Summary
This 1979 Volvo 242DL boasts remarkably low mileage, with only 55k miles shown on the odometer, and was stored by its original owner for 25 years. It features a 2.1L fuel-injected inline-four paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission, benefiting from a 2014 mechanical refreshment and 2017 fuel system and brake overhaul. The car includes a manual sunroof, tinted glass, and a brown fabric interior, with a Volvo radio/CB unit to be included.
