  • How often do you see a Volvo slammed on Tesla wheels but also powered by an LS V8 engine? The answer is never, except now! You can thank Shant from Bells and Vaughns Collision Center for taking this craigslist find 1962 Volvo Amazon(122) and completely rebuilding into the radical machine you see here. It weighs nothing, has all the torque and provides all the fun, enjoy!

      I prefer the more classic look of the 240 but the 740/940 has a more boxy and raw look.
