Swedens Finest - E3 - Per's insane 739HP Volvo 242 Sleeper 

Thanks for the feedback guys. I agree, I should have recorded more engine/driveby sounds. I did not think of it when filming, my bad. I won't miss is in the upcoming episodes 😊.

Rule number one in the Scandinavian car community: If you see a Volvo with a roll cage, you better run!

nice to see a high hp volvo that has a volvo engine and isn't swapped to an ls or something

Would have liked to have heard the engine at some point.

Incredible car. We would enjoy seeing it in action. The car didn't really get a chance to speak.

Looks awesome, I always liked this model, now I like it even more!

This thing is amazing. My dad works at bilia and we just sold his 04- V70R. that thing flew. but i bet that it was nothing to this. Much love from the east neighbour🇫🇮❤️

It's not often but this is my fav video on RU-vid. The shots, the car, the colour grading, the whole video.

Sweet build my brother! I had a 1979 262 Bertone Coupe with a 300 hp Chevy Camaro motor, Turbo 350C trans. Looked stock with the original turbine wheels & the 4 rectangular headlights that was the U.S. front end. Silver paint & black vinyl top. What a great car. Should still have it but divorces don't give you what you want. Btw, from Copenhagen originally.😉

Very clean and tidy build, love the (mostly) period exterior and no nonsense race interior. Great job!

It sort of looks like a sleeper, but I think it looks pretty badass and modified

Nice. The level of finesse in that engine room, Per is the real deal.

Beautiful job. I’ve always loved the old Volvos and love the fact you tried to keep it looking as original as possible. Would love to see it running.

What a beautiful build! Never thought the brick cars could look that elegant. And that engine! ❤️❤️❤️! I like old Alfa Romeos, but my first car was a Volvo 244 2.3l , so I will always have a sweet spot for these cars. They’re comfortable and indestructible, and believe me I tried 😁

Imponerande och inspirerande! 🙌🏻 Riktigt snygg! Perfekt val!

Klippen när bilen står ' i skogen' är fantastiska! Hela videon är imponerande, men den biten är verkligen top-notch 😮

If you know the power this set up provides you already know the sound. Beautifully done car and video.

Jag är jävligt glad för din skull, kul att se kanalen växa! :D Fortsätt och du kommer skina inom snar framtid!

Good investment for another 25 years , she will still running ! Good power , enough power ! Caring , and always luv and beside you !

This deserves much more views!

Very nice this one, been following it on IG for a while, fun to see the guy behind the build!

What a nice and humble guy you are and at the same time an artist with your wonderful discrete beige 240. 😊

Classic! A beautiful, subtle restomod. Stay safe👋🇬🇧

Underbart bygge och vackert filmat,bra reportage!

Well done; great to see determination to keep these bricks performing.

this car is fkn amazing omg

this is such a beautiful car

what a beautiful volvo Literally one of the cleanest builds I’ve ever seen

Perfectly done, beautiful build. #respect

Skitsnyggt producerat och filmat!🔥💯

Wow, this is so nice and clean, the work is immaculate. Great video, i didn't mind missing engine sound, it's hard to capture the real sound anyway.

Stunning project

That's very.. very cool 242 Volvo. Warmest regards Volvo fans from Indonesia

I know my comment is very late but this car is superbly done and I want to congratulate Per on it.

I like the swedish enthusiasm . :-) What a great car , clean and nice build ...I have seen these modified Volvo's long time ago in Zweden and they are fast ! I hope this build culture can continu in the future .... (only missed to see some performance of this car) but thanks for the nice movie.

Cool build. Nice stance, great power. Shes a ripper for sure. Neat video!

Grymt hög produktions kvalite! Riktigt bra video! :D

Keep uploading Swedish power 💯❤️💪🏼

Had the privilege to line up next to this car multiple times last year att Emmaboda(not inte same class though). It is truly stunning and an aweseome build. Grymt bra!

All those "car lovers" on facebook or wherever you see those kinda guys post some lamborghini, ferraris, mclaren or paganis, where real car guys own this

Beautiful build. Well done.

Fetaste jag sett på länge 💪

Nice clean ride, great to see the Volvo engine too.

Hybrid in the best sense.👍🏻 Great colour. Really nice car.

Helt grymt!!

Respect and love from USA

That watts link setup tho... HAZETA Don't miss the trees for the forest.

great car and video, I am on my fourth Volvo 240 ,I was in the car sales business for some years, there were good and not so good cars and i always came back to Volvo 240's and even sold for Volvo Canada in the late 80's when lots of things were changing globally in the auto industry and still came back to 240's, the only other Volvo i liked was the 780 Bertone , finished in Italy and was a fantastic car, still not too many of even the newest models have the same fit and finish as they did, 240's are simple you love them or hate and simple to work on and are dead reliable, living in the centre of Canada we have some of the coldest winters in the world temperature wise -40 is not uncommon for us to have in winter or even colder with wind chill, and there is no there car that has cold starting reliability like 240's or the heat they produce and don't garage my cars and will start most times without plugging in the block heater, the swedes just tested the heck out of these cars before they went on the market, my daily driver is a 1989 240 DL with around 320k on the clock and engine is never been apart just the usual consumable items replaced, i still have original front shocks that i will change in the summer and still the factory fuel pump and that is the one item i have never replaced on any of my Volvos yet, time will tell and am currently planning out a restoration of my 1982 242 GLT with the rare B23 E engine that only available in Canada and Europe, and looking to do a upgrade to EFI from mechanical injection and modern ECU for it, possibly Haltech time will tell, you can't find the old injection parts anymore, or do a 850 2.4 turbo conversion to it, the 4 speed o/d is great and can handle the power, great video 👍 🚘

Bra gjort!

Riktigt snyggt bygge!

Great car, beautifully prepared and explained with typical Swedish modesty........

I like this, its a good post!

I bet that thing would be awesome at the Ultimate Street Car contest. At very lease would be an awesome sight to behold! Beautiful build.

Nu fick man lite flashback 😎 Farsan tog ut en ny Volvo 244DL-1976 med samma kulör som din och en aning mindre hästkrafter, det var en B21a med 100hk typ🙃 Grattis till ditt snygga bygge då den blev riktigt nice😍🙏💯

Amazing cool, that’s my exact dreamcar!!

Nicely made video and nice Volvo! Greetings from Belgium.

such a stunningly beautiful car.

Very very very nice build. Indeed.

Beautiful.

Bilen är blodig fantastisk!!

The Caliber of Engineering Workmanship and Detail is quite incredible and if you can not appreciate this build your not a true car enthusiast at all and just don’t get either. Here in the states you see the common mustangs Camaro ECT . Builds this is Fresh and Clean I would love to Roll out with this car . Excellent Job great 👍 Paint choice too for originality and Sleeper . who ever gave this a Thumbs down is a Hater and go troll someone else

Det här är otroligt. Jag är förvånad över att en Volvo-motor skulle kunna producera så mycket HP. Vackert arbete.

Häftig bil. Du är ju cool när du berättar om bilen, jämfört med dom Amerikanska hajpade nissarna. Dom orkar jag inte höra på. Jag gillar bilen skarpt, det var kanon kul att spana in videon.

Så jävla härlig.

Riktigt nice episod my boi! Go feeling rakt igenom!

Otroligt snyggt bygge. Det enda som stör är klistermärkerna och att störtbågen har samma färg som karorossen. Det förstör lite av det underbara cleana utseendet. Motorrummet magiskt snyggt! 👍

Its simply BEAUTIFULL !!!

Helt underbart👍

Such a piece of art! woupd have love to see a test drive!

video is nice and the volvo is beautiful, but... we want hear the engine and see you overtake a Porsche on the freeway:)

My ‘76 Volvo 242 DL in dark blue would’ve been the best car I ever owned. All it would have needed is a 4 speed with overdrive transmission (mine was a 3 speed auto), a nice Volvo crank sunroof, the right side door rear view mirror and an engine like this one has. Btw, I put a $39 40 watt radio shack combo 7 band equalizer/amp, $80 dollar clarion 6 x 9’s in the back deck and a $299 Blaupunkt cassette deck in it and to this day, that was the best sounding stereo I’ve had in a car. That Volvo trunk somehow made it have really accurate bass. ( wow, I just realized I liked this car so much I posted 2 times on it)

This cream color is so classy 💕

Vackert. Smakfullt. 🔥

Färgen är grym. Nästa bygge televerksröd kombi!

I love this car!!!

That brick with wheels looks sick 👌🏾

Schysst video, snubben förklara bra och lugnt. Snygg Volvo!, hade älskat att köra den där.

Riktigt fin!

Superläcker kärra, grymt arbete du gjort.

Need to import a handful of these sweeds to Australia and put them to work. How cool would it be to have someone like this at your local garage. Love the build, minimalist, sleeper, original ❤

I've always loved the 240! I wish Volvo still made those things!

Very clean Volvo 242! These cars are timeless imo. Peace

Måste ju låta folket höra va fan, typ hela poängen

Awesome car !

Snygg video, häftig bil

Ufff what a beauty..enjoy

amazing 242

What a build.

Mine had 637 less horsepower and yet I still loved my 1976 242 DL. It was built like a tank. I would drive 25k miles a year, and so it ate exhaust parts, brakes, tires and power steering fluid., but nothing else. The odometer only worked when it was below 15 F outside, so I had no idea how many miles were on it. I suspect about 180,000 or so.

I have a soft spot for these, not sure of the exact year (early 70s with round lights and metal grill) my parents had an earlier version of this body style car white with blue tweed interior I spent my childhood in a volvo and smile when ever I see one. Cool car!🇸🇪🇺🇸🏴‍☠️👍😎

Awesome!

duktigt underskattad kanal!

Gorgeous! I love the attention to detail.

This thing is mint

*That is beautiful*

Bad ass... AWESOME car!!!!

This car is in impecable state

WOOOW nice Car Bro

Snyggt, riktigt snyggt.

nice car, owned two 244 DL's year's ago, great car's,
