One of my friends is crazy about Volvos of that vintage.

the 760 was picked up in Dec. of 04 and sat for a few months before I started working on it.
it was not running and the price was 'right'.

my wife has driven it ~23,000 miles in a little over a year. 233,000 or so now.

a few trips to the junk yard and to P(os)1 for some parts she is running pretty good.

the car had a 'hard' life and has some drivetrain noises (LMAO).... but a spare B23FT block is in the garage waiting for a 531 head.

it rides so good.... pimp leather, a/c (143a converted), automajik, cruise, 7 band eq, abs. :drool:

mods:
-ipd 25mm front and rear bars
-poly syspension bushings up front
-OEM big brake kit up front (26mm thick rotor with single piston Lucas calipers)
-lower chassis braces

Not much has been dont to it... it took a little bit of work to get her running well:
-replace the engine wire harness
-new distrubitor
-all service items (cap,wires,t-belt,plugs,filters,etc.)
-front and rear brakes
-tires
-etc.

So what did it put down on the dyno?

an hour till work is over... can't wait to get out and enjoy this day

I still owe you money!!!! All the crap going on with my car, I didnt get a chance to go to the ATM. You will take a couple of coin from me. I wont have it any other way.period

I dont know volvo's that well, just drove the piss out of it. Never had to worry about problems. It moved pretty good, sussy was ok, brakes worked well, and it looked good!

I didn't sleep yet. I woke up a tad bit late yesterday (6 PM).

Wow, that's some nice torque.

Any track pics of the 242?

You should have seen him at CMP!!! Good times

How many ITR's did he roll?

walker111 wrote:You should have seen him at CMP!!! Good times

yep.

no track pictures uploaded... mostly old paper photos from Lowes, Road Atlanta, VIR.

Here is one of the '79 GT on track at CMP.

Reid wrote:How many ITR's did he roll?

just about none... but I did put up a nice smoke screen out of every turn with one wheel peel.

a LSD is on the list of stuff to get.

the sad thing is at CMP for the 't0dd expo she was running crappy.
a little tlc and some parts = happy 242ti.

I need to crank the boost up a little and re-dyno her.
then rip off the mechanical fuel injection and step up to the 80's.

Your cars seem to be in surprisingly good condition compared to the Volvos I see around here.

Are good condition Volvos plentiful near you, or do you just find gems?

lmao... don't look close at the GT... the 'cancer' has a hold of that.

the 242ti is in great shape considering it has 311,000 miles.... the pass. side rear floor board need to be swapped out and the paint is faded.... but that can be fixed.

good condition units are here and there... but I lucked out on the 242ti (sold in London and shipped over). 2 door = sorta rare + factory intercooler = makes it very rare.

gems = just have to look for them
