First Wash In 15 Years: Free ABANDONED 1991 Volvo 240 Wagon Disaster Detail!

This is a 1991 Volvo 240 Wagon that was left in the woods for over 15 years in Doylestown PA. My friend Matt contacted me to help save the abandoned 240 wagon before it gets scrapped. I travel to the residence where the Volvo has sat and we pull it out of the woods for a detail. The 240 is covered in dirt, mold, leaves, spiderwebs, and rodent droppings. An absolute bio-hazard of a wagon... Thankfully, Matt and his buddy Craig are weekend detailers so this crazy project seems a little more manageable. Harrison and Jake from Rebuild Rescue also arrive to lend a hand on getting the Volvo cleaned up. During the challenging but satisfying detail, we work on the 240's engine with Volvo enthusiast and shop owner Pete. He becomes interested in the 240 and kindly makes a donation to an equestrian program that helps one of Matt's children. Big thank you to Matt, Harrison, Jake, Pete, Craig, and Rod for their help with the Volvo project. Enjoy the fun detail and awesome work that went into getting the 240 on the racetrack soon. - L

What an honor for us to be part of this! After going through the car, we found it needs lines/2 fuel pumps and some major rust repair in the rocker panels....and basically a whole new interior. (Hence the low 1200 offer) It actually took a quick removal/installation of the transmission for replacement of the broken crank sensor bracket. Our plans are to convert it to a street-able track car using the engine/suspension/brake system from our ex-racecar...We're also considering an electric conversion! Either way, this car will be made amazing again by our team!

As a swede that grew up in a 245 and later a 945, this was beautiful to see. These cars are literally just cars, nothing fancy and the drive train is one of the most bulletproof cars on the planet. I recommend that anyone looking for a older volvo scoop them up now before they either get to expensive or just aren't around anymore. 740 turbos and 16 valves are creeping up in the 6000-10 000$ range now and it's just stupid.

Detailing for charity is awesome. Kudos to Larry and friends for making it happen.

[movieguy]

Never thought I'd ever see wagons making such a comeback! Im out in a small country town in Canada and theres a few young guys with restored wagons, a Caprice station wagon and a volvo just like this one. Huge respect for people restoring cars, especially the ones no one ever thought were worth keeping at the time.

[alkmsahin]

As a Volvo enthusiast and a wagon lover this is my favourite video of yours in the past few years👏Great work with the charity work. Would've been a happy ending if it wasn't going to be a race car

[SwedishBassboost]

As a swedish Volvo lover, this is satisfying to see. People taking care of the cars and all the detailing is amazing! I hope we get to see the 850 R in an Episode soon. Thanks a bunch for the video Larry!

[cheekyphuzz_thegod]

This model was my very first car, absolutely love the older Volvos

[craiglutz]

Larry, great meeting you and Jordan! Thanks for coming down and helping with a great cause. Gotta say it was the pinnacle of my 15 year detailing career to get to do a car with you haha!

[b-radluther]

Hey Larry my name is Brad and I started my own detailing business at the age of 15 I just wanted to say you inspired me to start my own business and I hope life is awesome for you

[kendingsor]

Pete, Joe, and Johnny at The Fix are top notch mechanics and awesome dudes! Cool to see this collab!

Those 240's sell for a LOT of money in the Netherlands. They're icons of a trustworthy car. A buddy of mine has one in red, polar edition. Lovely car. I own a 340 DLS with the B19A redblock engine. Whenever a redblock starts up, I recognize it immediatly. Such a familiar sound.

[GothKid]

THANK GOD YOU TOOK OUT THE CARPET, that was the first step of professionalism I’ve seen in detailing an old Volvo 240, people extract the carpet and it makes the floor wet and it gets rusty or rotten!

[DRURID]

The 240 Volvo is one of the most simple yet beautiful cars out there.
So thank you for bringing this beauty back to life.

[erictarby]

What an amazing job on that old filthy Volvo, I trust Matt to detail all my vehicles, nice touch sneaking the two rocks rye song in there.

[ppellet]

Larry thanks to you and your friends for saving the 240, and paying it forward!! My first Volvo was a 1991 240, and I’ve been owning Volvos ever since!!!!

[MrDrew]

Great work on bringing this old 245 back from the threat of extinction. Looks like it landed in the right hands. Also, definitely come back for the 850R. Beyond removing the oxidation and restoring the shine, you may want to add it to your personal car collection. These are really fun cars to drive and the sound the turbocharged 5-cylinder engine makes with a proper exhaust is fantastic. Even better when you can convert the auto transmission to a 5-speed manual.

I love to see an old RWD brick saved from the crusher. Nice work.

[DavidBugea]

As a small-scale rancher, I’m so glad to see the donation that was made to Ivy Hill. What a great organization!

[kingofnewyork]

Larry is the detailing GOAT been watching this channel for years, never a disappointment from this channel !

“I think I know a guy who might want it - that guy might be me”

That’s how you know you’re talking to a true Volvo enthusiast. Never can have to many lmao. Great video as always, and especially good given the Swedish aspect ;)
