1983 Volvo 242

[Nicolaus Pro]

So I'm sure most of you know this car




My boy hit me up a few days ago saying he got a 1983 Turbo flathood in, and I should come check it out. I came with a check and trailer. Paid 350 for it . The interior is straight OG. Factory boost, oil pressue, batt.voltage, analog clock, power windows, sunroof. The body, not so much. There's obviously alot of rust. Whatever. Car runs perfectly.

So basically, this was the car on monday.










And then here is the car today. (wednesday)

i like the profile of the coupe. but the front grille and lights look kinda goofy to me lol

[B Rod]

Thats pretty sweet. Any pics of said interior?

[motocaddy]

the sedan looked great in person at SoWo.

sucks about the rust on the coupe, but glad it gets to roll hard before falling to pieces!

Your missing quite a bit of your fenders, I almost did the same thing with a 84 rabbit, real rusty shitty paint, floors were all there, ran and drove mint had coils and wheels for it, but didnt want the headache.

i love a good low volvo!

Should make rolling the fenders easy! haha

I like it, would make a fun daily, can't beat the price.

Fawk! You did amazing. I want a 242 so bad.

You could sell just the flathood stuff for way more than you paid for it.
