Future plans? : Drive it and enjoy!
Greg Moisley's car?!?
As far as I know there was no Greg Moisley involved in this car
So, who was the previous owner then? Last time I saw Greg's car was in the mid 1990s at the VCNA open house in Rockleigh, NJ. This one looks a lot like his, but I could be wrong.
It was a guy named Rick who bought it 2 years ago from a guy named Yves in Toronto but I don't know anything before that
It's Greg's car. The description matches. He worked at Lawrence Park Motors in Toronto. I have pictures from NJ.
Wow that's pretty cool
He did an awesome job!
NiceYes. The car looked great when I last saw it. I realy like the powder coated wheels and the ride height. Greg told me the front springs came from an ABS car. I'll see if I can find the pictures I took in NJ.
Thx!SWEEEEEEEEEEEET 242 GT FIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You should just fix what small things need fixing, and leave it 100% original.
And good finds like yours always cost more. But usually end up being cheaper in the long run, as all the hard work is already done.
Congratulations on that beautiful 242GT
I see what your doing ther......yeah less of all that "crap"....Looks excellent.
Needs less switches, less goofy grab handle and less silly seat coin pocket thingy, but these things are all signs it's been owned by a volvo enthusiast who cared about it, so definately a good buy.

Those are all the things I would sell to a guy like me who don't care about excess..
