Haha no problem. My family's good friend/Volvo mechanic just recently bought a wagon one that's in mint condition. He's going to slam it, and hot rod it. So far, he's painted the steelies red, with chrome caps. It's going to be soooo hot.

Cool, the one here been there for 10+ years in a driveway, looks to be an older street rod job to it, car has chrome reverse wheels on it. Me and my buddys just always wondered what it was haha. Looking around on Google showed a few hod rod ones and a few drag cars.

How many of you guys have seen one of these before? ;)

[Jaxx_]

did you happen to have had an 854 T5? I think I remember a similar username (freeride) on volvospeed a while back, and they were from CA iirc.

Here's my old 855, got totaled by a maserati... funny story.

TSX projector retrofit was probably the biggest mod. hidden 10" subwoofer in the spare tire well (while keeping the spare tire)
Just a MBC and the car ran a 14.9@90.6mph

my current daily:


nothing worth mentioning there.


Anyways... just thought I would post up even though I don't really have anything constructive to share.

[bramon]

I wanna play!

Which ones are these? lol sorry, not a big Volvo guy, but I'd definitely drive these.

[freeride53]

Jaxx, no but I did drive these at some point: and I daily'd the XC70 Cross country this summer.

Freeride53, then norcal505 on Turbobricks and Volvospeed.. xc4life on swedespeed.

This is the 245 I used to drive. :( Now it's the car that gets thrown around the family.
My sister with the learner's permit already managed to fuck up the front bumper...smh

First and last one's are 144's, and the white 2d is a 242 Turbo, and 3rd is a 244.

[bernzpeed]

My V70 T5

[Vtec?lol]

240's are my second fav behind the e30

240 with 16v swap, lsd, solid/spoke-less steelies =win

[unrlmth]

Might as well post up a photo of my mom's Volvo.

[Pantless Spency]

How many of you guys have seen one of these before? ;)

someone just recently bought a storage space at my work to store there project one ;) pretty neat-o i was really surprised by it, never seen one before.
and i was gonna post the vox 144! you meanie.
theres a 122 local for sale great deal and killer condition, really itching for it lol.

[freeride53]

Spencer, does that one happen to be white?
I took a picture of one in downtown Sonoma a few years ago...sorta the same area..

[ReallyDirtyThirty]

No love for the 1800?!

[Kershaw]

that is a terrible ad. rofl.

my mom had a 240DL. loved that car.

[browntown]

The 5 cylinder cars are a royal pita to work on. The 240 has some nostalgia to it, but I still covet the amazon (122). I drive by a wagon for sale often and dream of a resto-rod, but I can't even finish my e30 so I keep on going. Here's a amazon coupe grm did years ago.
