1979 Volvo 242 Gt 240 Series on 2040-cars
Tampa, Florida, United States
|
What can I say! This is a rare condition 1979 242 GT, a member of the famous 240 series family of Volvos. This model was only made from 1978-1980. In 1981 they renamed this model the 240 Turbo. I am the third owner of this car and bought it from a collector's warehouse called Exotic Classics. This car has been babied and maintained and I have all the records to include the original purchase order in 1979.
This car comes with: -Brand new tires w/reconditioned Virgo wheels
- Also included are the original GT wheels with new Pirelli tires -New air conditioner -New fuel injectors -New audio system -New alternator
Inspection Report from Steve Linden (available upon request), author of Car Collecting: Everything You Need to Know and who has done much work with Jay Leno on his vehicles. "Overall the vehicle presents very well. Fit of body panels is as new and finish of body panels is very good but not perfect, with any minor defects noted in the report. Body panels are straight and the paint exhibits a very nice luster. The vehicle appears to be free of accident damage/repair and rust damage/repair. The interior is in excellent condition, exhibiting little if any wear and tear with any defects noted in the report. The engine bay and truck are original and un-detailed and present very well. It must be observed that the undercarriage is in remarkable condition for a vehicle of this age. There is virtually no weather related degradation. One must be led to the conclusion that this vehicle has been garaged its entire life, and used sparingly, if ever, in snow or rain. All maintenance is up to day and everything on the vehicle functions properly. The engine starts easily with no smoke or unusual sounds. After a few seconds it settles into a smooth idle. The engine accelerates aggressively and the transmission shifts smoothly through the gears. The car stops in a straight line even under heavy braking. There are no unusual squeaks or rattles. The vehicle is a pleasure to drive." Everything works on this car: gauges, fog lights, clock, air conditioner, new audio system, electronic overdrive, and the sunroof (no leaks)
There are some normal wear areas and dings in the paint but overall this car needs absolutely nothing done to it; I drive it every day and recently took it on a 7 hour road trip from Tampa to Lynn Haven…no issues! There are no rust areas but the window tint could use a new application. Please feel free with email me to request custom pictures. I will even entertain phone calls w/serious interested buyers to enable you to ask all the questions you can think of.
There will be a $1000 deposit (negotiable) within 3 days of the end of the auction. I will help arrange shipping if needed but will not pay for it; I am located in Tampa Florida. Please ensure you click on the large picture to scroll through them all, there are some pictures that do not show up on the camera roll below the main picture. There are a total of 23 pictures on there. Good Luck! |

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Volvo Concept XC Coupe leaked [w/video] [UPDATE]
Tue, 07 Jan 2014Last month, Volvo gave us a teaser of its new Concept XC Coupe, set to debut at the Detroit Auto Show. And now, just a few days before the doors open at Cobo Hall, leaked images of the stylish new crossover showcar have leaked online, courtesy of CarBuyer.co.uk.
The Concept XC Coupe is a sort of high-riding successor to the very attractive Concept Coupe that wowed us at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. With its burlier dimensions and hatchback configuration, the Concept XC gives us a better glimpse at Volvo's new styling direction, which is expected to debut in production form on the next-generation XC90 crossover. We've already seen some leaked sketches of the new XC90, and it sure does look like this Concept XC.
We don't have any further details about the Concept XC Coupe, but from the images, we can see that it will use a four-passenger seating configuration, with rear seats that fold flat. There are also exterior badges for surround radar and a 360-degree camera system, suggesting some new safety tech fitting of safety-minded brand.
Volvo Concept Estate hauls in great expectations [w/videos]
Wed, 05 Mar 2014You're looking at the third leg of Volvo's award-winning concept trilogy, the Concept Estate. Despite its banal name, this sweeping longroof showcar has our attention like few other cars at the Geneva Motor Show.
It's not just that we have a weakness for shooting brakes or Volvo's take on the genre in particular (we can see some P1800ES in this design). We just think this car is exceptionally well surfaced, with a fantastic stance and the sort of clean lines that are singularly appropriate of a Scandinavian design. We also appreciate the details that are expected to inform future production models, including the T-shaped headlamps, strong rear shoulders and floating grille mount. In fact, the vast majority of the Concept Estate's design idiom is expected to make it to showrooms in future models, starting with the long-overdue, second-generation XC90 crossover.
We hope - but don't expect - that attitude carries over to the interior, which has stunning, white leather, floating clamshell seats backed in plaid. If there's one cabin feature that's expected to make it to production, it's a derivative of the car's new infotainment system, which features a massive touchscreen with tablet-like gesture controls.
