Description of 1974 Volvo 142

Very nice A + Driver condition 1974 Volvo 142. This is the final year for the 140 series cars. I obtained this 142 last year in trade for another one of my classic Volvo's and I've since acquired a 145 wagon. I prefer the wagons and that's why I'm selling this coupe. It had been restored by a previous owner which also included some performance tweeking:
performance camnew headerschrome cylinder headan aggressive sounding performance exhaustupgraded radiator fan
This is a true 4-speed (no overdrive) that shifts and drives really well. There's no power steering so you can work your muscles while you carve back country roads. Under the hood is Volvo's B20 engine with the Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection system. There is a slight clacking noise while at idle which my vintage Volvo mechanic tells me is a wrist pin bushing ($5 each at IPD).
While the speedometer works, and all other gauges work (even the clock!), the odometer does not and currently shows 57,400 miles (true mileage unknown). A/C is in the car but it is blowing warm air. It could need a charge or new pressure hoses, I have not had the a/c serviced. There's a custom fitted dash cover over a very good original dash with a few minor cracks in the usual places for most Volvo 140/240 series cars. The original radio has been upgraded to a Kenwood cd am/fm stereo with 4 speakers (two under the front seats and two box speakers on the rear deck lid).
The interior is in excellent condition (see all photo's)... very nice original headliner and carpet with all original seating surfaces showing minor wear but no rips or tears. Custom Coco mats front and rear.
The exterior has a combination of very nice original and some areas repainted over the years...you'll see the typical small nicks and scratches etc but from 10 feet it's a real looker. The trunk is huge and has the original trunk mat. There is no rust on this car except for typical surface rust underneath- see photo's)
There are 4 excellent Kumho 15 inch tires running on rare Volvo turbo "Virgo" wheels.
Included: owners manual, shop manual, some extra parts
I have this Volvo advertised locally and on a few other classic car sites so the auction may be ended at any time. While not a show car, you'd be hard pressed to find another this nice still on the road as the 140 series cars are by far the rarest in the Volvo community. Questions?...happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability (I'm mechanically challenged, LOL)- just send an email through the Ebay mail system and I'll get back to you asap.
Personal inspections are encouraged... the car is garaged in Central Virginia, about 2 hours drive southwest of Washington DC and within a few miles of the airport in Charlottesville.
