Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    A 240 GT with US specification has a slightly weaker engine than the European export version. Included in the purchase comes a set of shock absorbers and wheel bearings.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is intact, but needs a thorough cleaning, washing, reconditioning and assembly. Fun comes with original sports gauges from the accessories catalogue of the time. Original US spec. instrument panel is replaced to a metric and the older one is included.

  • Exterior condition:

    It’s freshly repainted with nice bodywork, never repaired or suffered from rust damaged. The rear right back decal is a little off position and has new side emblems and extra light in the grill.

  • General condition:

    An early GT sold on the original market in USA. It is not so easy for Volvo collectors to find fresh GT example, so here is a great opportunity fro you.

Facts about the model

Modellen kom 1978 och såldes bara i två år i Sverige innan den till 1980 ersattes av 240 Turbo.
242 GT var populär i USA och Canada. Där såldes dessa bilar även som årsmodell 1980 och 1981. Sista året, 1981 kunde man i USA och Canada även köpa bilmodellen med svart kulör och röda dekorränder på utsidan samt Turbons fälgar och frontspoiler.
I Sverige ansågs de för dyra, nästan 30% dyrare än en vanlig 242 DL. (Men ändock 20% billigare än 262 Bertone coupe, som hade 10 Hkr mer i sin 6 cyl motor).
242 GT är idag en av den mest sällsynta av Volvo 240 modellerna, som sålts i Sverige.
