Powered by a Ford 302ci V8 unit, this tuned Mystic Silver 1978 Volvo 262C also features single round headlights, a flat hood and a non-factory 3.73 rear end.
The car is currently listed on Bring a Trailer, and with 1 day left to bid, the highest anyone has gone is $2,300. In return, you get a customized classic, with just 57,000 miles (91,732 km) on the clock.
According to the ad, this car’s front fascia was converted to a pre-1979 single round headlights look, which you could argue makes it seem even more rugged. Other mods include IPD 25mm anti-sway bars front and rear, GT tower braces and a lower chassis brace.
Inside, there’s some bubbling under the vinyl and corrosion behind the right rear wheel and along some of the window edges. If you can get past its shortcomings, like the corrosion or the busted A/C, you’ll probably enjoy the Volvo 780 front and rear seats, with functional power adjustments for the front seats.
The dashboard features a GT gauge panel and a series of custom gauges on the center console – helping you keep that 1990 Mustang V8 engine in check. Also new are the custom dual exhaust and the brakes, refreshed with a new booster, master cylinder, soft lines, calipers, pads and front rotors.
This Volvo may not be in perfect condition, but fans of the Swedish brand would definitely notice it on the street.
