The car was in incredible condition, no rust, no dents, no scratches- amazing Volvo quality!!
Couldn't agree more!
Volvo used a very grade of paint and clear coat. My 1990 shines up like new and it lives outdoors 24/7 and is now in its 34th winter.
My dad bought a 1989 Volvo 240DL back in 1990 and when I washed it, it always looked great even into the late 90’s. Our 1995 850GLE and 2005 XC70 also looked great. Currently I owe a 2013 S60 T6 R-Design in rare Rebel Blue paint. It has just 55K Km and looks incredible after a decade!
little bit of rust on the front fenders but indeed, amazing condition!
@@RajSharma-uv4nx I have a 1984 340DL and when I got it 8 years ago, the paint was heavily oxidized. A few hours with some T-cut and the paint is like new. The paint has the odd blemish due to bird droppings being allowed to be left on the paint work in the past.
It never ceases to amaze me that so many careful car owners in the US, who had vehicles with no parking bumps, scratches or any signs of rust, decided in the 1990s to abandon them in the knowledge that they would be discovered by CZcamsrs in the early 2020s. Remarkable.
You are not making any sense. CZcams never existed before 2005.
@@zenmashofficial Evidently the sarcasm went whoosing over your head. The majority of these "barn finds" are transparently fake. Geddit?
@@zenmashofficial
yeah, Volvo doesn't rust ;)
*this video was very well staged.
a 740 was my first car some 20+ years ago. Since then I added an 850, 940 and a S60. Never sold one, though I also never got around to get a wagon. They are insanely well built and nice to work on. The redblock engines are legends in their own right. I am totally with Mike on this one and quite frankly surprised no other team member shared his level of appreciation for this amazing car. I hope he still drives it!
My 90 740 took 2 95 mph hits and is still standing the yko that t boned it 3 yrs ago was totaled up to the windshield and rolled down the hill with what was left of their yukon xl and witness said they pushed it into a 12 foot fence
As a proud owner of a mint condition 1988 Volvo 740 GLE wagon, I was thrilled to find another video about a beloved car like my own. These cars are getting sparce! I am very happy to see this one be saved. Great work.
Hi Mate, I'm guessing you've seen this vid, but just in case you haven't, its about the legendary Volvo Engine and Volvo's attitude to engineering enjoy czcams.com/video/rzss5Z-ozz0/video.html
That's awesome!
Великолепная работа 👍, согласен на 💯%
Another pill dealer car😅
And to think it was scheduled for the crusher. This vehicle has so many years of life left in it. Well done guys, keep saving cars from the crusher.
I was thinking the exact same thing. It's pretty much pristine and someone having left it to get crushed is so unbelievably cruel!
That car is pristine, like no rust, dents, scratches, interior is flawless. That car used to be someone’s pride and joy and was well maintained before it was abandoned. Like no way a car that age stays in such good shape that it can clean up that well!
Volvo is the only brand in the world that has had multiple owners/cars turn the clock to zero. A million km (or miles). Yes, maintenance is key, but the way it was built adds to the possibility of it happening in the first place.
I don't do very much maintenance on my Volvo, but I managed to get it to over 400k already. The chassis is very very sturdy. I do hope to find a 740 or 440 one day (for a reasonable price) for myself.
@@patrickd9551 That simply isn't true, a decent amount of brands have had multiple cars reach 1 million miles, Mercedes, Ford, Toyota, and Chevy all have at least two known and 100% confirmed cars with 1 million miles or more, and likely many more that aren't publicly known, sure it might be more common for Volvos to make it that far but they certainly arent the only cars in the world that do
@@nordvestgaming1238 When I mean multiple, I just don't mean two or more. I mean many multiple, dozens, hundreds.
There is probably some soviet car out there that managed to reach 1 million km, that doesn't make soviet cars reliable at all.
Because if you read back, I make a reference on increasing the odds of doing so thanks to it's construction. If you built your car properly, it's easier to maintain and drive up such distances. Yes there are Fords and Chevvies out there, but it requires a great more investment and dedication from their owners to keep up as their construction if just weaker. Go to Cuba for that matter if you want resolve.
But there is only one brand that has done so consistently with many models over the years, which is Volvo. That was my entire point, so sorry for not using more english words to point out the obvious.
@@patrickd9551 There are only 10 100% confirmed and publicly known million mile plus Volvos in the world that I can find, and yes Im sure there are many many more that just arent widely known, but the same exact thing can be said about classic Mercedes which are also known for their tank like build quality and bullet proof reliability, hence why they are very common to find being used as taxis and the like in many Middle Eastern, African and Eastern European countries even to this day.
I also already agreed that yes Volvos arguably are more likely to reach that number than any other brand so I'm not discrediting Volvo in any way, they are extremely well built and reliable cars, especially the old ones, I mean shoot I have seen many videos of Volvos that were abandoned for years starting right up with just some fresh gas and a new battery, insanely impressive stuff, but what you claimed was just verifiably wrong
And no its not obvious that you meant dozens or hundreds of cars by just saying multiple, it is very reasonable to assume by multiple you meant more than one since that is the literal definition of multiple. People can't read minds, if you mean dozens or hundreds then just say dozens or hundreds instead of just saying multiple.
I had a 1992 740. Absolute horror story. Left rear shock fell of on the way home from the dealer. Gouged a trail all the way home. Fuel pumps failing on the highway. Wiring harness went. Shifter detention pin broke , had to drive to dealer with thumb jammed down in it. Leaked like a sieve. Windshield cracked from body stress three times. steering column had issues. Drivers seat had to be replaced. Windshield wiper arm flew off in a snowstorm. Just wouldn't start several times, had to leave my family at a bowling alley and walk home in a snowstorm to get a reliable car. That's was all in six months. Dealer was a v complete shit show. Took a big loss and traded it in for an 1992 Acura Integra GS, one of the most reliable cars I've ever owned. Never again would I touch a Volvo.
I reckon that Mike is the real gem in this video. I have never seen anyone so dedicated to a detailing job. Fabulous car and new owner!
Y’all are some True-Blue Friends, and i’m extremely impressed and proud of what you did for Mike, because that shows that you all have a good heart and you honestly care about friends
and your Attention To Detail skills are extremely amazing and it shows in your work and dedication to making vehicles look like they just came from the factory
I'm a Volvo guy but I cannot believe you found this car in Ohio save it from the crusher and it turned out to be an amazing shape and what a great job of detailing. Mike you got a gem.
I am to I have a 2000 s70
Yeah, imagine waiting to die then being saved by someone
@@josephwatson2711 Im swedish and love to see this as Volvo came from here.
Yeah, I'm not buying ANY of this. It's somebody's nice ride that they threw a bag of fullers earth over it while wet.
@@an8nymous791 yes it's all original has 105 thousand miles on it everything still works in it
Mike's face when you guys gave him the car. Man, that's priceless friendship, Guys!
Had a ‘93 940 wagon that I intended to drive until I died. Had to really plan merging with a 4 cylinder engine moving a 4,000 lb. car! It was totaled by a grandma trying to pass between me and a telephone pole on Rt 9 outside Avalon, NJ after I had put ~$2,700 into new shocks, struts and tires. Insurance gave me $3,300 for it. I still miss it more than 20 years later.
You guys are so kind. Y’all could definitely be role models for the youth of today. I’m proud of what you do!
I'm loving Mike! He's such a passionate car lover, it's so obvious😄 A really nice addition to your team!!!
That makes us so happy!
And to think this one was almost crushed...glad you saved it guys and gave it to Mike! Also glad that you're a part of the team Mike!
When Mike gets tired of driving this, he can send it to me....
I love to own a right hand drive ae86 twincam the car of my deams
Super job on the Volvo guys, you never cease to amaze me with your work ethics, I am a super fan, 73 year old ex master technician 50 years exp. keep em coming💯💯
Taking care of your own... employees, is everything. Well done! It was beautiful to behold, thank you.
Probably one of the best videos from y'all that we have seen yet! Spreading kindness is amazing and contagious! Keep representing CLE with your amazing light!!
Thank you! We will!
Ahh CLE I saw the Ohio plates. Akron Volvo nutcase here showing props! Good content
Good people do good, make a difference in this world!! Congratulations to the WD team, congratulations to the new member, may the team grow and bring great satisfaction to customers and especially those who love classics!! Hugs to everyone from Brazil!!
Thank you Reinaldo!
And to think that car was going to be crushed. Sadly in this world many things end up being disposed of when they could be saved.
Aww man that's great giving the car to the guy, just great.
Rare 16 valve engine aswell, my family owns 7 Volvo's and they are super reliable and massively fun, those 16 valve engines are pretty strong and can handle a lot of abuse before you need to do something with it, great find and happy it was saved instead of being crushed ^^
The Volvo is a special car from that era. Love the wheels too and the Mike give away was heartwarming! Nice job fellas !
must say, Mike got gifted with a car that still has plenty of life. Awesome WD team
To answer the question you guys asked, I have a few cars that I would literally do anything for. One of them would have to be the very first suv I bought off craigslist. I had my friends drive me over two hours out to the middle of nowhere in Massachusetts to meet with this guy who is selling it for his daughter. It had over 200k miles but was only a two owner suv, and to top it all off most of its life had been spent in California and most of the miles were highway (when the daughter would drive from school in Cali to Mass to be with her family). It was a 2001 Mitsubishi Montero sport in gold/tan/beige... I had sticker-bombed the "spoiler" it came with aaand I also had a skeleton passenger named Geoff... He would be very useful during the crazy Mass snow storms. Whenever I would use Geoff as a spot saver NO ONE would steal my spot. That Mitsubishi has so so so so so many good memories associated with it... But it was unfortunately totaled out by insurance after a hit and run, my car was parked and a brand new hybrid Lexus sedan backed up into and along my passenger side... Causing only cosmetic damage. Insurance paid me $1,700 after I was able to prove it was their client using my dashcam... And when I couldn't legally drive her (I named the Mitsubishi after an event... She was named Misty) due to the title being flagged I donated it to kars 4 kids. About seven months later I was at a junkyard with some friends of mine looking for parts for their car when I asked one of the workers there if they might have seen a car come in with a skeleton sitting in the passenger seat. The workers eyes instantly lit up enjoy as he remembered the car and he explained that yes he remembered it and they all loved it, they used it as a yard car for about three months before the engine finally exploded and they gave it an honorable discharge by crushing it. I would literally give my left lung for that car again. I would also consider a smart car, or even a mini countryman...
I drive a 1992 volvo 240 wagon, and I understand the love for this model and body type of volvo. it holds a special place in a lot of peoples hearts
Very cool to see someone appreciate a blast from the past! My dream would be is to find a 1974 Ford Pinto. It’s the first car my grandfather bought when he arrived from Rio de Janeiro Brazil to Corona CA. The other car is a 1974 Ford Fairmont was my dads when we arrived in 1978 from Brazil. I was 5 years old and now I’m almost 50. I’m a hospice nurse so I hear stories of old cars all the time. This is my story. :-) Awww, I would be thrilled to see one again! Good times!
Oh, this car looks amazing after you finished with her, that paint just shines! And the fact that it is so straight is incredible. Can't say that about a lot 33 yr old cars these days, or even the newer ones. You know the old saying-they don't make 'em like they used to. Good job!
We felt the same way! No dents at all!
Hello
This is what God Almighty said in the Holy Qur’an on the authority of Jesus the Prophet, peace be upon him, from Surat Al-Ma’idah from verse 116 to verse 120.
Surat Al Maeda from verse 116 to verse 120
116. And (remember) when Allâh will say (on the Day of Resurrection): "O ‘Îsâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Did you say unto men: ‘Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allâh?’ " He will say: "Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner-self though I do not know what is in Yours; truly, You, only You, are the All-Knower of all that is hidden (and unseen).
117. "Never did I say to them aught except what You (Allâh) did command me to say: ‘Worship Allâh, my Lord and your Lord.’ And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them; and You are a Witness to all things. (This is a great admonition and warning to the Christians of the whole world).
118. "If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily You, only You, are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise"
119. Allâh will say: "This is a Day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise) - they shall abide therein forever. Allâh is pleased with them and they with Him. That is the great success (Paradise).
120. To Allâh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is therein, and He is Able to do all things.
Great truth of God.
So glad I found you guys. The happiness you bring by giving new life to these vehicles is awesome!!!
I'm with Mike. The boxy 90's Volvo wagon is a classic 👍
87 Camaro. It was my first car my mom gave me and she unfortunately passed away in 2020 😢 Always love the transformations you guys do! Thank You! Eddie
It’s crazy how big of a Volvo following there is now, especially the older models, wagons included. Great save and awesome gesture of giving it to someone who really appreciates it. My dream would be to find a 1978 Subaru station wagon because that is the first vehicle I learn to drive with a manual transmission all by myself at age 10 out on a farm.
Especially the wagons ❤
Wagons are a real gap in the car buying assortment these days. Not everyone wants an SUV or even a crossover vehicle. I'd be perfectly happy with a modern station wagon as my family car if someone would make one for under $60K.
@@untexan biggest problem with modern estates is the rear window, its always sloped/at quite an angle which eliminates allot of trunk/boot room
Since I first saw one of these, I got hooked. Fantastic looks. Great body design.
My grandparents had a 1996 Volvo 850 for I think over 15 years....they gave it to me and I was absolutely in love with that car. Sadly living in NYC there was no parking at my job so all I ended up doing was moving it from one side of the street to the other for alt side parking, and eventually had to give it up but not a day goes by when I don't miss that car and desperately wish I still had it 😢
You guys rock! Mike is such a great addition to the team. I know you blew his mind when you told him the Volvo was now his. I look forward to your future adventures together.
Right on!
Wow, what a find! Once upon a time these Volvos were everywhere in North America. Really good wagons in their day along with the sedans. That the 740 was in such good overall condition is a credit to its former owner. Enjoy Mike and yes, it would draw a crowd at a car show even parked next to a high-end sports car.
So much more character than the SUV garbage 'in fashion' today.
This car belongs in a museum. It’s an important piece of history that I doubt is being kept in a museum anywhere
Can't believe they were gonna crush that beauty. Congrat's Mike!
You guys are singlehandedly turning me into a car guy. I just joined a car club at my college and Im getting into detailing now. Gonna get my dad's 2014 Corolla lookin fine!
That’s what we like to hear!
@@yahiaechaab3357 allah isn't real
740s and 940s are getting very rare and super-collectable now, the estates especially. Really glad you saved this one - looks awesome inside and out!
Here in The Netherlands you see the 740 and 940 very regular and they are still running daily !!!
hhahha just go to sweden you can find one running for about 500 to 1500 dollars
Those were the last Volvo series that were build like tanks!

I have a 1991 Volvo 740 Turbo sedan 300,000km. 2nd owner since Dec 18,2011. Her name is Genevieve! Orgainal owners son put $8k into VOLVO IPD racing parts when he was at Mechanics school! It's supper fast! And love driving her! I prefer the Draco Turbo wheels over the 760 wheels.
I stumbled across your video because I have been searching for Volvo 240 wagons and 840 resgons recently on CZcams (going through a mini mid-life crisis where I want a 1980s wagon of some sort) and .... three hours later I am still watching your series of videos.
I saw an Ohio plate on the Volvo and you referenced The MetroParks when you released the mouse in another video, so I looked up your business and was pleasantly surprised to see your business is located just 5 minutes from the house I lived in Parma Heights before I moved to North Carolina.
I went to VF back in the day and they had a great automotive program. I am hoping you guys are local as well.
Best of luck and much future success. Your videos are great!
That car seems like it’s in exceptional condition! Nice job saving it, and blessing your friend.
The motor didn't sound very healthy... It was left there to rot for a reason.
@@kirdot2011 Yes, those 16 valve engines had a bad reputation! Not nearly as durable as the 8 valve Redblocks!
You guys take "kindness" to a new level. Your team is awesome. Love watching every video. Keep up the great work.
I cannot believe the condition this car was in beneath all the dirt and debris! Absolute hidden treasure! Your friend is a lucky guy, I'd love that car too!
As far as a "dream car", that's hard because I've owned a few cars I wish I had back. But as for a car I've never owned but wish I did, aside from all the great classics out there ( always wanted a Beetle), it would be of all things, a Saab 900, convertible especially if I found one. i remember years ago every time I'd visit a friend of mine, there was someone who had a yellow Saab 900 Convertible with black top. I think a good amount of that black top was electrical tape covering leaks, but didn't care. I lusted after that car.
Great video guys! It might need a lot of work for sure, but other than that it’s difficult for me to understand how and why this 740 got abandoned for it to be crushed. Unimaginable!
I know! The scrapyard told us it was going to be crushed soon
Im wondering if there is a crucial discontinued part thats at fault
$$$ They probably had a lot of “disposable” income and people want the new new
@@musikdrengen02 If there is, Mike will soon find out!
@@musikdrengen02 very unlikely, theres tons of new parts for theese on the cheap in sweden.
Wow, I am astonished that you all brought that Volvo back to life it seems like 1990. I was pretty old enough to have owned a 1985 760 Turbo sedan same color when I resided in Monterey California during that time. They were around $25K-$35K back then lots of money during that time. Thank you for sharing guys. My Best, M.L.
First of all I absolutely Love watching your videos they calm me down after a long day. I love nothing more than cleaning and detailing my own cars. So you asked what kind of car I would want and that's an easy one, a 1968 Chevy Nova, it was my first car ever I bought it on my own and cherished it until i joined the Army and when I came back after 9 months of initial training my dad sold my car out from under me, I have never been so mad in my entire life, but it is what it is, Promised myself that one day I would get another one but with time and life happening it never happened but Again I love watching your videos as it takes me back to a simpler time, Thank You
I bought one of these in 2004, it was a '91 model year with 37,000 miles on the odometer. The lady who was selling it was moving to Arizona and needed the extra cash, it was one of the best ever cars that ive owned. A great reliable vehicle.
The 16V cars are becoming more and more rare. Looks pretty good!
WD Detailing ... I may be biased, but I feel this is the finest episode you've made to date! I live in Ottery St Mary, in the county of Devon, England, and own a manual geared, turbo diesel 940 estate. She's aptly named Greta T - being Swedish - and was rescued from her fate, from a driveway for £500, and put back to work moving house last November, without missing a beat. A generous introduction to Mike, who has great taste in cars ... 🤗 ...
I live in Exeter and recently saved a 940 estate 2.3 turbo from a banger racer for 750£ then 8pound on brake pads passed its mot I daily it ever since! Had a few Volvos but this is by far the best I agree Mike has taste
@@lukem9962 ... You landed just perfect with your Volvo - super reliable beasts! Who would've thought you could bump into people on a You Tube thread in the United States, yet live less than 15 miles apart in an entirely different country! See you out on the open road Carbon Cricket ... 🤗 ...
I learned to drive in a 740 wagon. Great job guys.
68 Firebird....was my dads favorite car back in the 70's. I was 10 years old. Miss them both :)
Happy to see that you really took care of your friend! Congratulations Mike! Get some tint on those windows bro!
You also asked about a car that we would want... I had a Dodge Shadow ES that was incredible. It was the most comfortable car I've ever driven. Red with black interior and the turbo bump on the hood. It wasn't the fastest car I've owned but I loved that little car because it was comfortable!
Love your videos guys! Keep them coming!
Love the channel, guys, and I like the changes you made recently. Including more of yourself adds personality to the process and trying to resurrect a non runner is always fun. If I could have any car, I'd take the 260 in a heartbeat. I would be there tomorrow to get it. I'm a long time Z lover and and like to restore it and share it with my sons.
A 1969 cougar. I've always wanted one of those car's.❤
I'm a huge Volvo fan as well and have always dreamed of owning a 780 Bertone Coupe. I had photo clippings of the 780 on my walls when I was a teenager! I'm a Volvo nerd for sure. When I was stationed overseas I got to drive one and am a huge fan of the 780 to this day. Someday I will find my dream 780!
Just finished the video and this turned out to be one of your best detailing jobs to watch. The result is fantastic to say the least. Good job guys!
I just discovered your page and I love it so much. You seem like awesome guys and miracle workers as to how you can give new life to these cars. So great that you gave this car to Mike. The gift of giving is the best!
We’re so glad to have you, James!
❤❤❤❤A very very wonderful and professional work in the car, and I was very happy to give the car to Mike as if I took it, all thanks for the moments of happiness in the movie and at the end... 💐 💐 💐 💐
One car I've always LOVED is the BMW 2002. Love that funky little car.
What a great car. Love the volvo's of the 80's and early 90's. They still look good and are easy and cheap to work on and keep them on the road. Great job guys. Love the video.
Way to go on the detail, guys. Welcome to the team, Mike. I used to have a 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix. It would be great to see you guys detail one of those. Thanks for the videos.
Hello
This is what God Almighty said in the Holy Qur’an on the authority of Jesus the Prophet, peace be upon him, from Surat Al-Ma’idah from verse 116 to verse 120.
Surat Al Maeda from verse 116 to verse 120
116. And (remember) when Allâh will say (on the Day of Resurrection): "O ‘Îsâ (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary)! Did you say unto men: ‘Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allâh?’ " He will say: "Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner-self though I do not know what is in Yours; truly, You, only You, are the All-Knower of all that is hidden (and unseen).
117. "Never did I say to them aught except what You (Allâh) did command me to say: ‘Worship Allâh, my Lord and your Lord.’ And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them; and You are a Witness to all things. (This is a great admonition and warning to the Christians of the whole world).
118. "If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily You, only You, are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise"
119. Allâh will say: "This is a Day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise) - they shall abide therein forever. Allâh is pleased with them and they with Him. That is the great success (Paradise).
120. To Allâh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is therein, and He is Able to do all things.
Great truth of God.
VOLVO for life dude !! Beautiful as it is, good job.
I have always wanted. 1973 Monte Carlo. My aunt had one and I was very jealous of her. I am a true Monte Carlo lover.
What a great car to save, and Mike seems just the person to keep it on the road, I can’t wait to see what happens with the 260Z! I can see Mike’s point of view, my dream car is a 1980’s Mercedes 300TD (Diesel wagon)… They are boxy and kind of conservative but I love them, and I’m lucky enough to own one, great video!
Nice find, looks superb in the end. Very nice 16 vales engine, leather, a/c, all the regular high end stuff, and it even have the OEM radio!
Just note they the engine requires a bit of attention, the 16v flavor of the redblock engine is more fragile than older designs, especially on the timing belt, water pump, pulleys (one is made of plastic and break, running the vales...).
The rest is rock solid.
100,000 miles on a Volvo is NOTHING. It's still a baby. What a GREAT find! Happy for Mike- awesome gesture guys. Myself- I'd want a 1998 Volvo S70 manual transmission. Volvos set the safety standard back in the 240 days, even before- still the Gold Standard today in my opinion. The S70 is 'new enough' but a real 'last century' gem. Again-- great job guys. Enjoy the 740 Mike but value those friends you have; they gave you more than a car.
This beauty was scheduled to get crushed 😢. So glad you guys saved it!! I have a Volvo 240 sedan and I am an advent Volvo lover so seeing you guys take such good care fixing it up blessed my heart 🙏.
🎉 Great job guys keep up the amazing work on all the cars you get done! I wish y’all all the best in 23 , and the one car or truck I would love for y’all to do is a old school Chevy truck if y’all can find one that isn’t all clapped out… and again guys keep up the great work much love from texas
Very happy for Mike
He and me have much in common regarding car tastes. I love the old, indestructible cars ❤❤❤
I don't think you have done one but a 1967 cougar! My dad had one when I was a little kid and I just fell in love with it! Just brings back memories of my dad!
Another great video. You two are really becoming great storytellers!
I think there's a possibility of rusting due to soapy moisture/water droplets presence underneath the carpet. So, the better solution is to remove the floor carpet, then wash and dry outside of the car to prevent rusting.
I really like how you guys save this Volvo. I grew up with a 740! I will always have a place in my heart for this Volvo.
Once owned a Volvo 740 turbo wagon… BIG RED. It was like driving your living room… so comfortable and secure… many trips to the Cape for summer vacations.
This has got to be a plant car. Those seats are never in that good of condition
Why the hate on a luxury reliable car!!!! Gotta love Volvo trucks and sedans ❤️❤️❤️.
Thank you WD Detailing for the video saving prices of artwork!
One car that would love to have again is a 1969 Mustang convertible. I bought one from a young kid going to college and I really never got to enjoy it. It needed a lot of work and a mechanic had told me that the frame wasn’t reparable, so I sold it.
That is my dream car.
I’m a 53 year old veteran with a couple of health issues. My dream car has always been a 1968 Mustang. I’ve seen a few that need a lot of work that’s in my price range but I don’t move around as good as I use to. Due to the fact that I’m on Oxygen 24 hours a day. But yea a 68 Mustang is my dream car.
Wow, great transformation from before and after. Great job.
Great video! Congratulations Mike! That car is awesome! Awesome job guys!
I'm not surprised Mike wanted it. There's something about them old Volvos. I want it to, especially in that condition. Awesome! Great work as always guys.
I think that many people do not understand how much character that old Volvo has. Many safe miles for the new owner!
Love your alls channel, love watching you all bring cars gone back. Just finished this one. I'm 45 now, as for the question. My dream car was from my youth a 1985 jeep grand wagoneer. Yea that one would be what I'd dream of owning. I mean the style, the wood paneling, the wheels. Yea that's what I dream of wanting to have some day.
Who in the world parks & junks a 1990 Volvo wagon in that shape? Our family car growing up was a 240DL wagon, an absolute tank! The 1980s & 1990s were Volvo’s golden age. This was so satisfying to watch!
2004 Tahoe 2022 I bought a used Tahoe my cousin belong to her has been in one of my best friends supposedly in Rockdale Texas at the time...... My family needed me in California to help care for my elderly father I had to fly to California because I get invited to drive far distance so I sold it to a friend of mine and I was emotionally attached to that Tahoe so sad to let It go but next to the love you videos by the way so satisfying you guys do a great job every time I'm always impressed❤😊
That was such an amazing gift guys, so awesome. Can't believe that the engine was in such good condition. What compound did you use to stain the bumper? It really came out looking great. A real feel good video.
I am in South Africa and I love watching your recordings. If I can be presented with an old FORD GT, I will be so excited. I love vintage cars with comfort, power and speed
I'm with Mike; always loved #volvos. That was a nice gesture.
If I were given a car it would be an early model Triumph Spitfire. I test drove one when I was sixteen and loved it. When I returned home to retrieve the cash to buy it it had been snapped up by someone else by the time I got back. I've never loved a car that cool since. I'm 67 and haven't seen another one since.
I’ve had 7 Volvos since 1985. Two have hit 200,000 miles. 2 DL sedans, a DL wagon, a 940 sedan, 2 S60 sedans, and my current new XC90 is the best Volvo I’ve owned.
Yep, the mirrors and bumper were so satisfying!!!!!! Amazing detail work!!!!!!
Old Volvos are probably one of the most underrated cars you can buy. I recently bought a 1994 940 for 1500. Had 261k miles but ran tip top. Interior is also in great condition. Its crazy to see how undervalued these cars really are. Never mind the fact that theyre both boring and slow, thats what makes them charming. Too bad its not the wagon variant, but even then, its a good example of the good ole Swedish tank
I would do just about anything for a 65 corvette in rally red, big block. My father had one and always bought a smile to his face. Sold it to build a house for his family, first child, me. He had that James Dean look and oh, can you imagine him in that car driving down the strip in the city in 1965-66. Yeah, that is why I want it.
Love these videos!! I wish no car ever had to die. Most all can be brought back to life! Great work guys!
My first car was a 93 740 turbo sedan. This brought back some memories!
This car was restored beautifully! It reminds me of the BMW 3 series wagon I said I would treat myself to after becoming a nurse. 😊 Sweet work guys! 😊
1973 ford Maverick was my first car , 2 door , my brother added mag wheels and tires and lifted the rear , made this little sister happy
That was long ago in 1985 , hope you find one like I had 😊
I always loved the Volvo estate car and when they entered the 850 into the British Touring Car Championships in the early 90’s they were a sight to behold
I love the 700 series! The 16v redblock is awesome and extremely rare too! Love his reaction too - another beautiful old Volvo saved! Those alloys look fab on these - so period. The 700 series is one of the most reliable and well engendering cars ever made. And yes he is totally correct that the Volvo would get far more attention than a Lambo, I too would make sure the Lambo owner saw me admiring the Swede over his pompous box
