'84 244 TiA VS '79 242 GT 200

posted by  someone claiming to be dlot on  Thu Oct 31 13:10 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hmmm...Let's see. Totally cool 2dr GT or a 4dr auto turbo? You answered your own
question just the way you wrote your post. There really isn't a much better or
cooler 240 to have as a toy than a 2dr GT. The only one I personally prefer over
the GT is a 2dr turbo. But, the handling of my old 1979 2dr DL that was my first
Volvo is something I'll always miss. The early lighter 240 series can really be
setup to handle great and the 79 GT setup is a really nice factory suspension.

Sounds like the GT is a manual. A toy Volvo is best as a manual and it's alot
of work to convert a car. Wish you well with your choice. Happy Rolling!
