Basic Description
Most people want attention from their cars; exhaust, systems, and/or speed. I could care less. I'd rather have serious people give it serious attention. This is not a car to be appriciated by everyone. As for the car, the interior is impeccable; the dash is intact and not cracked, shift knob, seats, belts, etc. all stock and in near perfect condition. There was a problem with the drivers seat, the seat was worn out and used sit fairly low. Outside, the paint is original and surprisingly not faded or oxidized, but the sun roof and the trunk have oxidized slightly. It came with several mods already on it, but I plan to do more with money permitting. I appologize for the quality of some pics, they're all with my camera phone

I use ipd parts and accessories; ipd

Hello Treve, Have an original 1979 242 GT. Will post images soon. Looking for an original grill. Does anyone have out there have an original grill in grey or black? Your GT is beautiful. A wonderful specimen. Please keep it on the road. The 242 Gt IS one of Volvo's best. Elated to see that there are a select few purists that continue to appreciate these fine vehicles. Cheers Malcolm
