Some of you may remember the guy on here named Volvovette. Well, here is an update on the car. This is what happens when a moron gets hold of a nice volvo.
Here is the car when he got it:
Here is the car today:
It really wasn't a bad car. Nothing was majorly wrong with it. Had a 305 and a 700r4.
The 305 was okay. The car got a 350 swapped in, and it turned out to be junk. So the plan became, "swap in a 383 stroker with twin turbos and a 6 speed." At this point, I had enough with the owner of the car, bc i was not working for free anymore on it. So needless to say nothing ever got done with the car. 6 months later and he finally decides to scrap the car.
Somebody should go save the car. Heres some goodies still on the car I didnt have time to get off.
IPD front and rear sway bars (3:73 gears), brand new gm alternator, new sunpro tach, and 3 gauge setup. I had wired the car to only have the lights(brakes, turn signals and such) and the distributor. So all the switches are still in it. It has blue cloth seats. A gm power steering pump (works fine) that had new lines made to fit the volvo steering rack. The car has a Trans Dapt engine crossmember welded to the frame rails (wit the engine and trans in the motor set a 0*.) So I'm pretty sure its straight. Also had a IPD Gauge cluster and clock (clock didnt work to my knowledge)
So now there's a sbc/700r4 setup chassis in the junkard (LARRYS AUTO on US1 in JACKSONVILLE,FL).
But here are some pictures just to rub it in volvovettes face some more. (By the way I have a few parts for sale as well from this car.)
