This makes me think of the volvette...

As soon as I got a Volvo everyone was posting pictures of the Volvette to me.  It's a cool car, but I like the boxy ones better.   

Picked up an 8.8 rear today, now I have to get another one so I can narrow it with two short side axle shafts.

I love when people show me the Volvette like I've never seen it.  Not only have I seen it, but I'm friends with Dug and bought my hood from him, picking up at his house.  It was sitting against the garage that houses the beast.  Dug is also a heckuva stunt rider.

Volvo 243?

Where do I get the white wheels on the maroon wagon? And do you need wheel spacers to make them fit? I have to decide whether to match the front lug pattern to the 8.8's or vice versatile. 5x114.3 is much more popular

That I don't know.  They do look pretty hot...

Another Volvo wagon that looks like fun...     (from Jalopnik)

Hard parked in the weeds.



Still junk and slow, but I do have an 8.8 sitting around now, patiently waiting.

Darth Viper i really hate you right now. Lol I want a 240 two door SOOOOOOOOOO bad.

How can the boxiest car ever look so damn good?

Fuck you dude... now I want to sell my SRT4 and use that money to buy a MINT 240 and LSx swap it. FUUUCK. Check this out:

Even if a guy had to pay $3k for that car it is MINT. Drive it until I have all of the parts for the swap (wait until summer when I can drive the RX-7 since it will be done then) and then throw a 5.3L/T56 in there and call it a day.

LOL.  I do love my Vulvas.

They are decent to drive stock, have a solid rear, plenty of room under the hood, just begging for LS power.

I used to have a set on a Civic, they are Spun Supamesh...you can get them in a million different colors.

If you look closely at the picture it looks like there is a spacer up front and out back, it looks fairly thick.
