Wtf are we looking at? Weird angle, blurry photo of some vin


Come on, do better

VIN shows engine code 47 - which should be B21F (I think).

I got some film developed from a toy camera that I've been using. This was in inner south east, Portland, around 2020. I couldn't get the vin to this '78, but I did leave a note and heard nothing back, there is a license plate though. Maybe someone knows where it ended up, it had a R sport cluster.

Found this the other day and posted in showroom for someone to go snatch up some parts.

Just Picked this up, 242GT unfortunately without original engine and manual Chassis #2428M1162467

 

[Hodginsa]

I went and looked at a 1978 242gt today... Seems to be in good enough condition for here in Canada. Has an R-Sport Steering wheel and everything original it seems. Thinking I might get it. Comes with a couple of 140s as a package.

 

[John242Ti]

^Looks to be a '79, probably early production, though. Doesn't look too rotten, at least.

You're right 24245M3159405

So I went back, gave it another once over and gave the guy the cash. And made a deal with another TBer(who can make themselves known if they want) to take the 140s.

It's bothering me how this never got updated

The wheels were necessary to actually make it roll. It looks so good from this angle now though. Really sweet car. I'm stoked, even though it's not mine

COUNT: 62

Out of approx 22,000 242s, how many were GTs?

Numbers by country would be cool...

US: TB count - 26
Canada: TB count - 7 (estimated 200 in black)
Finland: 7
Sweden: 5
Switzerland: 2
Poland: 1
Australia: TB count - 6 (338 registered in Aus - according to Volvo club of Victoria)
NZ: TB count - 8 (8 in total)


Who cares? Well they are climbing in value over here, especially coz we got B23 with H cam and there are'nt many left. No other 242s ever made it down here is NZ!

Anyway, thought this may be of interest to others with a GT. Post your chassis number, country and pics here and I will update the list.

[Mueller]

I think you use /sml either side of image link to create a small image link
