DTO: Volvo 242 Turbo - Group A Evolution - A Legit ETC/DTM Touring Car

Ok, it may not be Thursday anymore, but here at DT any day is Thorsday! Today we have a special treat - the ultimate Volvo 240. Regardless of price range, how often does an original touring car factory racer come up for sale from the Swedish stalwart? The answer is... not very. In 1983 Volvo decided to take on the likes of BMW, Alfa Romeo, Audi, Jaguar and other sporting brands who competed in the top level of touring car racing (that's production based cars bombing around road courses, if you're not familiar). They kicked some arsel in both the DTM and European Touring Car series, as a full-fledged factory team. The cars made around 350hp from their 2.1L turbocharged and water injected 4-cylinder Redblock engines. Find this 1984 -86ish Volvo 242 Turbo Group A race car for sale in Falkenburg, Sweden for an unspecified number of suitcases full of Kronor... via racecarsdirect.com.

Just BeCos: 1986 Mercedes-Benz 190e Cosworth W201


Most cars at this price point are far from perfect and are far from done despite most seller claims. Buy and finish quickly is the siren song of the seller. Fall for the puffery and claims in any sales pitch at your own peril. While there are exceptions and great deals out there if you know what you are doing most cars for sale are for sale for a reason. Sellers truthfully admitting faults in their cars and posting pictures is refreshing. This Mercedes 190e Cosworth has no illusions of grandeur, but may be the quickest way to play Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft driver. Find this 1986 Mercedes 190e Cosworth for $5,800 on Cragslist in Stockton California.
