The Volvo you never knew you needed! LS-powered ’62 Volvo Amazon

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

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!
