Advertised on carsales.com.au and in several other places in March 2021, this 242 GT looks in great condition despite fairly high Ks on the clock, and is an original Australian delivered RHD car. I'm always surprised as to how many have survived (read somewhere that there were only 600 sold in AUs?? - but don't have aby significant source to back that up) Well looked after and receipts for all...

Spotted on FB Marketplace in Feb 2020, asking $22,000. Looks to be quite an original example of the 242GT. Not many aronud these days!

Spotted for sale on Ebay in February 2021, this 242 GT is one of just 600 imported into Australia, and a very popular sports version of the Volvo 240 globally, having a strong motorsport connection (see Groupi C racing in Australia).

940T 5 speed swapped 242gt

This example was advertised on Ebay Australia in May 2019. An original car fully complete, but needs a stripe kit added and a bit of TLC. This one has an auto transmission. The seller noted the car was updated with a later B230E and 4 Spd auto. If you've got a 242 GT we'd love to see yours on the register. Sign up and add yours so we can preserve the details of the GTs - see the others on the...

We had spotted this one advertised for some time on Gumtree.com.au in 2018, and early 2019. Te car looks to have a bit of rust but is complete and (we think) worth saving. At the time of offering it was priced under $5,000 AUD. Hefty mileage at nearly 350,000.. Good to see nice examples out there, and doesn't look bad in the two tone paint. There looks to be only a handful of cars on the register...

Another spotted in NZ, this one was advertised in early 2019 - believed to be one of only around 20 left in the country (at least, according to the seller at the time). A high mileage example, but depending on the rust looks to be worth saving, with most parts intact. Seller at the time noted that the car was running. Hopefully someone saved it! Check out the others on the Volvo 242 GT register.

242 GT restoration project spotted on Ebay, located in QLD Australia in December 2018. At the time of offering this one was asking $5,500 buy it now. It's quite rough, but these are now a rare car and having a global presence are internationally becoming very popular. Check out the others on the Volvo 242 GT register.

A solid example of the 242 GT - this one a 1980 model with the front end changed over with 264 parts. This example was offered for sale in October 2018, asking $8,500 - with the seller noting the car is a one owner example.. Interestingly it has a Holden Commodore V6 3.8 ltr from a VN installed, with an auto transmission (this is an engine based on the GM Buick block). The dash has been changed to...

Vehicle has been an SCCA race car for an extended (unknown) period of time

Another 242 GT found for sale in Christchurch, NZ. This one was asking only $4,000 buy it now in November 2017, and has an aftermarket red paint job. The car is also lowered on king springs and has 5 matching alloy wheels. The seller found a good condition 2.3 turbo (B230et) from a 740 turbo. These engines have a better flowing cylinder head known as 531 and bigger turbo making them produce 181bhp...

Advertised on trademe.co.nz in November 2017, not sure of the asking price though. Still with its original Mystic Silver paintwork, this example has relatively high mileage at 300,000, and had been used by the seller at the time as a daily driver. If you have a 242 GT, we'd love to see yours on the register so we can learn more about these rare sporting Volvos - check out the others on the Volvo...
