V8 Powered Volvo Station Wagon (perth)

[rev210]

I have had to upgrade the family car for seating capacity reasons so I am selling the beloved Volvo.

I have a 7 seater 4wd now so there must be room made in the shed.

NOW $8,000 ono !!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the original 'Sleeper'. And is an absolute blast to drive. The V8 is loud and proud and gives the people around you fair warning that something is drastically wrong in the land of the Abba.

1977 Volvo Station Wagon ; Ferrari red. Electric windows/ power steering/ Sports Streering wheel & Dash with tacho also including center guages for oil pressure, volts etc. The Car sits lowered and has heavy duty front coils to cope with the V8. It has Volvo factory alloys with Pirelli Drago P5000 tyres.

This car is fully engineered and licenced with the V8. The Gas conversion included a custom modification to the chassis to fit the tank under the car so as to leave the boot space free.

Considering the power this car has and the amount of fun you can have with it, the LPG makes it as cheap to run as a 4 cylinder. Not to mention the safety of the Flying brick design.

I have quite a number of spare parts to go with the car and I also have a big Speed Pro cam that will drop straight in should anyone like a bit more power.

I will take others of the Engine Bay and things later on if people are interested.

thats probably the coolest thing ive ever seen. A teachers car with a fully sick 308. What will they think of next. Im not in the market for a new car, but it would be damn funny to own. Good luck with the sale tho..

More Pic's

The interior is now 'clean' the pics have it looking a bit dusty. Ditto for the engine bay.

good job!! there are plenty of 240 sedans with big block V8s in them around america, but never really seen a Volvo with one here. Could be a future plan......get a 240 or 242GT and drop in a V8. I've heard some of them run 11sec down the quarter?

good luck with the sale.
