700hp Volvo Amazon-Bodied Corvette!?

  • We love Volvos. We love power. Unfortunately, those don't usually go hand in hand. But our buddy Jeff Allen remedied that, and then some - by fully chassis swapping a super clean Volvo Amazon body onto a Corvette Z06 chassis. We think we're in love. Actually, we know why are. We've got a feeling this thing is amazingly sketchy to drive.

      well... not much LS's in the Amazon even in Sweden...
      if V8's its usually Rover Alu V8's as they are road-legal in a lot of Volvo's like the Amazon, 140\160-series, 240 and 700 series.
      though an 300bhp V8 2stroke Evinrude outboard engine in an Amazon, well... that also goes fine ^^ (not road legal but still...)

My opinion ,I have never seen anyone build one of these types of projects(like a body swap type) that's so perfect. My mind was blown with the details and perfection. If you didn't know it you'd think it was Factory. Just an awesome example of custom car culture.
