This is incredible. When I watched this video a week ago I thought I’d never be able to find an 850R again for a decent price. I was bummed. But then a polar white sedan like this one popped up near me on Wednesday and I bought yesterday for only $1600!

Those 850R's are one of the most beautiful car designs ever.

Christmas came early. I have a black 850R.. I cried when I saw this. White 850Rs are more rare than black and red ones. 240hp wasn't nothing to sneeze at in 96 and 97.

One word: WOW! What a difference. This really makes me happy, the detail and job you do on the car is amazing! Thank you!!! Cant wait to see more Volvo's coming on your channel ;-). The red car at 2:54 is a Volvo 740 Turbo by the way, super good video as always Larry!

My mom had one of these when I was a kid, in white as well so this really brings me back. People are rude about these boxy volvos but I really like them.

To be fair that era of Volvos is very easy to diagnose and work on ONCE you know what you’re doing, I got into it blind and it cost me far too much money and time to find out all the car needed was an inlet manifold gasket. They’re some very special bits of engineering, once you know what they need and how to work them, fixing them is very very easy, it’s all built extremely well and there’s usually lots of room to work in the engine bays, the one remarkable thing is that I’ve never ever ever known of a car that old as mine where the bolts and nuts come off with such ease, it’s almost as if they were built a week ago. Special bits of kit.

@@-R4- Those torx machine screws Volvo used for the thermostat housing are TYPICALLY messed up. They're hard to get to without the right (and it's cheap) tool, which means the teeth in the soft head are usually rounded off, and usually the long threads are galled in place. If they come out easily, it's amazing.

I finally started watching your videos today, and as a P2 V70R owner and all-round Volvo enthousiast I can only say this one made me very happy. I'll be watching a lot more! It'd be awesome to do some detailing on the side, complementing a data science job.

My cousin had a Volvo and I was never jealous of a car or wanted one like this after I sat in it. The best line of sight and the most comfortable front driver seat I've ever experienced and I've owned a lot of cars, but nothing came close to this.... Love these videos!!! Happy Thanksgiving Larry and crew, you're show is amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Myself and my wife have an 850r in our collection ( olive green it's our pride and joy the very first car we bought together the first time she hit boost etc ) and can honestly say when I saw this video with Larry pop up, I clicked so fast knowing it's going to be done right by a guy who clearly loves his cars ( and a Volvo I believe ! ) It turned out great the white reminds me of the old unmarked T5's the UK's finest liked to rock up in, as always top work Larry great to see the old girl fire up and then clear them lungs on the open road !

Nice to see a Volvo 740 in the beginning of the video dressed in a 850R front bumper 🥰

Music was on point in this episode 🔥🥵

Thanks, Larry! I know I've been buggin you about seeing you work on the 850R and boy, you didn't disappoint! I'm thankful for all your hard work. Keep on churning out fantastic work!

I gotta say I really enjoy all the late 80s-90s restorations. It’s such a nice feeling to see those cars come back to life. It almost takes us all back in time I’m sure many here feel the same way! Keep it up Larry 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

These " back to life" videos are the most satisfying. Thanks Larry.

Volvos have such nice paint. I clay barred a white wagon of the same gen for my mom and it was stunning! They are just tanks all around.

Wish they'd used a different plastic inside. And for some of the engine connectors. And the speedometer gauge gear. And a different solder in the ABS module. But I agree, mostly tanks. Many times I've turned the key on one that's just been sitting and it has cranked right up.

"Small businesses like mine" Larry,you are the undisputed YT King of detailing!

What a big car, i love the white paint tho, and it looks like preserved pretty well after all. It's always awesome see a whole team restoring such amazing cars, and with an happy ending too!

These are really well built cars. I had a 94 850 that got about 250,000 miles before I decided to donate it. It was in the family like 9 years. Longest we ever kept a car.

Love to see it! The 850 platform was the first car I ever modified! Had the predecessor 1995 T-5R for years, some really great memories. This video makes me want another. Excellent as always Larry.

Loved mine - it too had sat for a few years, bad fuel pump replaced along with a tune p got it running again but sadly, it had a bad sprag clutch which would burn the ATF so quickly. The 850R's are really quick! Nice job Larry!

As a swede I approve this very much. I miss my 850, superb riding comfort and the lovely 5 cylinder engine ❤️

As someone who owns three yellow 850R's and a single factory white one in poor condition I must say this was extremely nice to see. The white ones are very rare here in Sweden. My white one cost almost twice as much in non-running condition as the the ones in almost perfect and running condition (but yellow) did. This vid gave me some motivation.

Detailing is an art in itself and Ammo NYC is the Picasso of it.

It’s just amazing what you can do for these abandoned cars. Kudos to all involved.

Nice another Volvo. And now one that I actually drive

Ridiculous as this is I've been waiting for this since I saw the outro in the other Volvo video. Props sticking to the game so long and having by far the best detailing channel around!

That little clip at the end of the turbo gauge shooting up when you floor it made me miss my old 850 T5 estate (or wagon for those in the US). The noise the 5cyl turbo used to make was awesome, particularly once remapped to almost 300bhp on an otherwise stock car! :D

I bought detailing supplies so that I could make my car look nice. Cleaned everything and made the thing shine. For 1 day it was glorious, and then someone rammed my door and it is beyond repair :' )

Great video again and awesome transformation. 1 sidenote: at 2.54 you show a 940/960, not an 850.

I had an 850 t5 wagon, one of my favorite road cars. Great build quality and love that you can still pick them up for great prices with an easy supply of replacement parts.

Wonderful Video! Thank you sir for bringing such projects to life and to our devices. It’s not easy doing what gou do and filming the whole project and making it so enjoyable to watch. Thank you!

Nice job! I just realised I’ve been neglecting my yellow T-5R estate out in the yard. Now you guys gave me some inspiration!

Thank you for the Pulp Fiction shot. It's the little things that make your videos even more fun. Thanks for all of your teaching Larry, keep these videos coming!

Thanks Larry... I had a 850t wagon in red back in the day and always loved this series of Volvo. Best wishes for the holidays!!!

Hi, Not sure if this has ever been suggested for Ammo Product kits but it would be nice to have a kit for those of us that live in Condos and Apt that do not have access to water hoses. More like a post local car wash and maintenance kit. Include things like not water cleaning spray (for in between washes) towels, waxing etc.

Larry, another outstanding episode. Absolutely brilliant!!!

That Volvo sounds beautiful! 😍and now looking as it sounds! 👏 Another accomplished mission for Larry and the AMMONYC crew! 🎊

What a transformation ! Great to see another Volvo live !

That beast definitely has a light tune on it based off the boost gauge! I manual swapped my t5r and did Arron’s vast euro tune, car hauls butt but is needing a lot of work. Full suspension and mounts, bumper, interior dash and paint. It’s a yellow so you bet I’m keeping it

850R's and T5R's are some of the coolest Volvo's ever. Highly underrated too. Useless fact: the Australian Federal Police used T5R's as patrol cars for a short period. I still want an 850 wagon.....to convert into a ute!

@2:54 Oops, that’s a 740 with a modified 850R front spoiler. 😅 Great job with the detailing!

As a 850 T-5R owner this warms my heart, thank you

Omg I've waited for this Volvo video for soooo long now, I'm so happy it's finally here, keep up the good work as always Larry :)

I was hoping you’d get this one too! Great job Larry!

Love the 850r. Amusing how James may took one to Africa while on the old top gear. Surprisingly the thin tires and the back axle didn’t break until right at the end

What an epic car - huge Volvo fan here. These are getting so rare now. What a great recovery

Watching that 850R getting all that love makes me happy. They should all be saved like this

850s in that shape are holy grail finds in europe 😭

Love it Larry Great nostalgic video. Lots of love man!

Very satisfying watch.

Larry I never get tired of watching you bring these cars back to life credit to you and your mates for helping each other out. keep the vids coming. Do you ship your products to Australia?

Amazing job it looks incredible. I had a 1995 T5 wagon here in the UK must be nearly a decade ago now hearing that engine on boost brings back memories I loved that car, mine was red but that white looks so good. Recognise that engine tone immediately. 5 cylinder turbocharged goodness!

Great transformation!!!

Excellent video. Reminded me of my old next-door neighbor (RIP) back in the day had leased a few Volvos including a purple 850 GLT and his wife had a red 940 Turbo. Then after turning-in the purple GLT he had that yellow 850 T-5R sedan complete with the five flat-spoke wheels and manual (!) gearbox, and I don’t think I’ve seen another like it since.

The 850R is an awesome car, it was my dream car back in the days. The wheels originally on this white Volvo are the 16” Turbo rims, and are also super cool. The later V70R had even cooler and super clean 5-spoke wheels.

Larry awesome restoration as always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is very awesome, my first car ever was an 85 240 sedan white like the one off to the side in the video. I wanted the 850 T5R so bad in 96 I think. I went to the dealer almost every week and literally stared at the bright yellow 850 in the show room. Never got one,but did end up getting myself a S70 sedan later in life. It was used but man did I love that car.

Skills,off the hook !! Way to go Larry and gang !

Nicely Done, I like the SLIGHT DRIFT around the Corner there and a CHIRP from that New Rubber. GREAT JOB Larry.

Just got an 850R 3 days ago. Love it!

Volvos. Lots and lots of Swedish Tank designs! Paradise!!!!!

Beautiful transformation of a solid car!!

Larry, you have no idea the effect you have on your viewers. As I watched your techniques I implemented them to my details, and people always asked how I keep my car so clean and why it’s so easy to keep and maintain it in an hour or two weekly maintenance wash. I’m now a small business owner myself, and you guessed it, detailing cars. Funny how the world works too, as I use AMMO products on clients cars, which is why I even have the business in the first place. You can add dream maker to your resume. And I’m eternally grateful for that.

Would love to see more old Volvos like this. Great car!!

your narrations are always on point

Another awesome one. Video and sound quality are top-notch!

the build qulity of the 850's was always amazing. and given it has not been touched in 5 years and was that easy to get going says a lot.

This week we were working on Volvo 850 gl from 1996, this car had only 1 owner over all this years and is in surprisingly good condition (considering it had it's life in Estonia with wet snow and salt on roads), only right front wing had a bit of rusty problem.
