a 242 being too big?

Yeah, for me. I prefer small RWD cars likened to go karts.

TE27, AE86, TA22 Celica, MX5/Miata, Datsun 610, E30, E21, 2002, MK1-2 Escorts etc.

Always liked RWD Volvos.

I had a 242 GT, it was a cool car but just too big. Sold it off and it's currently being built for drift.


A 360GL with B23 & 5 speed would make a pretty cool, cheap slider.

sup nigga. are you still on turbopricks?
Are you going to fix ze rust on the uber rare 83 homo 242?
IMO, it'd be a fun welding project.

I browse. And hell nah. After H20 I'm not gonna be able to drive the car anymore. I'm doin some work today, you'll see ;)

lulz most every single one i come across is stick, and from my understanding i'm pretty sure they have very little power, under the 130hp range and i'm sure they weigh a ton.
but you could always throw a fat tarbo on one :D

You must be lucky. Automatic volvos must be a south texas thing haha.

[freeride53]

Yeah, manuals are definately rarer on the old Volvos....
But for some reason in the San Francisco bay area, there are a lot more.
Our 240 is a 1991 Model that my parents brought back from Sweden, so it has a lot of the rarer options, ie: 5-speed manual
