Found this one advertised on Facebook Marketplace in April 2021.Asking $11,000 at the time, I thought it was a buit steep - but the car is actually a CAMS log booked and approved race car, (roll cage seats etc all fitted). The car apparently has a long history of competing in Australia in rally (desert) and tarmac events. Looks complete, but very rough (to be expected). Could be a great project if you were wanting to race a classic Volvo in Australia - most things are there, just needs a tidy up. Check out the other GVolvo 242 GTs on the register - and if you have one, add yours!
