This 1985 Volvo 244 sedan was acquired by the seller in 1999, and subsequent work has involved installing a 331ci stroker V8 and a Tremec TKO 600 five-speed manual transmission, refinishing the car in red, and replacing the exhaust system and suspension components. Additional modifications are said to include a COMP Cams camshaft, aluminum cylinder heads, shorty headers, a Centerforce clutch, a lightweight flywheel, and Bilstein shocks. The car is also equipped with beige cloth upholstery, 14″ pressed steel wheels, power steering, an aluminum shift knob, an AM/FM cassette stereo, and aftermarket speakers. The fuel pumps, fuel filter, and battery were reportedly replaced in 2023. This 244 sedan is now offered with partial service records, spare parts, and a clean New Jersey title in the seller’s name.
