Volvo 242 GT (1979) for Sale in RI

This 1979 Volvo 242 GT is a well-maintained and tastefully modified example, having undergone refurbishment with attention to both cosmetic and mechanical details. Finished in silver with GT-specific black and red stripes, it features a flat hood, fog lights, and pop-out rear windows, making it stand out with its vintage yet sporty appearance. The car is powered by a rebuilt 2.1L inline-four engine with an IPD VX camshaft kit and paired with a four-speed manual transmission with electric overdrive. The suspension has been upgraded with IPD sport springs, Bilstein touring struts, and additional performance components, ensuring enhanced handling. The exterior is complemented by 15-inch Virgo alloy wheels wrapped in Continental tires, while the braking system includes four-wheel discs with red-painted calipers. Inside, the cabin features reupholstered black cloth seats with red accents, a hand-crank sunroof, and a JVC stereo connected to aftermarket speakers. The air conditioning system has been rebuilt, and a quartz analog clock adds a classic touch. The car also includes a GT-branded four-spoke steering wheel, a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, and a clean dashboard layout.
