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!

Older Volvo’s are so cool. I don’t care what anyone says.
Just like the bmw e30
You just cant hate them
New volvo are so cool too
850R
Hey man, the c30 t5 wasnt bad either. Id say it coulda been the 240 of the 00s if volvo had given it enough love.
Lodeon they ugly af
I love when the people who build these make them look as OEM as possible, it's so satisfying.
Indeed
Mine was till I started gutting it and throwing a bigger turbo in it 😂
I was always stuck in between JDM and German engineering, but now... I’m a sweed boy
hahaha same here my man!
240 likes on your comment as of me typing this one, nice.
Bet
as a swede this car makes me cry tears of joy
eller hur?
Great car
So glad it still has a Volvo engine.
not f*king ls XD
Amen
This.
It’s not like it’s cheating to just drop an LS into a 240 but it’s a lot more rewarding to stay true to the volvo name. My 240 project car is gonna have that redblock 4 cylinder in it that came with the car and I’m not changing that, just building it up.

I knew an LS swap douchebag was lurking around
Chump Johnson did you even read the whole comment
No "africa" by toto alarm?
1/10 from me
Ah, i see, a man of culture
I wonder how many people get it
My man Chris Ng made that and it is so brilliant
I remember having that video In my recommended 10/10 content
He must have missed out on the kickstarter sale. I bought one.
You just gotta love how bespoke this build is while maintaining utmost respect for the car and brand
So refreshing to see a car with an engine swap FROM THE SAME BRAND. Amazing job on that car
Super hyped to say I bought my first 240 this year.
Ever more hyped to say it’s a 2 door turbo.
Life’s good.
Take good care of it. That's a rare car. 242s are hard to get let alone a turbo car.
Dude congrats! That's fucking awesome
As a volvo guy, i absolutely love that they kept it volvo with the swap. Those T6's are great engines, personally i would have gone for T5, but that is just personal preference
you should search up kevin brunberg on youtube, he runs a b230 with the 8v head. come back and thell me that aint a badass inline 4 engine. i have a b230ft build myself going, my plan is somewhere between 300-400whp on a 30 year old engine.
@@Alphieboy 300hp should be fairly easy with forged pistons and conrods. Don't forget also stiffer valve springs to keep em' closed, after that it's just fueling and installing a large enough turbo and intercooler
@@hagglundguy yep, i recently finished building my 531 top, and it should be good for somewhere between 700-800hp with a different cam. I ported both the intake and exhaust 10mm larger, stiffer valve springs, bigger valves stage 2 turbo camshaft and perfected gapping below thr camshaft. I also have a Volvo V70R Turbo loading 1.2 bar og boost, but for now on stock internals
@@Alphieboy very nice setup! What kind of mods are you looking to do to the bottom end?
My dream would be a mad 3 liter stroked 7000 rpm screaming bottom end
@@hagglundguy the plan is to go full forged yoshifab internals. i might be swapping out the block with a new one, or stroke it from 2.4L to 2.4, since the previous owner did not take good care of it, and the cyl walls are a bit worn.
the whole project is a long time project since building a car usually aint cheap.
"He cut the five spoke centers out, grabbed a set of 17x8 2 piece bmw wheels, and figured he'd put them together." What kind of sick freak does that??
If you want to have a look at sock freak magicians, go check Allen Millyard out. That bloke is WICKED 😈
To the editors, thank you for not using a generic car for the intro, and instead actually using the car that’s being featured. Little details like that show dedication and professionalism.
James should do a bumper to number on his vw

Yrh
Spellcheck made the 2nd bumper into number xp
Agreed
They should just do a review of the donut teams actual cars, that would be cool!

A billion years ago, I met these guys when they were living in Massachusetts. I thought the work they did back then was impressive....
Long live Turbobricks!
Dana Honsa hi Dana
Volvos have never been boring, the whopping ~100hp these old ones have as stock for sure is enough to have fun in especially in the winter.
More Volvos please! These cars are seriously underrated. One of the best values in the classic car world.
I'm so happy this wasn't just an LS swap
The 240 is such a gorgeous car, I constantly see custom volvos here in Sweden and it's awesome
8:55 that hilarious CL comment to the Craig's listing edit is Amazing video editing and originality! Props
this thing is monsterous, that's a true labor of love right there
Gotta love them Swedes.

@@travisuysaloglu9695 Volvo CE?
I was really high when i said that
Travis Uysaloglu Ikea?
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. :)
I love it - nice wheels, mix of old round lights with newer dash and "spoiler" (or however it's called) under front bumper. This is how perfect 200-series looks like for me.
Whoa whoa whoa, who said you could tell everybody these exist, now They’re gonna cost Volvo people more =(
I got one here in sweden for free that was super clean and one owner
johan mattsson
Cool story....
Nathan Brame I can sense someone it getting a little buthurt here;)

How to build a volvo 240 101
Step 1: plant a brick
Step 2: pour some öl
Step 3: and now you have a volvo 240.

You need wheels
@@Casedilla73 well, yes but i've inspired this from geobaz
Viggo Dalemo 8 röd 3 Rydebäcksskolan nej för o helvete världens sämsta motor ju för fan. Ska du ha diesel i en 240 konvertera då en om606
Thanks. It is a funny video, great editing and it comes with an interesting brick build that seems unusually clean too. I`m tired of seeing chopped junks but this one was really the opposite. Great job guys!
I have to stop and just absorb the quality of filming and editing in these videos. Honestly best "behind the camera" crew on TH-cam, I'm simply amazed
I was conceived in a Volvo 240, said every swedish millenial
ska du vara mä i tvåførtin ikväll elle? baksätet är jette mysigt
There are exceptions, but then they say they were conceived in IKEA and brought home in a Volvo 240.
Rätt sant 😁
Eyy en Norsk eller svensk!
And they're all right.
My favourite volvo model right here. Especially this particular version with round lights. The work done to this car should be called a Real art. Cheers to the owner and thanks for this episode!
Major Volvo enthusiast here, always glad to see a beautiful Brick get some love 😍🤘 🙌
S/O to Nolan for pronouncing Bilstein properly.
Also, thanks for closing the door when you got in, one of the most satisfying door closing sounds is made by these 240 series Volvos.
I dont usually like 5 spoke wheels but hot damn those look good on that car
I love these engines i saw one parked since the 80's start up with only a few spark plugs and choke fluid.
Yeah the stock engines are impossible to kill, tho the K jet ones really don't like sitting that much... Don't ask me how I know
@@victorpelini5995 ahh! gotta love k-jet, plastic fuelines are fun, especially when they are dry and are from the80's!
@@tor2823 the fuel lines on mine are good (I hope they are.. never had an issue)
I have an issue where this thing is putting WAY too much fuel down in them cylinders... Its great when its set correctly but is a pain to deal with. I may have a bad fuel distributor and/or warm up regulator... smh I wish I could just swap dual carbs in it
Victor Pelini 2st Weber 45 carb can these old bricks up to an amazing 90mph;) been there done that
@@johanmattsson6572 I don't have the money right now and would need a manifold + its a B200, doesnt have much displacement.. i could bore it to 2.1L do a head porting but might aswell try to source an aq151c penta 2.5 dual carbs
Hands down the most effort ever gone into a volvo, ever. BUt it looks super nice and the fab work is mind blowing, huge props sir.
This is the sleepiest Sleeper I've ever seen!
No Rollcage, no bucket seats, no visible intercooler...just classic look
The editing is just as awesome as the car
Finally interesting volvo(please do more volvo videos)
Yess Volvo for life
Böötta 240
I'm glad this has traveled over seas, in Sweden the 240 and 740 series has been used for sleeper-builds for quite a while because they were everywhere and after a while people really got the formula down with the parts readily available
This car is definitely my style clean lines square body nice straight 5 spoke wheels 👍🏾...shes a beauty
Can y'all stop exposing our cars, please! One of the last cheap cars to mod....
Ryan Watters now that everybody knows they’re going to start drift taxing us Volvo heads
@@illdecidemylifesdirectionl9992 dude straight facts, and people are just going to drift them into walls and junk em, driving it even higher
Right man I miss picking these up for a couple hundred bucks. Fucking drift tax now :(
240 also gets higher prices because of collectors. 740 and 940 might be a better option.
@@GreenLeaf5656 700 900 didn't sell as much as the 200 there getting hard to come by aswell. Last busted up 900 I had seen forsale was a 93turbo sedan 355k and still wanted 1800$ :( I paid 5k for my 94 945 11 years ago from the original owner with 100k on the clock. Even the fwd 800 are getting hard to find (but that's a throwaway car so makes sense)
You're doing an awesome job Nolan! Great video as usual dudes
I have a 2007 volvo s80 v8 awd that is too much fun. Recently did my own exhaust and she SCREAMS. Much love from Nebraska! ✌❤😊
Hell yea donut love the Volvo content, especially as a 740 turbo owner. Pretty insane and inspiring build that guy has, I hope someday I can do an engine swap on my car and make it a true sleeper as well.
242DL is my fav honestly. thanks for doing a video on my favorite car!
I allways admired people like these guys who made that beauty, to me thats a definition of a true and happy man, wish i had so much talent at any subject !
My brother got my grandmother's 1980 brown 240 DL wagon back in high school. My mom got my grandfather's 1991 blue 240 DL sedan. I was in love with both of them.
Back when Volvo's were quality. Love it
Sup Donut, how is James recovering?
By the way, Volvos are AWESOME, I want an 850R...
Benjamin Cho sorry the R didn’t come until the Volvo 850 best 240 is a 242 gt which is super rare but a 850R Motor’s will for in a 242 for a super sleeper
@@illdecidemylifesdirectionl9992 but there was a 240 gt
a 240 what?
bubert group a 242 is a 242 gt
@ricky burgess i was talking about my mans "240R"...
Ive always wanted one of these in midnight purple. Such an underrated platform to work with
Sleeper alert should be its own series
"I can't pull up in *that*! I'm gonna get laughed at!"
I knew those were dumb words.
There goes the prices of my beloved 240 lol
yeah they shouldve waited until i could get my hands on a decent one
I do not know who this Alex is, all I want to say is that he is an absolute genius and that this build is so extremely clean I would have never guessed it would outrun nearly all the cars in the Netherlands, only the wheels could be a giveaway. Cheers.
I've been waiting for this vid. Good one.
The Volvo 240 is one of my favorite cars
I have a stock V70. Completely stock, and not even one of the "fun" engines. Love it to bits and just as fast in the real world as anything needs to be. Hopefully going to tune her and do some upgrades some day but alas it is beyond my means currently.
VOLVO FOR LIFE! Bought my first Volvo in Seattle- 1973, 2 dr, manual transmission
Seven Volvos later, I restored my mother's 1989 244 DL, automatic, over drive transmission, 257K, 25-28 mpg, San Andrea's, CA...personally I prefer 240 series Volvos than 1995 850 GLT. However, I was quite impressed how my 1995 850 Volvo survived 300 lb bear attack in South Lake Tahoe, CA while driving on I-580.
One of the best builds. The thing I like the most about it is that it isnt about spending the world's money on the car but more about making really nice parts at home.
I've got a mostly stock 240 myself. Keeping it mostly stock, just improving the chassis, transmission, and camshaft.
I've always loved Volvo 240's, they're alluringly unsexy
A friend of mine in high school had a Volvo 870 turbo and upgraded the turbo, exhaust and suspension. Threw a tune on it and couldn't be beaten. Lol it was maroon and he kept it looking stock. It was sick!
Tell whoever added it that the yellow bar in the sponsorship portion was a nice touch and that I appreciate it
2:09 hehe my man is getting it 😉😉
Now I wanna see a S60R. There sick af
oh, I love those flying bricks, have always wanted to get one of those
gonna grab a 240 and restore, it's interesting (and safe!) even nowadays
I drive a 2014 V40 with the 5-cylinder engine. Absolute sleeper. I've seen people in bmw's and Audi's with their jaws.drop to the floor as they try to catch up and can't. Absolute torque monster.
Volvos are slow, really?

Here in brazil we have the "Chevette" and it's the most common sleeper here.
Proud owner of a Volvo S60 R. Now, want a throwback 240 😁
How the hell doesn’t this channel get millions of view ever video! Best car channel out
Volvos are sick asf. And they last FOREVER. I'm honestly so happy they are finally getting an even bigger fanbase. The new ones are gonna be great modding platforms, supercharged and turbocharged 2.0 engines.. and they are capable of handling high hp on the stock block👍
i live in sweden and i love volvos btw that is my dream car
You should do the Volvo s60r v70r and also the polestar s60 and v60 polestar.
the best he could make out of this thing. i think its perfect, congrats!
Nicely done!!
love this thing. i personally would have gone a t5 turbo engine instead
Yeh the 5 cylinder Volvo engines are sick
I agree though this is also crazy cool. Does seem like an awful lot of work for not much power though
