Have a 1985 Volvo 740. Many reasons to have and keep one. A great ride and decent gas mileage. Dad purchased the car new.

This would look killer with the usa front end headlights, but I understand that its cooler to have a euro front end in the usa since its rare.

My first Redblock was a '86 740 with the carburated 2.3 engine, after that I had a handful of injected 7s and 9s (and now a '97 HPT), but of all these cars that one with the Pierburg carburettor easily was the nicest, smoothest running and very torquey, in second gear it had a kick not unlike a turbo, despite the horrendous fuel consumption I will always remember that one as my favourite brick from Sweden.

Love the euro model headlights on usa spec car, im from Europe too and many people like the usa front here but i like euro front end not just because of the looks but because it has alot better light output.

I still have mine its a '90 model 740gle 2.3 non turbo...bought it in 97. Didn't mod it in any way, still keeps up with modern traffic. Recently bought a 2.0 740se wagon which I will turbo swap and lower etc.. etc. Gets so many heads to turn even in its current "survivor" condition 😅

The ZF trans was available in these cars up until 1986 I believe. It’s a true four speed with a lock up torque converter. The aw71 was used later in 7,9, and 2 series Volvos. It’s a 3 speed with an electronic overdrive.

0:42 looks like a b230f, it says on that label but can't see it from here. Might be an fb? They didn't put em in the 740 but it can be swapped... 116hp. too bad it's an auto :( And i thought heated seats was standard? Maybe only in europe, idk. Super sick that he actually put the EU front on it. Everybody over here wants US front ends :p I do like the huge headlights tho, awesome high beam. Heads up for all non volvo folks, putting coilovers on an old volvos require quite a bit of cutting and welding. 95% of all who lowers just chop the springs.

@@meatballs9127 USA had b230f before europe, because of california regulation. He also don't have the fittings for an ABS module, so the body is 1986 or prior. 90's lights can be fitted with a bit of modification. No one sells new 80's blocky headlights, as far as im aware of. The front end is 80's, it's a lot of work to fit a 80's front to a 90's car. He also got the old emblems on the trunk.
