Bought another Volvo 1983 242 Group A Turbo!
I traded the last 242 for the Bertone. I missed it and have been looking for one for weeks. I never thought that I would find a group A car, but I did. The only thing that I don't like about it is that it's an automatic, but I can always change that.
      I have already fixed the driver's seat that was in poor condition. I need to install original speakers back in the door panel, install the proper quad square lights, and a couple of other things. This is the third 242 that I have owned, but, it's got a good body and something that is worth working with.

Sorry, what's a "Group A"? I would like to educate myself on Volvos if I ever completely drain the world of MBs

Congrats on your turbo brick!!
The 242 was called the "Toonderbird" by the snarks at Car and Driver, as I recall. <------- Nevermind them.
