Volvo Hotrod

I like Hotrods, but I've never lusted after one before.
Volvo's version makes me drool a bit though




Edited to add, the "briefcase" on the front is the blower !

its a jacob .

and up until the advent of the 140/240 , volvo did make sporting saloons that were nice to look at , re the amazon .

altho i do like the 140/240 , the saftey concious image and the fact they wouldnt produce them with turbos here counted against them in peoples minds .

they have a good retro following now tho since they seem to last a bit longer than most !

It always like that style of volvo but their becoming quite pricey now. Seen a lot of customs using it, including a purple striped convertable years ago.

the diff on the hot rod is a scaled up vintage one as per the old car

where the hell do you get tires like that?

and did you notice how the front disks are mounted? very smart

Too much plastic cover

I quite like that, as it looks nice and clean. The car as a whole is awesome, some very nice details that i'd like to pinch

im amazed at the amount of 'too much plastic in the engine bay'a see a carbon fibre cover with some plastic .

how many people would say no to 225/250 hp in std form in rwd and be able to do 200,000 miles without trouble ?
