'83 volvo 242 tubo for sale $500!
May 25, 2016 11:00PM
Here is my trusty old steed up for sale, sadly I am needing something that is a bit more modern and was hoping that this well pedigree'd TSD car can find a new home.

It has been with me for 5+ years and has done many gravel events Including the 2012 Winter Alcan 5000

It has the B21ft with the old Kjet injection system

Poor mans coilovers up front running under dampened kybs (I have blown bilstiens that can be rebuilt) on 225lb springs
bilstein Hd rears on wagon springs.

I have many random assortments of parts:

Spare fender drivers side (its blue)
Thule roof racks, with large custom roof basket (no extra charge for it)
many relays, bolts, wiring connectors
2 sorry worn out turbos (hey you like scrap?)
1 decent turbo off of a 740
Rear trailing arm bushings (the hard ones to replace)
Center driveline bushing and bearing
plus more I probably forgot about

Its drivable but needs passenger side ball joint (replaced other side after encounter with immovable object) new sway bar linkage on drv side( swaybar is disconnected at the moment.)

I am in West Seattle but will be moving the car to Federal Way, Wa in a week.

Give me a call at 425 445 7195

Take a nice drive to the east coast and add another zero to the price. Free vacation, plus bonus cash.

I think you're a little late.

He sent me a message asking if it would be a good TSD car, so I think he saw it as a way to dip his toe in for cheap. Cross border red-tape slowed his reaction time.

Hopefully the car will see continued use rather than being tucked away for future considerations.
