue el último y el máximo de esta versión de volvo el que trasformaron en front wheel o motores de tracción delantera en español un gran coche
8:31 I thought all 960's, S/V90's had the fiberglass monoleaf rear suspension. I'm surprised to hear mention of coil springs in rear (apparently distinct for sedans vs wagons). Did Volvo change the rear suspension design through production years?
@@timmorodgers4271 not all. I have a 1991 volvo 744 "face lift" and I have the original Volvo 740 80s interior but ye some models have like the volvo 740 gle/glt they can also come with the b230fb engine vx3 cam and 531 head. 135 hp. And volvo 740 1990 to 1992 ain't called Volvo 740 mk II just volvo 740 1990 or face-lift The volvo 740 Turbo has the 940 front end like the headlights grill etc but only the newer ones.
Thanks for uploading this. I loved my 940 ❤
My 1997 Volvo is still going strong after 22 years...💪😀👌🔝✅
Mine too
And mine
And mine 850 wagon too)
Yeah so is my 1992 Volvo 960 with 174,000 kms on it.
@@johnveroutsos Damn, barely gotten over the break-in time:o
Is it a sunday grocery getter?
literally one of the best/practical cars ever made
My volvo 940 1998..still like a new at 2024...I always use it for a long distance travel..❤

Its 2020 and I'm getting one of the 940 wagons as my first volvo ever
I soooo wanted a 1994 960 Wagon when I graduated High School ;-) I was weird.
Just bought a 95' 940 wagon with 180k miles
It looks new still super excited 🙏🏻
You still have it ?
by god that first song goes so hard
I think that's nightshift by the commodores
If could turn back, I would definitely buy one and have it forever 😍😍😍
My 1997 940 Turbo wagon with 500000km approves this message.
"Constant track rear suspension" AKA solid rear axle. I've just bought a 940 wagon, 286k on the clock and still in superb condition. Great cars.
just keep an extra fuel pump relay in the glovebox
@@DanKirchner5150 Funny you should say that, when I picked it up it wouldn't start! A wiggle of the fuel pump relay and all was well.
@@timmorodgers4271 very common problem these relays burn out often ,drilling a hole in the case of the relay works too

Y love Volvo wagon 🤗 series 700 and 900 "Volvo" for ever
I remember my mum had a 1996 940 Estate automatic with the 2.4-litre turbo-diesel engine.
That's my dream car. I have the same but with the 2.3l turbo gasoline engine.
Olli Lehtonen They only difference is they understeer more and are slower.
Aaa the best engine that is lol
I don't think we got those here in America
I own a 1995 940 non turbo she’s got 442k miles on it. I’m pushing to half a million :)
She will make it and then many more.
My 1992 740 wagon has 493K miles and still going strong!!!
Супер машина !!!

Love the integrated child booster seat at 2:43. Wonder if that would fly if you got pulled over these days.
It is still considered legal
I bought I used x police volvo t5 at 124000 miles I had it serviced regularly I sold it at 180,000 miles no problem it was smooth and fast
I love my 1991 Volvo 945 Wagon. Still going strong daily with over 368k km.
City Park in Denver, Colorado ! What upppp
-89 740 D24TIC still going
You're livin' the dream.

Volvo should provide a kit to power B230 engines w Hydrogen for the future
1:39 Now I know why the dampers from my 940 are done :D
does anybody know the music for the 960 that starts at 6:48? It's stuck in my head!!!!!!!!
darude - sandstorm waltz
It's in the description. The song is: Clarinet Quintet In A Major K581, Second Movement
8:31 I thought all 960's, S/V90's had the fiberglass monoleaf rear suspension. I'm surprised to hear mention of coil springs in rear (apparently distinct for sedans vs wagons). Did Volvo change the rear suspension design through production years?
Maybe for the American market? My 1996 960 estate has the monoleaf rear spring
Did he say "innovative rear axle design"?))
The front facia is of the Volvo 740 mark II, probably the 1st 940 batch
there is no "volvo 740 MK II"
Alex Strömberg it’s the 740is 90-92 front and it’s called 740 II
@@johanmattsson6572 it is not called mk II, they are called 90-92 Volvo 740. Nothing else.
The "facelift" Volvo 740 used the internal structure from the 940. It's weird to see a 940 with a 740 front end.
@@timmorodgers4271 not all. I have a 1991 volvo 744 "face lift" and I have the original Volvo 740 80s interior but ye some models have like the volvo 740 gle/glt they can also come with the b230fb engine vx3 cam and 531 head. 135 hp.
And volvo 740 1990 to 1992 ain't called Volvo 740 mk II just volvo 740 1990 or face-lift
The volvo 740 Turbo has the 940 front end like the headlights grill etc but only the newer ones.
Great car. As a complement to a Miata...
Why does that sedan has a other front than the Wagon?
