Volvo pushrod performance dreams

I thought it might be nice to have pictures on this blog that are not of my own cars for once---so here are a few shots of some beautiful hot-rodded B20 motors, mostly from Sweden.







Those Swedes know how to make an old Volvo look good...and the last shot is perhaps the hottest 145 in existence. I saved the picture from a craigslist posting in the Bay Area. It sold immediately.

Nah... I don't like what they did to the grill in '73.

hey! nice site - I enjoy seeing the pics of all the 140s!

The light blue car with the rollbar/panasport wheels above is mine - I've got some more pics if you want 'em!
((and I'm super-jealous of your $36 steering wheel! I'm going to start hunting around on e-bay))

That yellow 145 is my old car! It took forever to sell, actually, and I had to practically give it away in the end.

I have a bunch of pictures of it if you want any more.

Yeah, I'd love pics of the light blue one!

And thanks for the other pics of the yellow wagon; that is one hot car...hope it went to a good home.
