This 1974 Volvo 142 was acquired by the seller out of New Hampshire in 2016. It now shows approximately 126k miles and is powered by a 2,139cc inline-four mated to a four-speed manual transmission with Laycock overdrive. The car is finished in maroon over a black and light gray interior, and amenities include Procar front seats, a short shifter, and replacement carpets, door panels, and exterior door handles. Recent service reportedly includes the replacement of the distributor, clutch, and U-joints, and modifications include a Weber 38/38 carburetor, an IPD camshaft, a Cannon intake manifold, and bumper-mounted Hella fog lights. This Volvo 142 is now offered at no reserve with service records and a clean North Carolina title in the seller’s name.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission featuring a Laycock overdrive unit and a replacement Sachs clutch. The seller reportedly replaced the U-joints, carrier bearing, front cross member, tie rod ends, ball joints, and front stabilizer bushings. An IPD rear axle stabilizer bar was added during previous ownership. The suspension bushings are showing age and will need replacement.
