Vehicle description
The Volvo 242GT was only available for three years in North America, 1978-1980. This particular car has been in my possession since 1989, and I"m only the second owner of the car. The engine compartment is factory, the bodywork and paint is professionally re-created, and the interior is original.* * *Please note: The car is mechanically sound and functional. It has been occasionally started while in storage, but WILL require complete routine maintenance to be road-worthy.* * *In the U.S., it was only available in Mystic Silver with black and red stripes, with a black corduroy interior with red seat stripes. The original factory paint job included vinyl striping; this has been professionally reproduced and sealed under clearcoat for durability while maintaining the factory look of the car. This current paint job was done in 2004, and the car has been in storage since then. Photo of original advertisement available for comparison if desired.The interior is 100% original, so it is showing some wear. Please see photos for cracks in the dashboard vinyl, and also the wear to the original black corduroy interior.The engine compartment is untouched and original - see photos of original stickers (in Swedish!). It has four wheel disc brakes. Due to being in storage long term, the car needs regular service and maintenance but is in working order. 2.1L fuel-injected overhead CAM Crossblow 4 engine - factory with Volvo"s Lamda Sond system.One area has been repaired, due to rust: the right rear wheelhouse quarter, in the trunk compartment.Sunroof, cassette player, A/C.Buyer is responsible for pick-up; cash or cashier"s check only.
