1971 Volvo 142E

The car is factory original except as noted below and is in excellent cosmetic and driving condition. It has had only two owners and it’s been garaged during the winter months for the past 30 years or so.

This is a very nice example of the first year the 142 was offered with fuel injection. To honor the occasion, Volvo equipped these cars with many special features (leather seats, overdrive transmission, body and wheel trim) as standard for that year and only approximately 1,000 were imported to the U.S. The original owner purchased the car with additional options such as the Rallye gauge cluster, the driving lights, mud flaps and bumper enhancements, which make it unique and collectible.

Features:

• Two-door coupe, gold color, repainted, with clearcoat
• Odometer reads approximately 71,000 miles
• 2.0 liter high compression four-cylinder engine with Bosch fuel injection
