15 x 7 Can-am race rims, were the old performance moulds, but they were redone with modified inner lips so I can bounce off the kerbs on the track ( not bloody likely)nice work. Are those mini lites?, 1980?...added
Roll the fender well lips before you paint.
Shame about the taillights, the 5 panels are much more reliable.
What body colors do you like if not silver?
32: BigBossMan813: 1980:Out of approx 22,000 242s, how many were GTs?
Numbers by country would be cool...
Canada: TB count - 5 (estimated 200 in black)
US: TB count - 16
UK: none
Sweden:?
Norway:?
Germany:?
Netherlands:?
Australia: TB count - 6 (338 registered in Aus - according to Volvo club of Victoria)
NZ: TB count - 4 (8 in total)
Who cares? Well they are climbing in value over here, especially coz we got B23 with H cam and there are'nt many left. No other 242s ever made it here.
Anyway, thought this may be of interest to others with a GT. Post your chassis number, country and pics here and I will update the list.

I have a nice rust free 1978 242GT from California. I had it shipped up last year and I finally got it running today. It needs some TLC, but the body is solid. The VIN number is 133728.
Thanks for creating this registry. Sad to see how many have been crushed...
