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

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:

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.

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.
