Hot Rods '65 Volvo PV544 Street Rod

[JReece]

I just got myself a really cool Volvo, never thought I'd say that. But I love it, it's such a neat car. It's a 1965 Sport with the B16 with Dual Carbs and the 4 Speed. Has a Fuel Cell and the rear wheels have been banded 2" and has 205 tires on the rear.

Most of all build what you want, do what you want, it's your car. My uncle has always said, "If you like it, I love it." Meaning doesn't matter if he likes it or not, because it isn't his car.

Reece one of my favourite cars and possibly a strong contender for my next car . Love them, a very US styled car, just a little smaller. Parts are still plentyful aswell.

I've got a nicely built B20 on Webers waiting for the right car. Also got some sectioned rear light housings.

Car looks great by the way!!!

I've always liked those. 40 Ford that got wet.


DUDE, where did you get that picture of Lily??????????????????

[gasolinescream]

I've seen quite a few of these cars on the HAMB. Styles been going since 55, the PV was out in 58. Perfect 2 door cruiser, even if it is european

I'd love it, just wouldn't call it a Street Rod, especially here

I stare at this pic so much. This is exactly what i'd have. A mint stocker, few subtle custom mods, nicely slammed with a warmed B20 in it. Okay it's not a Ford or Chevy etc but hey ho, fucking cool car either way, even if it is a euro box
Started making these in 55, the PV in 58, all LHD and 2 door. Cool ass car!!

Cool! I've always loved those cars.
The motor & trans are stock. Think about upgrading to a B18 or B20. I think they are bolt in replacements.

Nice to see some Swedish iron here to Looks really great! a friend of mine has a 1961 544, Really nice cars! and they are getting a bit rare!

NICE! By the way, you have a B18 (or B20) engine in that not the older B16.

Here's an old thread, http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...d.php?t=325390

Reece check your engine block. You may have a B18 already in there. The B16's were fased out in 1962 and replaced with the B18. As yours is dual carb (if original) your engine code should be B18D. If it is a B20 will bolt straight up. Find one in a very O/T 1800s/142 or 240 with the bosch ignition and carb it.

From what i know they made these cars in Canada in 1963 outside of Sweden and some of them were fitted with the earlier 3 bearing B16.

I've pm'd you

Not saying your drawers are in a bunch...just expect some backlash.

I love BACKLASH. Everybody had there own opinion, especially on here.

And yes, I still think of it as a street rod, maybe not all the way yet, but I love this one below!

I do, I do, and I'm DUMB. I know it's a B18D, just went crazy when I was typing. Sorry for the confusion. I keep wandering why everyone was saying drop in a B18 or B20, considering I already had one. I'm crazy.
