Used Car of the Day: 1971 Volvo 142s
We're going back-to-back Volvo this week.
Today, it's a manual-transmission 1971 Volvo 142s.
The asking price is $10,095 and there's a lot new on the car. That includes a sport exhaust, three brake calipers, rear brake lines, the brake booster, the front rotors, belts, the battery, the carbs, distributor, fuel lines and filters, Hella fog lights, Hella headlights, and more.
Other goodies include Virgo wheels, Bilstein shocks and springs, snow tires, anti-sway bar, Momo steering wheel, and mud flaps.
The lights, wipers, signals, heater, radio, speedometer, and temp gauge all work.
Items that require attention include a crack in the windshield, the fuel gauge, some of the door and window seals, worn front seats, and some Bondo issues on the rear left fender.
This car is based in Washington state and you can check it out here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Volvo have strong diffs good for racing.
Nice buy for the right money (not sure that's what's on it at present).
