[@dl242ti]

Hey Dean, That car is a GL model from what I know of 240s. The Corona wheels, sunroof, tachometer that's missing, and the electric windows all mean a GL model 240. Good save! If the seats have the rear pockets on the back then it's def a GL.

[@DeanofMachines]

You have absolutely nailed it! I'm trying to track down the correct tach. It might just end up with a clock though.

[@GettingGood]

Good to know the rear pockets vs non rear pockets ! Didn't know there was a dif option!

[@Azureecosse]

I actually thought this was a two tone model similar to which I had owned many years ago, it looks fantastic, nice find. That black mould looks like it preserved the paint work from the elements. Wish I had found this but would be hard as I am 5000 miles away in Northern Europe.

[@DeanofMachines]

I thought the same thing initially. The black goo on top looked some what like tar. I could barely scratch it off with a finger nail. The paint on the roof/hood/trunk is scratched and sun faded quite a bit. Well beyond the polishing point. It does clean up nicely as a survivor though!

[@TheTiloalfa6]

@@DeanofMachinesI thought the same two tone thing too! Are you sure a really thorough cut n polish wouldn’t cut the scratches n sun damage out? I’ve seen paint jobs that I thought were done and just gave a cut n polish a try anyway for the hell of it and it came up like new! Took a whole day or two though haha

I use to own a Volvo 244 GLT 1980 model and I was under 30. I had also owned a 1973 144 DL. Which I bought at 25. So not all drivers of Volvo's are old. Both those Volvo's were great to drive and wish I still had the 240 GLT. 0 to 60 in 8.3 second no slouch.

[@johnlorrieboskovic2836]

Just found your channel and you had me at "Volvo 240!" I've always wanted one of these. For me, the late '70's/early '80's Volvos were peak Volvo, if you will. Utility, durability and not without a fun to drive component. Before I leave these earthly bounds I would love a turbo wagon, but for sure a clean 240 would be fine by me.

[@DeanofMachines]

Welcome to the channel!! Turbo swaps are easy enough!

[@timojokela4554]

I was hit by a last series Volvo Amazon in factory plastics in 1970 when I was 10 years old. The car was in a car shop in the same house where I lived as a child. I hung out there and admired this solid car with room for long legs and the car was quite impressive. Later, PV-544 Volvos and Amazons as well as 140 serials were tuned with 45 mm double webers and the C-cam and larger intake valves were machined into the cover etc. An infinitely strong car, e.g. the gearbox can withstand tremendous torque as standard. I wonder why Volvo has compromised on legroom, e.g. the V50 Volvo has no rear legroom at all? These Volvos also have good door handles like the V70 MK2 Volvo too. Works better in winter than the pull-out handle. Good Swedish! Now I'm driving my third V70, which is a MK3 2.5 AFV. Bifuel. DAS car too!

[@DeanofMachines]

Its funny how we can stick to Volvos for so long. They really were built very well

[@workshop_deluxe2493]

Is there any explanation why there is a country label from Czechoslovakia at the back? Beside that: great video, keep up the excellent spirit. Chris

[@DeanofMachines]

No real explanation other than, sometimes here in the stats people put the stickers to show an area of origin or race.

[@jamtland84]

Swedish steel and quality, A Volvo in that condition here in Sweden you’ll have to pay 3-5000 US dollars and probably 7-8 if it was clean inside and running!! But a - for the bad automatic gearbox, should be a 5 gear manual!!👌🏻

Volvo didnt have rollcages in the cars during rally. Because the pillarstructure was so robust. Volvo also invented the 3-point seatbelt. We joke about them in scandinavia about being a tank.

[@gastonsolleveld7399]

Great find! I have currently an almost exact one as yours, it’s an ‘84 silver, sunroof, corona wheels, only mine has blue velour interior, my guess is you found either an 83 or 84, can’t wait to see the follow up !

[@DeanofMachines]

Funny how all these 84s seem to be very similar in options. This one is an 84 244 GL

[@bobjohnson205]

@@DeanofMachines Volvo pretty much built the same car (In DL or GL trim levels) but in different exterior and interior colours and any options that the buyer wanted were added by the dealership. It wasn't like buying a GM, Chrysler or Ford product where you checked off the box of what options you wanted installed at the factory and then waited 6 weeks for your car to be delivered to the dealership. It was a much different - and perhaps simpler - ordering process. If you wanted a sunroof, air, alloy wheels, metallic paint, etc., then you ordered a GL. If you didn't then you ordered a DL.

[@DeanofMachines]

Funny how these cars just get forgotten!

[@AndrewMurray-u9l]

@@DeanofMachines It was a GLE not I but it’s an injection too not a GLi. In Western countries cars are like fashion & many people’s ego cannot stand being seen by others driving what’s perceived as an old out of fashion car it’s got to be the latest model with all the toys etc Also some people abandon cars when things go wrong & if they cannot fix it themselves or have no tools or money to get someone else to fix the car, people die or have accidents or go to jail or move away & so many other factors that can explain why cars get abandoned? In some countries like in the UK 🇬🇧 every year a car over 3 years old needs to get an inspection to check it is roadworthy sometimes the bill to make it roadworthy is not economically viable? Sometimes the chassis is rotten .

[@MS-yy2dh]

These are great cars. I owned a 1981 244 DL (2.1l) for 25 years and covered 300k miles. We tend to get more rust here in the UK, so that eventually finished it off. I now have an 850, which I have owned for 30 years (220k miles). My view is that although the 200s were far more durable than the competition here in the UK in their day, the 850 is the slightly more reliable and durable car.

Maybe dont stand right in line with the cable.... nice to see a volvo being allowed to be resurected rather than parted or crushed.

[@DeanofMachines]

Thats true! We should be conscious of cable safety even if we’re making easy moves

If you make it run well and fix the interior, this car would be $10,000+ here in sweden. Likely higher due to the lack of rust and the sunroof. You'd think we'd have a lot of them, but it's the other way around. They were basicly just scrapped or used in destruction derby-like races. And the quad lights were american market only so they are sought after as well.

Its too bad it would cost several thousand to ship!

[@Thomas1984.]

You can ship it to the Netherlands first. This is around a 1000 euro’s (1200 dollar). From there to Sweden is easy peasy. I don’t think it’s thousands of dollars

[@DeanofMachines]

@@Thomas1984. by the time its transported and paperwork and bonding fees, you’ll easily break 2k in shipping. Im willing to find out if youd like to foot the bill!!!

Notice when you high press wash you even wash dirt in between the rubberlists and the cromelists to the body sheet

[@DeanofMachines]

You are correct my friend! We have a very crude wash setup so we try to take care of or drains and trim as much as possible
