Absolutely awesome and fun to drive Volvo with a v8 swap. About $15,000 was spent on parts and supplies to build this car so if you were thinking of building one then this will save you a lot of time and money!
The car is fast, fun, and the IPD suspension provides exciting and balanced handling.
Always a great conversation starter!
This one has all the right parts and it is just waiting for you to ad your personal touch to make it yours!
The engine, trans, and computer combo were purchased from Tripplett Salvage in Akron with only 30,000 miles (approximately just 40,000 miles now).
The car was built between 1997-2000 from an almost enitirely rust free car (it was rust proofed from new). Garage kept and driven very little since built (family and minivans came into the picture).
It has been active and driven a little each year. It has received most of its little bumps and bruises while stored. It needs a some attention to fix up some little details here and there but the work is all very mino
There is one small rust scab shown in the picture that won't require patching.
Most of the original leather interior is nice and intact with a couple panels on the driver seat that need replaced.
When built, everything (ball joints, bushings, fuel lines, brake lines, calipers, rotors, steering rack, etc.) was replaced with new or remanufactured parts.
This is for the person who wants a custom car

10 best new car deals in late September 2021

Wed, Sep 29 2021

New car sales were drastically affected in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but things started to show signs of recovery toward the end of the year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Now there's an ongoing shortage of microchips causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. That doesn't mean there aren't still great deals on new cars, though. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for September 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).

Volvo PV444 turns 70

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Volvo has made all manner of vehicles over the course of its long history, including coupes, convertibles, hatchbacks, sedans, wagons and SUVs. But the vehicle that started it all was the PV444.
Or rather, we should say, the PV444 is what re-started it all. Because while it wasn't Volvo's first model, it was the first one it produced after the war. Monday, September 1, will mark 70 years since the PV444 first debuted at the Royal Tennis Hall in Stockholm pictured above, where the company received 148,437 visitors.
That presentation there took place shortly before the end of World War II when the vehicle wasn't even finished yet. A team of 40 engineers and designers were still fine-tuning the final version, but were eager to show the public what it would start building after the last bullet was fired and peace would return to Europe.

Heico jacks up Volvo V40 Cross Country to create XC40

Sat, 24 May 2014

Because life isn't fair, we don't get the stylish wagon known as the Volvo V40 in the United States. That means we don't get its soft-roading cousin, the V40 Cross Country. So, naturally, if Volvo tuner Heico Sportiv ever produces this ruggedized, XC-styled V40 Cross Country, it most certainly wouldn't cross the pond, either.
That makes us sad, because despite holding a tiny bit of contempt for small luxury crossovers, this is a very, very cool looking vehicle. It's just a render right now, but Heico Sportiv is looking to offer the kit to V40 Cross Country owners who want a smaller version of the Volvo XC60.
Converting a V40 CC into an XC40 would start with some suspension tweaks. The ride height would be raised by just over an inch, in order to improve the looks of the soft-roader and deliver a more CUV-like ingress and egress. New shocks would also be fitted, as well. Wheel-arch extensions were also added to complete the look.
