Default 1960 Volvo PV544

This Exquisite Example Of A Mild Customized PV 544 Body in Coca Cola Red is eye popping in the sun, the shade or anywhere else you see it. A great deal of money was invested in this one of a kind driver / show car.

The interior utilizes the stock seat frames dressed in black felt-like cloth and vinyl with bright red piping and stitching. The dash sports a custom vinyl dash pad that match the seats with custom gauges set in Alder-wood and in dash mounted air vents.

The power train has less than 3,000 miles and is all Volvo with a many upgrades. The engine is a Highly Modified B20 crate engine coupled to a Volvo M41 Four Speed Transmission and drives a PV544 Rear End. This combination of components has enough power to smoke the rear wheels all the way through 1st and 2nd gears as was captured on video at a local asphalt track on its first outing (See the photo of the “car show sign board” for engine details). No! I do not race this car. I was asked to light-em-up at a car show and to my surprise: It Did!

This car is an absolute blast to drive at any speed. Around town it is a dream to drive at city speed limits. On the highway the Modified B20 Engine really comes to life. When I feel like having a bit-of-fun, I use a full throttle shift point of 6,900 rpm while the 12” Glass-Pac thunders a 119 DB meter reading at the rear of the car. And, at that engine speed it still wants to rev up more (This car has won loudest exhaust award at a car show in both open and closed exhaust systems). On the other end of the rpm range the exhaust note is pleasant and easy on the ears at city speed limits. At 65 mph no down shift needed to pass a car on a 2 lane highway. Mash the gas to the floor and the dual 38 Weber Carburetor responds instantly to accelerate to over 90 mph before you pull out of the passing lane with just enough room to not cut off the car you are passing. I do not know what the top speed is at this juncture, but, it is geared for 127 mph with a stock engine at 6,000 rpm. There is no doubt in my mind this car is capable of pulling 6,900 rpm or more at top speed.
