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 !

WOW! Love it!!!!!!

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 !

I love it, not a huge fan of hotrods but that one is splendid.

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

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

Sorry about the size.

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 ?
