If you have any interest in older Volvos, you know ipd. They supply the most popular upgrades for most Volvo models, from body parts to cams to sway bars to exhausts. This is what ipd calls their first widely publicized project car and has inspired many fellow Brick enthusiasts. After all, the 140 series is…

Minty Brick
We here at Oddimotive have a soft spot for the Volvo 142 – the original Brick – as your humble host once had one and will, someday, have one again. This example is highly desireable, as it is the 142E from 1972. That means ‘tunable’ Bosch D-Jet electronic fuel injection, the more modern shifter location…

The Original Brick in Wagon Form
Here we have a rarely-seen-in-this-condition Volvo 140 series. Even better, it’s the 145, which means a five-door wagon! Even better, it’s a four-speed wagon. The Volvo 240 gets a lot of attention and is the most commonly referenced Brick, but it all started with the 140. As many know, a 142 is a two-door coupe/sedan,…

Tasty Turbo Brick
This 1982 Volvo 242 GLT is one cool brick – GLT means Grande Luxe Touring and this was Volvo’s luxury/sport offering. Some of these had the not-so-exciting PRV V6, but this one is equipped with a turbo four and manual trans. The seller points out that the turbo likely needs a rebuild and there may…

Quickie: Cheap Brick with Entertaining Ad
This could be a deal at $500 if you’re willing to figure out why it won’t rev. If this is a K-Jet car, it might be easy to target. Also, I love a couple things about this ad. First, the picture below is the only one and it’s a phone screen shot. Why would anyone…

Why not? 1978 Volvo 262C with LS3 and nitrous
This looks like an amazing build, if you’re into screaming green! It’s surprising how few pictures the seller put in the ad for this type of car, but we found more on the interwebs. This thing is likely fun, but what’s up with the automatic trans? Drag racing, or just a strange choice? Update: It…

Good, honest Turbo Brick
We love Volvo Bricks and,of course, love Turbo Bricks even more. The seller gives a good amount of info here and this seems like a great, original car. With one of these, the teacher’s car story fits perfectly. The only downside is it’s severely lacking in clutch pedal. Would you keep it as-is and hope…
