1984 Volvo 240 DL Diesel start-up and drive

This is a video I took, in March of ‘07, of me cold-starting and driving my car. It’s a 1984 Volvo 240 DL, but it’s the ultra-rare diesel edition. Volvo made VERY few of these cars, and they did so only for a short period (four or five years out of the 240 series’ 20 year run).

The engine is an inline 6-cylinder diesel, made by Volkswagen/Audi. Volvo purchased the diesel engines from VW and used them, instead of making their own. Go figure.

This car is in showroom condition…probably the only one on the east coast. It starts right up, as you can see in this movie.

This engine is actually really fast and powerful, unlike most diesel cars. It accelerates just as fast as my Audi did.

This vid isn’t so great. It’s hard to find a good place to put the camera so that you can see the car well. Oh well.

Enjoy!
