Old Yeller - the 242

Meet Old Yeller. The 1978 242. I acquired this car from an old time Volvo mechanic in Georgia. Old Yeller is a fully functioning road worthy car that was driven under his own power back to Nashville.

Some favorite tidbits...
  • 4 speed manual transmission with overdrive
  • working/charged R-12 A/C system dead as of Summer '14
  • 700 series turbo mags
  • R-sport gauges 100-200 series
  • alleged original paint
  • mechanical fuel injection
  • breakerless vacuum advance ignition
  • no power steering (from factory)
