Its absolutely insane how these bulky, heavy af, long wheel base iron beasts handle corners with only rwd. As a swede i know exactly how fun old volvos are on gravel roads
Incredible race...by no means will I be tempted to drive my 1989 244 Volvo as demonstrated in your video...I only cruise on CA Highway 49, in the Motherlode counties, lots of curves.😂
This has brought a smile to my face and a song in my old ticker . . nothing compares to these worthy work horses, with increased horses under the bonnet, terrorizing the ducks, geese, and farm animals various throughput Sweden and Finland . . I am in Australia and once owned a 2 series tractor . . it was a beast and I miss it muchly. Thank you for this compilation, it is excellent.
@@vector3998 You either get easy to work on, no computer aids, built like a tank old cars. Or you get modern driver aids, more efficient design, more computers to work on and troubleshoot. Or take the drivetrain out of a new car and slap it in an old car, Bam best of both worlds.
The Group A 240s used Öhlins Coils iirc, still possible to buy today. When i get enough money to rebuild my 242 that is one of the first things im gonna get. Even if the current ones are only 130.000Km's old they are still from 1984 :D
I got into two collisions with my Volvo 240 as a kid and completely trashed the other two cars.. My Volvo? Not a scratch the first time (Rubber bumper lol), a tiny dent in the front corner the second. I really wish I had the money to keep it running. I promised myself to buy another when I could.
Many of those videos are from sweden and finding Volvo parts is like finding food In a grocery store... Take it from a volvo enthusiast from sweden. Me myself own 3 old volvos 2 Volvo 940is to daily and have fun in the roundabouts and 1 Volvo 740 that I use in the forest to drive rally the 740 havent broken down yet I have just fixed some pipes for the power steering, some electric things, brake parts and that's it. I bought it for 600 usd 6000 swedish crowns almost 4 years ago
Old volvos are just pure unhinged madness.
Swedish machines roaring like lions 🦁🦁🦁 of African 🌍 jungles.

redblocks do sound pretty great when they are tuned correctly
Uncle JOE check Hoekstra motorsport on youtube💪🏻

This 140 was sending it !
The 240s behaves really well imo

When you turn grandmas car into a race car. "I'll be right back grandma!"
RESPECT VOLVO 240!!!
the facepalm at the beginning LOL
10:25 wow that guy was going flat out
When the Volvo was the tank of cars...
My dream car has always been a 240
they are BEASTS ecepcily the 16v redblock they run circles around hemis
driving away from a collision like nothing happend, take any modern car and it’ll leave a huge dent or even damage the car so bad it wont even drive
Sprsae I swear !
modern cars also happen to be more efficient and faster... you win some you lose some i guess

madscientist 666 kind of
It’s a Volvo though…..
Sounds of Heaven
6:50 "Wohhh... der hat richtig Druck auf der Leitung" xD xD
these cars are so stable
Long wheelbase
safest racing cars ever
It’s great to see my boss ( Thom de Jong ) with his 240 Turbo , 51-ST-TL
We have cool volvos like that here? I want to see
Großartig, danke für das Volvo-Video :-)
I miss my 240. Had over 300k miles on it but would still drift around and allow for some fun. Eventually the wiring went bad. Fantastic cars
3:00. mmmmmmmmmmm that lovely sound
I had a turbo one of these before old wiring took her
So beautiful cars, thanks
The white 240 with blue stripes, HOLY FUCK!
I can look at this all night long!🤩
Super durability
3:00 best
Go for a drive in the Volvo ,have a crash, it's perfectly safe "hale n pace" 😂🇬🇧👍
Gott, soviel Potential 😩 wenn jemand einen Hersteller kennt, der ne gute Abgasanlage für den V50 2.4i im Programm hat: immer her damit!
That 142...
4:16 => another one bites the dust lol
Literally how every one of my Volvos was driven….barring the D5
I'm amazed at how good the suspension setup is on many of those 240s. Would be interesting to know what suspension they're using and how its set up.

fastest bricks I ever saw
Is that 242 at 1:30 still running the 4 cyl?
Turbo! turbo really muffle the sound
wieder mal klasse aufnahmen ;)
That 142 sounds so fuckin nasty
Id rather have my own ‘83 242 than any super car.
Wonderful car
i like volvos. very comfy car
The best swedish car ever
best cars, best rally cars, volvos so underrated and so underpriced
3:30 , 3:38
Impressive....
Me throttling like a defenceless 1.39 no.11th
Nice Volvos Man. Thanks.
Euhmmmmm ☝️.....
Whaaaaaat?!
I guess christmas and eastern is on the same day now 🤣🤣🤣
jadi seneng volvo, tenaga dan stabilitasnya seimbang.
The 240 and 140 cars looks awesome, and handels great 👍 940 seems to big and heavy.
3:02 love the sound on that one. Anybody know what was under the hood on that one?
It’s the 2.3 5 cyl white block. No other sound like it
Volvo les meilleures ma voiture de rêve la 240 turbo
9:25 Swiss Takumi
dat nigga danish
I get it, it's because he used the gutter run technique!😮😂
Auffällig viele Volvo´s mit rotem GT-Kennzeichen. ;)
Bring out the 123 GT’s!!!
5:52 die keal thom de Jong komt gwn het vaakst voor johh. En het gave is ik heb ook in die auto gezeten ik ken ze heel goed 🤣🤣🤣

where is this? do you have a website?
these clips are from different german rallies, but unfortunately many of these cars aren't allowed anymore as the group H got forbidden.
McRallye why did it get forbidden?
why would you risk to damage any of these beautiful volvos

That are some angry sounding volvo's
حبي الشديد لسيارة فالفو
Volvo V50 jag har
Cuando ven llegar a un volvo, los hummers se apartan...
Lot of 240's
Man that’s a badass weed whacked 😂
😮😮😮😮❤
"Best of Volvo", forgets to add the V8 cars
Nope, if you put a v8 into a Volvo you just ruined the whole car. It isn't a Volvo anymore..
SWeMX Right
Everyone has an opinion bruh
Volvo saying , Subaru, Mitsubishi evo, Audi Quattro, Lancia Delta, bitch please its not tht hard
The female "driver" smacks her head...hmm...but why is your car there???
its not a volvo sound just because the chassi's volvo made
Its still original B230 and B20 engines although heavily tuned.
1
Poa
There is no such thing as best of volvo they're terrible. And this is coming from a swedish person.
What makes them terrible?
I'm not Swedish, but I love volvo
Me and my 740 both think you’re dumb
Now I miss my B23E
i have one in my driveway next to my garage
