The seller offers little detail, but claims this is a running PV544 with a clean title. If you want 40s Ford styling with Swedish reliability, this is the car for you!
In other good news, the seller does specify this has a four-speed manual. The images certainly show a complete car, but we can’t do any detailed assessment of the value with this much information. Still, the starting price is modest and one would image it could be had for a bit less.
Would you keep this stock or modify it? Name it and it’s been done to a 444/544; so there’s plenty of information out there. Personally, I’d keep stock appearance and do some suspension, brake and engine upgrades over time.
If you know Huntington Beach at all, you can guess almost exactly where this car is located, as there are only a couple of these oilfield yards left.

Yes, that car right there!
You’ll might need more than one friend if you want to pull this hood off.
Interesting angle…
We can’t see much, but the interior looks largely complete. This long shifter would live on in Volvos until about 1972. Accessory gauges at least imply that someone cared what the engine was doing. It loos like someone may have welded in a panel on the right, but is that a cutout for a single-DIN head unit near the center? Strange choice in this car, but maybe someone actually had it as a daily driver.
Hopefully, the seller has the air cleaner or one can be sourced easily. Many buyers would want to slap the ubiquitous-on-old-Volvos Weber two-barrel on this, but it’d sure be cool with two SUs. Eventually, I’d consider a nicely built B20, but, in fact, I don’t know what’s already in this car…
