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
GLT???

Isn't there a badge on the back? Or some form of documentation? It's a puzzle that the manuals don't give you a clue.
This is a 240:

This is a 740:

A number of years back I had a GLE sedan, similar class to the GLT, and if I recall correctly it was a 260 series. 264 for a sedan and
265 for a wagon.Regards,

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.

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.
Congratulations my friend,,, you are now a Brick member,,, Enjoy !! Many K's to you. Regards Rick
You bought a car and don't know what it is? IDIOT!
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.
