Sleeper Alert: Full Custom Volvo 240 Build

Volvo is not necessarily known for it’s racing heritage or modding community, but it has a big presence in both! Volvo 240’s dominated the racing scene back in the day, from there people started modding their plain jane looking Volvo 240’s into track and street racing ready weapons. But the best part about modding a Volvo 240 is that the exterior looks like an assuming brick, this, in turn, makes them great platforms for sleepers … and this one is pretty insane!

I love when the people who build these make them look as OEM as possible, it's so satisfying.

[jnbanasik]

Older Volvo’s are so cool. I don’t care what anyone says.

[jesperw]

as a swede this car makes me cry tears of joy

[mezzy]

I was always stuck in between JDM and German engineering, but now... I’m a sweed boy

[nishanglorikian]

You just gotta love how bespoke this build is while maintaining utmost respect for the car and brand

[Coleskatemane]

Super hyped to say I bought my first 240 this year.
Ever more hyped to say it’s a 2 door turbo.
Life’s good.

As a volvo guy, i absolutely love that they kept it volvo with the swap. Those T6's are great engines, personally i would have gone for T5, but that is just personal preference

[AutoRevArg]

So refreshing to see a car with an engine swap FROM THE SAME BRAND. Amazing job on that car

VOLVO FOR LIFE! Bought my first Volvo in Seattle- 1973, 2 dr, manual transmission

[corychecketts]

More Volvos please! These cars are seriously underrated. One of the best values in the classic car world.

I'm so happy this wasn't just an LS swap

[forrestclark]

this thing is monsterous, that's a true labor of love right there

[jerrylindgren]

I have had 8 240's, spent $1000 total for the last 4 of them.
One of the best things about them for the Volvo cult has been affordability and mechanical simplicity.

They changed very few things in the 19 years they were produced making parts very interchangeable.


Videos like this drive the price up, but can't say I mind because the more of these that get saved from junkyards the better.
Probably selling one soon so thanks Donut for helping hype these beautiful bricks. :)

The 240 is such a gorgeous car, I constantly see custom volvos here in Sweden and it's awesome

[purpleknight]

To the editors, thank you for not using a generic car for the intro, and instead actually using the car that’s being featured. Little details like that show dedication and professionalism.

[ReindeerBork]

Whoa whoa whoa, who said you could tell everybody these exist, now They’re gonna cost Volvo people more =(

[olov]

they're getting hard to find, save em folks, buy a volvo, fall in love

[wille]

Volvos have never been boring, the whopping ~100hp these old ones have as stock for sure is enough to have fun in especially in the winter.

[D-man]

A billion years ago, I met these guys when they were living in Massachusetts. I thought the work they did back then was impressive....

Long live Turbobricks!

My favourite volvo model right here. Especially this particular version with round lights. The work done to this car should be called a Real art. Cheers to the owner and thanks for this episode!
