That's the coolest looking Volvo I've ever seen and the baddest. Beating a 300k Ferrari in your Volvo station wagon, pretty awesome in my book.

They're modified Volvo P1800 coupes.
Built from '61-'73. 2500lbs, a couple I4 options, etc.


I'm not surprised that there are fast Volvos out there.
Volvo has actually made a few very stout turbo I5's and I6's (T5 and T6 as they describe them).

I never taught I would want a Volvo. So sick I wonder If he builds them for his personal collection or sells them.

Looks like it's not a T6, which was apparently designed with the help of ford.

Looks a lot like a b6294t (b series, 6 cylinder, 2.9l, 4v, turbo).



Quick Reply: Fast Volvo, no really it's fast.
