1.7 Liters of V4 Fury!
The seller claims this is an all original car, but doesn’t say anything about the condition. Still, the single picture available seems to back the originality claim and it looks like it has potential. I love these quirky little cars! Obviously, this needs an inspection before we can comment on whether it’s a great deal.…

Just another vintage, utility-oriented Volvo
The other day, we featured a Volvo Amazon/122 wagon on a Toyota truck frame. Today, we have a PV445 pickup. Volvo didn’t make a pickup body, but did sell these as a bare chassis, so Swedish coachbuilders made trucks and various other iterations. We have no idea how custom this might be, though the seller…

Volvo 122 + Toyota 4×4 = Win!
There are a lot of example of strange choices involving cars and pickup, or other 4×4, frames and running gear. We once posted a Datsun roadster in this category. Usually, these vehicles are only very strangely appealing and would are posted primarily as jokes. This combination of 1967 Volvo 122 wagon and Toyota 4×4,however, works…

Volvo T5R in the right color combo
Anyone automotively aware in the 1990s must remember the yellow Volvo T5Rs with the mildly dark-tinted five-spoke wheels. Sure, it’s FWD and has an auto trans, but 0-60 in about 6.0 seconds in a Volvo box is just cool. These were also known for excellent grip. The world would have to wait for the follow-up…

Meatball command? VolvoTP21 Sugga Command car
Volvo had AWD/4WD vehicles long before Judge Reinhold climbed under one in the late 90s. Here we have a Swedish military command vehicle which mostly speaks for itself. Are you a Volvo fan? Might you be a huge fan of the Swedish military? This could be the car for you! The seller claims it doesn’t…

Torque steer and pickled fish
Named after a famous Saab fighter, the 9-3 Viggen was Saab’s short-lived performance entry, produced for the 1999 through 2002 model years (though some claim a small number of 1998s). Its 2.3L, turbocharged four cylinder put out 225 to 230 HP, depending on the year and the ECU limited first gear torque to cope with…

Why not? 1978 Volvo 262C with LS3 and nitrous
This looks like an amazing build, if you’re into screaming green! It’s surprising how few pictures the seller put in the ad for this type of car, but we found more on the interwebs. This thing is likely fun, but what’s up with the automatic trans? Drag racing, or just a strange choice? Update: It…

Quickie: Live like Swedish royalty
We love older Volvos, including the 700-series, but this is a bit different. Here we have an opportunity to live like Swedish royalty, if there is such a thing. This 760 limo comes complete with CRT TV and bar in the back, and the seller claims it has privacy glass. Best of all, this limo…

Denver Broncos themed 1974 Volvo 142
Your humble host had a 1974 Volvo 142 for a while and learned about the frustration that can come from a previously-neglected Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection setup. This owner not only made his or her 142 into a Denver Broncos tribute, but decided to dump the B20 entirely and change to Toyota power and…

Good, honest Turbo Brick
We love Volvo Bricks and,of course, love Turbo Bricks even more. The seller gives a good amount of info here and this seems like a great, original car. With one of these, the teacher’s car story fits perfectly. The only downside is it’s severely lacking in clutch pedal. Would you keep it as-is and hope…
