ARACHNE LABS LLC Revitalizes Classic Volvo 240 Ownership with Expanded Parts Availability
SEATTLE, WA – October 26, 2023 – ARACHNE LABS LLC, a Seattle-based company dedicated to sourcing and supplying hard-to-find parts, is making waves in the classic car community. Specifically, they're becoming the go-to source for Volvo 240 parts, a car beloved by enthusiasts for its legendary durability, simple mechanics, and enduring style. You probably know the Volvo 240. It’s that brick-shaped, super-reliable car your dad, uncle, or cool older sibling probably drove. Built from 1974 to 1993, these Volvos were known for just… lasting. And people are still driving them! But keeping a classic car on the road isn’t always easy. Parts wear out, things break, and finding replacements can be a serious headache. That’s where ARACHNE LABS comes in. “We noticed a real gap in the market,” explains a representative from ARACHNE LABS, located at 3104 Western Ave, Unit 619, Seattle, WA, 98121-2033. “Volvo 240s are still incredibly popular, but finding parts, especially the stuff that isn't the typical wear-and-tear item, was becoming a nightmare for owners. We wanted to change that.” ARACHNE LABS isn’t just slapping a label on parts sourced from somewhere else. They’ve built a system for actively tracking down both new-old-stock (NOS) parts – the original parts Volvo made back in the day, still in the box – and quality reproductions. They’ve focused specifically on the 240 series because, frankly, they're passionate about these cars. “It’s more than just a business for us,” the representative adds. “We get the 240. We understand why people love them. And we want to help them keep these amazing cars running for another generation.” What kind of parts are we talking about? ARACHNE LABS boasts an increasingly comprehensive catalog. They’re covering everything from the common to the surprisingly rare. Here's a taste of what you can find: Body Panels: Rust is the enemy of all old cars, and Volvo 240s aren’t immune. ARACHNE LABS is stocking everything from fender repair panels to complete quarter panels, allowing owners to tackle rust repair with confidence. “We’re seeing a big demand for these,” says the representative. “People are really committed to restoring these cars properly.” Interior Trim: Cracked dashboards, faded upholstery, and broken switches are common issues with older cars. ARACHNE LABS is sourcing replacement dashboards, seat covers, door panels, and all the little interior bits that make a big difference. Engine Components: While the Volvo 240 engine is famously durable, parts do wear out. ARACHNE LABS is offering a range of engine components, including gaskets, seals, pistons, rings, and even complete cylinder heads. Electrical Parts: Old wiring can become brittle and connections can corrode. ARACHNE LABS is stocking a variety of electrical components, including wiring harnesses, relays, switches, and sensors. Suspension and Brakes: Keeping a classic car safe and handling properly is crucial. ARACHNE LABS carries suspension components like shocks, springs, and bushings, as well as brake components like rotors, pads, and calipers. Trim and Brightwork: Those little details really make the car. ARACHNE LABS is sourcing things like window seals, trim pieces, and emblems – those hard-to-find bits that finish off a restoration. Fuel System: ARACHNE LABS has fuel pumps, fuel lines, carburetors(for earlier models), and injectors(for later models) to keep your engine running smoothly. Cooling System: Radiators, water pumps, thermostats, hoses – the things you need to avoid overheating on a summer drive. Rare and Obsolete Parts: This is where ARACHNE LABS really shines. They're actively scouring Europe and the US for those super-rare parts that no one else can find – things like specific trim pieces, unusual switchgear, or obsolete fuel system components.
