Description
The Volvo 200-Series built a reputation over nearly two decades of production for its boxy, over-engineered simplicity, and the DL trim represented the model's standard, no-frills specification.
The 240's durable B21 four-cylinder and straightforward chassis have long made it a favorite platform for enthusiast builds, particularly turbocharged conversions and five-speed transmission swaps sourced from Volvo's later turbo models.
This 1979 244 DL sedan has been built by the seller around a Kinugawa 20T turbocharger, a Do88 cooling upgrades, and a Borg Warner Wold Class (WC) T5 five-speed manual transmission swap using a Deeworks swap kit. The car is finished in tan over brown upholstery and features additional modifications including Bilstein suspension, IPD sway bars, Panasport wheels, a Hurst shifter, and Bluetooth stereo system.
This modified 1979 Volvo 244 DL is now offered with a clean Texas title in the seller's name.
