    I gave my '84 242 intercooled turbo a rotisserie restoration over the past few years. Now it's probably one of the cleanest (and most powerful) 242 turbos in the US. It's my pride and joy. It was my first car and I've owned it for 20+ years.

    Hey!! Great car! These 242's have been sold allover aurope and there's quite alot of them in scandinavia, so there's loads of them there. I have one of the European 242 DL's in the UK that i have imported a few years ago that i am working on currently.
    Great work!

      It's a solid car and not so many as you might think this side of the pond. Look after it as it's a classic.👌🏾

    I bought a 1982 242 glt a few weeks ago and has remain stock for all his 40 years. Now that I have it, I still debating if to keep it stock or upgrade suspension, turbo add intercooler and more. Car has about 235,000 miles. Are these car worth more stock or slightly modified? No swap or things like that.

      I think you can upgrade this car without losing any money on it as there are not so many of them around these days.

    I own one of these. That's not a real turbo. The coffin hood, N/A intake manifold and 2.3L engine were not options on the GLT versions. This is (like mine) just a normal 242 with a turbo slapped on the engine (as god intended). They made tons of these all over the world, not rare at all. The actual turbos (flat hoods) are very very rare indeed.

      @@CarsofSwedenlive, awesome. Thanks for the information. I can't wait to buy some Volvos 😊👌🏼
      I got 1% Swedish in my DNA and that 1% is making me want to buy a few Volvo cars
      I would love to restore the one my son bought and drive it to a show in Sweden. What are the popular Volvo shoes in Sweden?
