Impressive. Steering wheel is a bit baroque for me.

The comments section notes the original owner bought the extra wheels and snowtires not long after he got the car. They don't seem to have ever been put on the car. I only saw a couple of the over 200 pics detailing any rust, so my guess is - Garage Queen.
36,000 miles in 40-odd years isn't a lot of exposure.

'83 242 GLT tuner, Robert's friend Dan The Man in Kalamazoo
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1983-volvo-242-glt-3/
Seems well-sorted, Robert is along on a fishing trip vid.
Lots of detailed upgrades, suspension and internals, features a "heckeblende" panel.
Builder seems quite accomplished, I hope it does well.

I'm usually not a big fan of wide whites, but they look right here.

Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.
Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

YIKES !
Not noted in the description if the pine door check is included.

The hood hinge rusted away.
The $1,800 offer would seem more than generous; it was made by somebody who is less than sincere about wanting the car, it is some strange Ego thing to make a bid using the car year or model number just to show the user name to the population. I've never noticed those bidders continuing in any of the auctions they start.

There is a link in the comments section to the build thread on TurboBricks. Quite a voyage, and obviously a car he always intended to drive.matthew1 wrote: ↑17 Nov 2022, 13:25This is a good looking 242.

I think he should get extra credit for taking care of Robert during a difficult time in his life.
A comment from somebody pointed out a rust spot in one of the wheel wells, and that night, Dan fixed it and posted new pics.

BaT sends the high bidder info to the seller, there might be an after auction deal.
