Yeah so this is my everyday car. It's my dad's really, but I use it as my own. And yes, the ICE is installed by me.
Enjoy!

Beautiful car. Has it been in your family for a while?
You know, I've always liked those. Back when Volvo still had style. Nice car!!!!!
An it harm none, do as ye will
Approximately 79% of statistics are made up.
When I get my licence, I get my dad's '65 PV544 Sport. That's a nice Volvo. I plan to make it rally-spec (up to 120 hp from 85, and disk brakes)
No actually it hasn't. We traded a Volvo 142 for it a few months before my eighteenth birthday. So I have been driving it almost every day, at least a couple of times every week, ever since I got my license.Originally Posted by Spastik_Roach
If you need any of the information from the link translated, I shall gladly help.
Turbonutter: My dad has formed a small club for those who are interested in and/or own an old Volvo. One of the members drives a 544, only he has changed the stock 1.8 litre engine to the 2.0, fitted a double carburettor system with homemade filters to it, changed the cam axle and the exhaust system. It spits out around 140 HP, so there's lots of potential in this engine
I can only recommend that you change the single carburettor to a set of two. I had one mounted on this car once, and it was a clearly a noticeable difference. Unfortunately it also used a lot of extra gas this way. But besides from the awesomness of the sound (BOOOAAAARRP ) it was also much fun to just see how surprised other drivers could be, when the small Volvo suddenly "ran away"
Probably the only UCP member without a car D:
I think the Sport already has twin Weber carbs and puts out 85 horsepower. On a twisty country road, it's great (other than the brakes) and I can always fit bigger carbs.
I suppose you're right. My knowledge about the 544's are limited, as we do not have one ourselves. It should not take to long before we do though
When do you get your license? And where are you from?
Probably the only UCP member without a car D:
License: 2 or 3 years, but permit in 1. And the car's in New England.

Nice car, and most is still original very good.
