Volvo 242 GT B21 — 1978

Before the turbo, this was the coolest Volvo car in the 1970s. Excellent collector's condition. One of Sweden's best original unrenovated GT cars.

Facts about the model

Modellen kom 1978 och såldes bara i två år i Sverige innan den ersattes av 240 Turbo.
242 GT var populär i USA och i Kanada. Där såldes dessa bilar även som årsmodell 1980 och 1981. Sista året - 1981 -kunde man i USA och Kanada 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 coupè, som bara hade 10 hk mer i sin 6 cyl motor). 242 GT är idag den mest sällsynta av Volvo 240 modellerna i samlarkretsar vill vi påstå.

Auction information

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
