Price: $4000
Mileage: 117
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (State): TX
Color: Yellow

More of a feeler as I get to the point of no return and the build gets deeper than planned which will involve major structural surgery.

1978 Volvo 242DL, 117K on body. 98% rust free car from Austin, Texas. Body in great shape, no major damage, glass all good, flat hood car, sunroof.

Parts list:
5.3/4L60E, 140K from 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche-includes complete wiring harness 300hp 320ft/lb (Does not have TAC module,wiring,pedal,ecm,maf)
Full set of new 17x9 Mustang SC style wheels with new 235 and 255 Falken tires
New inner and outer tie rods, boots, ball joints, lower control arm bushings(f+r, installed), poly sway bar bushings, sway bar end links, vented front rotors, hub bearings and seals, ball joints.
Original brown carpet and a black set from a 240
Original haggard back seat
23mm front sway bar and IPD 25mm symetrical rear bar
New braided steel front brake lines
New poly panhard bar bushings
New Bilstein touring shocks(f+r)
New camber plates
Axles and hubs redrilled to 5x4.5(114.3)
New ARP 3" studs
New pair of 25mm 108 to 114.3 adapters(for front)
Recaro seats from VW GLI Jetta(mounted in car)
New sunroof seals
New battery
New street rod style LS1 motor mounts
New Aerosport strut mount airbags with plates
New Slam Specialties double convoluted airbags with plates
Slam specialties dual needle air guages-pair
Slam Specialties tank guage
Used pair of front calipers for vented rotors

It is not a running car, it is a project to be completed by new owner. Engine and trans is sitting in car but not mounted. Most parts are not installed other than front steering parts. Car is located in Dallas, Texas.
$4000 OBO


Would consider splitting the package into:
Car+all volvo parts on stock steelies-$1500
with Mustang wheels/tires and axles-$2500
Engine/trans combo with mounts-$1000

I'm keeping the air ride pieces if parted.

Thanks.
Hate to let it go but I'm not one to sit on a car and let it go to hell because I "think" I'll get to it.
