What a fantastic video! Your comment about them going extinct was so on point! Keep up the quality content, I think your channel is going to do very well 👍

I own a 1988 Volvo 745 GLE with 4-speed and overdrive. Owned this car for 20 years by now and I will never sell it. The car got sunroof, electric windows and cruise control and everything works even the fuel gauge works after I repaired it.

Loved world-wide alright! 1990 Volvo 740 New Zealand owner here 🇳🇿. 740s etc are quite hard to come across here. & people here either understand the love for Volvos or they look at you like you're completely crazy , I love it 😍 Appreciate this video a lot, straight to the point and well put together. Especially the never reaching zero part! They need to not go extinct world-wide

Love this video actually watching it in my 740 1992 with the same blue interior and everything. Love from Sweden🇸🇪

So that cliff ledge is actually perfect for holding a phone with a vent magnet. I love it. Actually great design but for unintended reasons

A fair assessment,I love my 88 Volvo 740 Se,still a very underated classic

Great video. The 700 series has mostly been overshadowed by the 200 because the latter has (had) the edge when it comes to that ironic autumnal history teacher chic. I love my navy 740 GL and just need a fuel pump to get it back on the road. Two cars have crashed into it in the past, writing themselves off in the process. Comfortable, roomy, yes. But also, it handles really nicely. It's really precise, predictable and you always know where the limit is.

This was fantastic man! Loved everything from the various angle of raw footage to 80s electronic music cut in between to the in-car interview and VO narration and going back in time with you retrospectively appreciating this classic …from an 89’ 740 GL Wagon owner….this was hilarious and insightful and too much fun…LOVED THIS!! Keep up the great work man! 👏😎

There's still huge love for these, made a group about them a couple years ago now for a booming success, over 2k members and predominantly rwd, it's a play on the us turbo bricks, fastbricks. Some are fast some aren't but if you fancy getting into one definitely grab one they're reliable once you've given them the service they desire and don't really rust compared to say a sierra. Great video doing the car's justice, only note is pre 88 didn't come galvanized so watch out for areas direct to salt but still rare to get a very rotten one. Front floors, bits around the bulkhead to inner arch and battery tray are the key points and that's about it.

american here just here to say i’m working hard everyday to keep my 88 740 turbo wagon alive and well

My friend had this in school, the coolest car ever. We slept in the back and it would swallow up a raft if we needed to. I wish I could own one now

Great video! I really love this Volvo... It may be boxy, but it's by far the best looking boxy station wagon ever made.

Witam, 1 stycznia 2024 i strasznie cieszy mnie fakt, że w Polsce aktualnie klasyczne - tylnonapędowe cegiełki kosztują już na start przynajmniej z 12-15k i dzięki temu są w większości poza zasięgiem młodych kaskaderów. Pozdrawiam wszystkich ceglarzy z przyszłości

I have the 940 which is very similar....and I bloody luv it ! Great vid by the way !

I love my 740 i have got a few compliments for my car

Your quality is excellent! Great video!

I didnt even notice this video was from a channel with only 210 subscribers o: Very nice work on this video, keep going like this and this channel will grow, You have the quality content!

Great cars, no doubt! The 940 were a little better, both better than the cult 240. All better than what followed, sadly. But it goes to prove that making a car that lasts forever will put you out of business.

I liked driving my father's 740 estate. The manual gear stick was made of solid steel and felt like it could last for over a million miles. The steering lock was very good and it was a reliable car. I like the look of it now even more than I did back then. Great video. Thank you very much.

We had a 'signal red' manual 740GL estate, E485TUM reg, from 1990 to 2012. I'd loved to have kept it, but my 940 CD 2.3LPT has been similarly reliable and with the extra power, helps keep up with today's traffic. Amazingly I've been lucky to have had classy black interiors including the seating and it's the perfect place to be for hours at a time.

So nice to hear that you are talking about 200 and 700 series not just saying 240 and 740 😄👍🏻

I remember seeing this exact car forsale on facebook for £500 last summer, missed out on it as it sold within house! it then popped up about 2 months later again for £1850! Not sure what it eventually sold for but didnt seem any work had been done to it

got an 85 760 gle turbo brick here in canada. minimal surface rust. best wagon ive owned

I bought a 1990 740 here in Canada about 1.5 years ago and love it. Great running car but with age it does need a little tlc. Not many 740 on the road here in, and very few in scrap yards for parts.

The best thing that Volvo has are the red block engines that could go around a million miles with the proper maintenance there were different options 740,GL,GLE, Turbo, Diesel, Turbodiesel,760,GL,GLE, Turbo diesel Turbo Plus

Hi Thanks, I have one 1986 D reg estate in white. I bought Her at a reasonable price, but also because when | was checking Her out all that I could find wrong was that the original cassette player didn't auto reverse!! ; - )

Had a F reg 2-3 Carburettor just like that back in 92 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

4:35 Fun fact: You could buy a little plastic container to put on the little "shelf" :D We call them "pennfack" in swedish which translates to "pen storage".

Had one in exactly the same colour and interior but a manual 745 carburettor in 92.

Loved the 6 cyl turbo diesels in the Uk..especially the later ones. Power and economy in a big car. 760 Td the pick of the bunch. Pity they're all gone now.

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like

Lovely review, but one thing, it stodd GL on the back, but with B230e, plush seats and the black stripes it is GLE. i know it exist GL/E but they have b230f

Or where can I have the Right hand drive one please?

It’s definitely worth saving! Check out involvo’d on KZfaq, he’s currently restoring a 740 just like this along with a few other old boxes!

I have a volvo 744 gl from 87 and yes i’m from sweden and there is actually plenty of them

Galvanized steel must have been cheap galvanized, lots of rust on my 1985 740 keep my eye in welding,nice report

Yes... its a classic, the same way the V50 and V70 will be.... I love Volvo

Har en 1991 745 med 50000mil(310685mi) på mätaren vilken bil.

pity the speedo clock stops working on them🤔

Don’t know if it’s said already but the “cliff” on the dashboard, has an accessoires you can put on there.. but your reviewing a very basic 740.. so it’s obviously not there

740 now ,940 on the way to climb up in value.

For sale??

I’ve got an 87 gl wagon I’ll never part with it

Very rare in Ireland. They were all burnt out drifting.

best car

5:06, you know that the B230 is not a 2.0L its a 2.3L

I hope not, merging on to the highway with a short ramp was only slightly safer than Russian Roulette. Hated the 92 we had growing up black on black, na, auto. If the yellow jacket was going extinct I wouldn't miss them either.

Nice video. Terrible shirt.

If only it weren’t such a rotten one 😌

Люблю свой Вольво 740 универсал! Владею им не так много, всего 3 года и определенно никогда не продам!❤
