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 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. :)

Ryan Watters Not trying to argue here, but they make mounts for these in rwd cars, and yes, you get rwd transmissions that bolt straight to them too.. But it is some work with shortening a 960 oil pan, wiring etc

@@noneapplied8204 the T6 engine in this car is from a FWD S80, it does wrok just like that, people do these swaps all the time in sweden, it is just as easy as dropping it in, the engine mounts line up, the whiteblock M90 transmission from a 960 also bolts up to the T5 and T6 engines, the trickiest part is the wiring
