What are your tire-rim specs? Did you lift the car in any way? Really appreciate it!

I just love this car so much. It hurts not seeing this epic car in the roads like before, you see one once in a year here in Sweden.. My dad bought me one in 1995 which I kept it for almost 5 years before i trade her for Merc 190e which was great car too. Best memories with dad back then, crossing through Europe under 10 years period was with the 240, Merc 190 and later with the e39 523i. Unfortunately he passed away but i still remember his happy face when he called the 240 for Panzer (Tank) and how safe he felt while driving

Great car. I owned one from 1981 to 2005 (and covered over 300k miles). They do rust more than modern Volvos but were years ahead of the competition.

The story of the rust. The painters where sloppy.the cars sold well anyway. The 240 out lived the 740 in production only becourse its huge popularity. Some last year models came partly galvanized.

I like you for showing the true colors of Redblock's torque, under a load, in such conditions. No limiter-hit drama, no showers of mud. Just some careful driving.

That's the ticket! We saw awd cars bouncing off the limiter get stuck a few times. The 240 chugged right on threw.

Drove a few of these old Volvo tanks! Bought each of them as used cars! First a 240 sedan. Built like a tank and sturdy as one. Once had a rear end collision to a Ford Fiesta who thought brake checking me would be an amazing idea! It was not!! The Fiesta went out of it as totaled, completely warped bodywork. The 240 had one headlight and the radiator grill broken, nothing too expensive! Then there was a 245 station wagon, with the 6 cylinders diesel engine, strong as a moose and frugal as a mouse! Carried me for many years. Then my wife fell in love with a 740 sedan. That car stayed with me for some three months, until a neighbor from three streets down parked her Opel Corsa (with 70 km/h ( 43 mph) in a 30 km/h (19 mph) zone) directly in my trunk. Due to the fact she was offset to the left she didn´t hit the massive part of the rear bumper, ripped down the rear left fender until the rear axle, which warped the bodywork slightly, although all four doors still worked perfectly. The trunk was a totally different story, obviously! When I got the car towed to the dealer I had bought it from he shook his head and asked me what had happened to the car. I told him the car he sold me wasn´t winterproof! He looked at me in disbelief and stated that it was the month of june! So I told him that the women who was to blame for the accident was a Mrs Winter! After a bit of negotiating and giving my old 245 station wagon into account, inserting the money from the insurance and a 1000 Deutschmarks (the good old times), I was able to buy a 4 years old 945 station wagon (with approx. 200 000 km ( 125 000 miles) on the clock. A good friend of mine was working as master mechanic for the Volvo dealer and he told me that this car was driven by a reporter of a german tv channel, mostly long distance routes, even from Germany to Italy or Norway, and had an immaculate service record. Sold this car 6 years later with nearly the double mileage and a worn-out clutch not too much under the prize I had payed.

For those who are curios about fitting tyres on a stock 740/940: Yokohama Geolander At 205 70 15 will perfect without any changes on the car. I personally threw the spoiler lips in front and rear in the trash to get more ground clearance and used an ancle grinder to smooth out the corners from the bumpers around the wheels. You won't believe how good a redblock turbo with big at tyres actually works off road. Awesome car. Great video
