my mom always told me, that my first car has to be an old Volvo or an old Saab (because of safety). well, I guess I'll tell her, that I'll have a Volvo 240 then :D
I agree those 240s are not a very popular body chassis with the tuning crowd but people still mod them. For Volvo I'd go for more of a P1800 or 1800S model and mount a straight six or four cyl turbo. If you like a box style chassis then go with a BMW E30.
All these people chatting about having 1000bhp cars, we all know youre chatting shit, you'd be scared pulling away in a car with that let alone launching it. Youve probably got a crap corsa lowered 40mm.
@keyofdavid888 A 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 lays down around 370rwhp. Just because a brochure says a car makes 'x' amount of horsepower doesn't mean it will put that much horsepower to the ground. You have to factor in the loss of power through the drivetrain (transmission, flywheel, driveshaft, etc.)
@SickG6 Well I heard it was 412 REAR WHEEL hp but if you're right then that's cool. I was just making a point to Mr Germany there. Would also add that we have to deal with making those hp numbers on much lower octane gas.
we gots a volvo in the duke city with MADDDD horses... idk what he runnin but this sleeper will eat anything its awesome. LOVE dope volvos even tho im a subi owner myself
240 is a fucking shit car! but u never se a 240 with a original engine with that hp... you still have to replace the engine to another engine, it must be the original engine if there will be a genuine volvo else is just a scam volvo else!
@9999problems haha are you retarded or just really slow? I know a original red block volvo engine with close to 1000horses.
and if I have to spell it out to you yes he changed the interior for better stuff. and besides that engine a also know a completly original engine that has 350horses.
I love my 240, "re-buying" one I sold two years ago from my neighbor. I wish I never sold it but I'm glad to be getting it back! It is showroom clean...really!
I used to be a parts manager at a volvo dealer, ive seen a lot of odd volvos come through, the ones I remember best were a 67 122s that was immaculate, a 75 164 that was showroom fresh, the owner;'s 58 544 that was v8 powered, and my personal fav. an 86 245 diesel with a v8 conversion. This guy had left is stock down to the wheels and diesel emblems. I still would like to see someone take a 145 and put a 160 front clip on it, and make a 165.
Yeah ... sounds good, and the wicked burn indicates performance moods besides the power plant. However, get a vertical slat stainless steel or chrome plated grille -- a 240 stock grille ruins it, and requires replacement. With luck you will not hit a pal on a spin-out. Plan to or have you decked out its interior. Suspension moods -- any other pics -- post details, if you would. Thanks.
Good Looking Car and Video!!!! I love the 240s. Could you share your info / specs? I am working on my own 83 GLT 240 2 door. Any info would be greatly appreciated. PS WHAT AR THE WHEELS? NICE!!

I would like to put 400hp in a Volvo wagon (brown or beige) and get some slightly wider but stock looking Volvo steel wheels (the ones with a beauty cap in the center) and pull up next to someone in some flash car and make them eat rubber.
@thatmuse76 I pull up to people all the time with my Volvo S70 and surprise the crap out of them when I whip past them like they're standing still as the boost hits 18psi ;P
ok its official. I'm selling my trans am to get a volvo 240. If I can access performance parts here in the states I'll use the 240 to blow the doors off of every damn foxbody mustang that tries to race me (which is all of them)
@golfraggarn i just doubt it is, my cousin have a 242 turbo which has 412bhp, and it takes a burnout much easier than this one + this one is to "lazy" to have 400bhp, it would increase the RPM much faster... But it could be 400bhp altho i doubt it is...
@Kneedeepingore maybe hes an better tuner? just because this has 400hp doesnt mean it should go better than your cousin. Maybe he doesnt give full throttle? or maybe just the clip makes it looks slow, thats the most truly
How do I do this to my moms 1980 240!!!!
