Volvo 765 Turbo USA spec B230FT — 1989

• Mechanical condition

  In the US, the Volvo 765 was at this time equipped with the legendary B230FT 2.3-liter turbo engine with 8 valves, an engine considered extremely durable. This one started easily and ran nicely. Test driven at a calm pace in city traffic. Steering, automatic gearbox with kickdown and overdrive, as well as brakes worked well. One brake light and one turn signal failed during the test drive, but this turned out to be a loose connection. A once-over is recommended.
  
  Not checked on a lift, but photos taken earlier are available. Both these and the ones now taken of the underside, along with history from California and rustproofing, show a largely rust-free car.
  
  The heater core has started to leak and has therefore been temporarily bypassed.

• Interior condition

  While in California, it was subject to a break-in in which the front seats were damaged, but they were reupholstered through the insurance company. Otherwise, the interior is in fine and well-preserved original condition for its age and mileage. Many boxes checked on the period options list, with central locking, power seats, power windows, power antenna, power mirrors, power sunroof, working ECC, and the original radio with equalizer - all in working order. Cruise control with uncertain function. Equipped with an extra seat in the cargo area.

• Exterior condition

  Appears to be largely original paint in good condition. There is normal wear consistent with age and mileage, including minor scratches, stone chips, a small dent, and paint scuffs. The California sun has faded spots on the roof, sunroof, and hood.

• General condition

  After years of hectic family life and hard work in commercial service, the ranks of these faithful servants are now rapidly dwindling. A new era as a classic begins for those that have been cared for and survived. A US-market car with its specific equipment is a "rare bird" here, which makes it an interesting classic and an exotic collector vehicle. Fine and driver-friendly condition in need of some attention to details. Drive it as is or refine it further.

General information about the condition of the vehicles .

• At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
• During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
