I saw this wagon for sale 6 years ago in AZ at dealer. It was on the back of a Volvo magzine. I think it was 12k, but its a stick. Paul in known for his fast Volvos. He also had a 745 is a supercharged 5.0. That one is floating around somewhere. I have never been able to find pictures of this one though. It looks like some one bought it back east...

Chris- that conversion is sweet with the intercooled setup. What year Volvo looked like that?

84-88 was that body style. I have a 87 and was going to do that to mine. The problem is the rear end would not hold up very well. It would work but no slicks. It also has a lot of junk under the rear. It would not have been fun to put a 9 or 8.8 in. It was better for me to find my 240 and do it. The wagons weigh 3400 # so it would be the same weight as a gn with the motor and trans.

It sure is a nice ride though.

Back in the mid-late 90's there was a Studebacker Hawk w/a LC2. He always took it to St. Ignace.

The guy claimed he was high up in Buick and swiped a leftover GNX engine/trans. The car was pretty trick.
