1983 Volvo 242 Glt Group A Homologation on 2040-cars
Year:1983
Mileage:138000

This listing is for a 1983 Volvo 242 GLT Group A Homologation. It has the factory 2.1L intercooled-turbo motor. I installed a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive last year. It is also running the factory 3.92 rear end. It has current registration and is driven every weekend.
This car is special as there were very few (less than 500) factory intercooled models in 1983. These cars also had a special front grille and hood that is very sought after in the Volvo world. Being a GLT model, it has power windows, door locks, and mirrors. The mirrors weren't working when I got it. I never diagnosed the issue, but the windows and locks work well. It has factory air-conditioning, but would require at least a recharge to be functioning. The heater works fantastic though. The power steering works perfect. The car came with cruise control, but it wasn't working when I got it. I removed the under-hood pieces to it to clean up the engine bay, but it is all included with the car. First the bad. It needs an exhaust. My local shops wanted between $250-$300 for complete replacement. It is broken off just in front of the rear end. This just happened a couple of weeks ago. The clutch also slips under full boost in 4th and 5th gears. 1st through 3rd have been fine, I'm guessing due to the rear end ratio. 4th and 5th only slips here and there and only at full boost. All gears shift well and the electronic overdrive works fine also. The brakes, tires, and suspension are all in good condition. The front struts were replaced a few weeks ago. The front springs have been cut to lower the car a couple of inches. The rear springs have been replaced with cut 240 wagon springs. I have the factory rear coils and can include them or install them in the car. It rides well. My wife can attest to that. I gave it a tune up when I got it a couple years ago. It has only had about 10,000 miles since then. I installed a new timing belt kit at that time also. I cleaned the breather box and intercooler then as well. I have only run full synthetic oil in it since I bought it. The engine runs well, but does take 30 seconds or so to warm up when it's cold outside. I replaced the in-tank fuel pump, main fuel pump, and fuel relay a year ago. The body is straight with very little rust. It does have a thin layer of cheap spray paint on it which is already wearing through. I was going to sand it off this next summer, and it doesn't seem like it would be too difficult on most of the car. The interior is in good shape minus the seats. The back seat is well cracked along the top. I have a black replacement top for the rear shelf. The gauges have Dave Barton overlays on them that are a year old. All of the gauges work well. The factory speedo was an 85 MPH unit that I swapped for a 120 MPH unit right after getting the car. I have the 85 MPH unit that will be included with the car. I love this car. It is the pinnacle of all of the Volvo's I have owned. I'm replacing it with a 240 wagon as it is a more family-friendly vehicle. If you need any other pictures or have any questions, please feel free to contact me. |

US could get Chinese Volvos soon, possibly Geely joint-venture subcompact?
Tue, 28 Jan 2014After a little more than three years since Volvo was acquired by China's Geely, it was only a matter of time before products from this marriage started to show up in the US. Although nothing seems to be written in stone, Automotive News is reporting that the US could be getting Chinese-made Volvos sooner rather than later.
In speaking with AN, Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said that Chinese Volvos could be exported to the US "fairly quickly," and while there was no word on any specific models being considered, the article points out that the S60 (shown above) is already being produced locally in China at a Volvo plant. Another possibility is the next-gen V40, which has reportedly received plenty of support from US Volvo dealers. Regardless of which model it is, Samuelsson doesn't seem too worried about a "Made in China" car receiving a negative reaction by US consumers, pointing to all the other Chinese products sold here.
On a global scale, AN is also reporting that Geely is working on a new subcompact platform co-developed with Volvo to compete against cars like the Honda Fit, Ford Fiesta and VW Polo. There is no word as to whether or not this Geely-branded model would be coming to the US, but just last year, we heard that the Chinese automaker is looking to break into the US market by 2016.

Volvo rolls out new R-Design versions of S60, XC60 and new V60
Wed, 27 Mar 2013Volvo has put together R-Design packages for its newly facelifted S60, V60 and XC60 models, and for those who want more bark to go with them, there's a power upgrade for the S60 and V60 courtesy of Polestar performance. The aesthetics start with new front and rear fascias, the grille going frameless and Tech Matte Black with a silk metal diagonal bar, the back end getting a finned diffuser and round R-Design tailpipes. On top of that, the S60 and V60 are lowered 15 millimeters and can be fitted with 19-inch versions of the company's Ixion wheel pattern.
The R-Design sport chassis stiffens things up, items like the rear dampers getting 20-percent stiffer while front bushings get a whopping 400-percent stiffer. Inside there's a black headliner, perforated leather mixed with nubuck and contrasting stitching on the sport seats, or a full leather option for those who love their cow, and the Adaptive Digital Display gets a blue hue when set to the Elegance appearance theme.
Buyers of the 3.0-liter T6 engine can add the Polestar performance option, which cranks things up to 329 horsepower instead of the standard 304 hp, and an exclusive accelerator pedal comes with it. More detail can be found in the press release below.
