This 1983 Volvo 242 GLT Turbo is believed to have been registered in North Carolina since new, and it is finished in Redwood Metallic over tan cloth upholstery. Power is provided by a turbocharged 2.1-liter inline-four linked to a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Equipment includes 15″ five-spoke alloy wheels, a sunroof, a front spoiler, pop-out rear vent windows, air conditioning, an aftermarket stereo system, and power windows and locks. Recently acquired by the selling dealer, this 242 shows 164k miles and is offered with a window sticker, owner’s manuals, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean North Carolina title.
The car is finished in Redwood Metallic with black trim and bumpers. Exterior details include a front spoiler, fog lights, a sunroof, front and rear mudflaps, pop-out rear-quarter windows, and a rear tow bar.
Silver-finished 15″ five-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with older 205/65 Michelin XH4 All Season tires. Braking is provided by four-wheel discs, the fronts of which are ventilated.
The front bucket seats and the rear bench are upholstered in tan cloth, and the door panels are trimmed to match. Additional appointments include air conditioning, power windows and locks, a rear window defroster, and a Pioneer CD stereo connected to a trunk-mounted a/d/s amplifier.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames an 85-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level, while an analog clock is housed in the center of the dashboard along with additional gauges for turbo boost, oil pressure, voltage, and outside temperature. The six-digit odometer shows 164k miles, approximately 50 of which were added under current ownership.
The turbocharged 2.1-liter B21FT inline-four was factory rated at 127 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
The window sticker lists initial delivery to Bob Barbour Inc. in Greenville North Carolina, factory colors and equipment, and a total suggested retail price of $17,080.80.
The Carfax report indicates no accidents or other damage while listing history in North Carolina.
