Car Forum / Volvo Cars / November 2004GLT???
I purchased a 1982 GLT wagon and have got a embarasing question... what series is this considered? I've gone thru the repair manual, owners manual and no reference is made to whether it is considered a 240 series, 7?? series . I do know it is a Turbo but I can't live with this ignorance much longer. Please contribute to my edification. Thanks >I purchased a 1982 GLT wagon and have got a embarasing question... what >series is this considered?

It's a puzzle that the manuals don't give you a clue.

Regards, R.E. If its a 1982 it must be a 240 series. The 760 was introduced in 1982 but only as a saloon, the 765 and 745 ( wagons ) was as far as I know introduced in 1986.

Thanks As far as we can recall the 240 GLT did not have a turbo (at least not in Europe). The 740 GLT had a 16-valve twin cam engine. But 1982 is certainly a 240. Cheers, Peter. > If its a 1982 it must be a 240 series. > The 760 was introduced in 1982 but only as a saloon, the 765 and 745 ( [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > much >> longer.

An '82 GLT is a 240, since this was during a time when the 240 was the only model Volvo was producing, they dropped the "240" from the badge and simply labeled them "DL", "GL", "GLT", and "Turbo". The GLT was essentially everything the Turbo was, except it had the standard naturaly aspirated engine. To make matters more confusing, the more common fully (GL trim) equipped Turbo models are often referred to as "GLT"s but they all say "Turbo" on the badge on the back. Congratulations my friend,,, you are now a Brick member,,, Enjoy !! Many K's to you.
