- We can now present an incredibly nice Volvo 142 Grand Luxe (142GL), painted in Gold Metallic and seats covered in black leather. The car has only 76.000 km on its odometer, and is in incredibly fine condition. This Volvo 142 was sold new by Volvo in Gothenburg to Mr Jonny Nilsson in Alingsås. Until 2012, the car had its home in Alingsås within a Volvo dealer family. The car was repainted during the 90s and still maintains a nice shine, apart from a few minor scratches. It is newly inspected with no remarks and is therefore inspected for the future. The car has nice original ATS rims. The car runs fine in the engine and is really nice to drive. The car comes with a lot of documentation.

Northern Ontario Canadian here: The 74 Volvo 142GL with Mechanical Fuel Injection on that B2000 Red Brick engine was the best Volvo of all time.
Drove many Volvo's; 68 142S, 74 142GL, 76 244DL and my last Volvo an 84 244GL built in New Brunswick Canada which I retired in 2020. Short term driving a 67 123GT and a 72 P1800E Coupe.
Fantastic Cars - Wish Volvo made them like they use to.
Wow!! Thx for the comment @tinymud3324 . Sounds like you are a true Volvo fan!
In 74 Volvo put in the larger Box Main frame in the uni-body 140 that breathed better and a less tendency to rust out but basically from 68 to 86 all doors and glass fit. Just loved that Mechanical Fuel Injected 74 B2000 Engine with the manual 4 Spd Salisbury Tranny and Hone OD and Posi 3:90 rear end - Easy Rev 6800+rpm with a lot of torque.
If you have 68 B2000 with Twin SU's I highly recommend you put in the Marine cam ;o)
In 75 Volvo went with McPherson Strut and the Slant SOHC 4 which lasted to to end of of 240 series.
The car is awesome, spectacular , strong reliable cars in comparison to today*s cars
Color is amazing....1982 my brother bought a 1974 164e....same color and Interior combo....
Thx @billmason. The color is amazing for sure!
This video brings back great memories. My first Volvo was a '74 142. It had the same drivetrain as this one. I owned it just one year before buying a '77 264GL. If my 142 had been equipped with the overdrive manual or the automatic transmission I may have kept it longer. It was a solid, well-built car but I just didn't enjoy having to do my own shifting and with the 4-speed manual it was just too noisy on the highway. The manual was a 'lose-lose' situation for me.
Thank you for sharing your story. It´s a solid brick for sure :)
Oj vad fin. Nostalgi på hög nivå.

@@tomaxcar thanks so much 👌🏼
How much?
I had a 73 142 as my first car. 450.000 km,and still going strong. It had been driven by young ones before me. I treated it very good,and just loved that car. Miss it to this day. Had to sell it for a 78 244L. Also a very good car. Had that one for about 10 years.
Lovely story! Thanks :)
