1983 Volvo 242 Turbo. Vcoa Best Of Show Winner - Fully Restored on 2040-cars

The 242 Turbo in front of you is a fully restored car that was saved from certain death. It had been parked in 1992 and left to die. Fortunately, it was left under a cover that protected the vehicle from most elements but did nothing for the paint. We trailered it home and stripped the entire interior and cleaned and catalogued all of the parts making a list of new parts that were needed. The car was then taken to Vern's Imports in Kansas City where mechanical repairs were made. A rebuilt engine was installed as the original had seized from sitting. A completely new fuel system was installed from the fuel tank, fuel pump and fuel accumulator. A new wiring harness was installed as the original had deteriorated. New IPD Sport Suspension springs were installed which lowered the car approximately 1 1/2" - 2" inches and the shocks were checked but were fine. The car was then taken in to receive new paint work which included removing a couple of small dents via paintless dent repair and then having two areas of rust removed and new metal welded in. To give the car a modern look a set of 18" Pegasus wheels from a 2004 S60R were installed with 18" Toyo Proxes Tires (205/35/18). To make this combination work custom milled aluminum spacers were made after much research to get the spacing correct. These spacers are hub centric which mean they fit the hub exactly as the factory wheels did and then the spacers are wheel centric to meet the specifications of the Pegasus wheel. This assures a perfect fit and ride. The original interior was in need of extensive work. The seats were stripped and rebuilt the interior parts that were there were all cleaned and re-used if possible. New door panels and rear panels were obtained from a donor car in Pittsburg Kansas and other small interior part were obtained from other vehicles in the Midwest. Fortunately, the carpet was rolled up and set on the rear deck and in perfect condition. After the restoration was complete we took the car to many shows across the Midwest. 2009 VCOA Midsommar National show in Tulsa, Oklahoma - 1st Place 240 Class and Best of Show - Volvo with Attitude. 2009 COR Classic Car Show - 1st Place - beating all cars at the show in its age group including American Iron Mustangs, Corvettes, Camaros, etc. 2010 VCOA Midsommar National show in Kansas City, Missouri - 1st Place 240 Class and Best of Show - Volvo with Attitude 2010 COR Classic Car Show - 2nd Place 2011 VCOA Midsommar National show in Salina, Kansas - 1st Place 240 Class I have receipts for the major work that was done on the car and can send those to serious buyers.

I want to get this car into the hands of someone that will take it and enjoy it.
