Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to present this wild and
unique, 1959 Volvo PV544! Anyone familiar with Volvos knows the
styling inspiration of the Volvo P544 has far more in common with
1940s Ford Tudors than anything associated with Volvo today. The
50s era Volvos came out the box with sturdy build quality, fat
fenders fast back roofs and a tendency to exploit its standard or
modified 4 cylinder to the occasional Rally wins. It was well onto
its way to becoming a Rally Legend. The seller of this Silver and
Black Volvo PV544 took the racing and performance history of the
old PV544 to a level the racers of the past could only dream of.
first out went the 4 banger and in with a Japan sourced 2 JZGTE
twin turbo inline six engine! These monsters are known for their
power. A motor repped the world over for shrugging off 600-800hp
with mostly stock internals and copious amounts of boost...then
laughing and begging for more. But he didn't stop there. A four
speed Toyota automatic from a GS300 and a ford 8.5" rear end with
3.73 gears was also stuffed under the car. This ensures the car has
no problem blitzing down the road. Inside, there's black race
seats, custom chrome gauges and center console, with custom door
cards. A great place to surprise the uninitiated and revel in the
madness of a Supra engine in a 1950s Volvo! Additionally, there's a
Boomin sound system and AM/FM radio for when you get tired of the
2JZ roar - like that will ever happen. The car rides on 17"
machined wheels with modern low-profile tires and disk brakes and
upgraded shocks at all four corners. This 59 Volvo PV544 is a
monster and a one-of-a-kind build. If you have a hankering for
something never seen and wild and extreme, this old Volvo is for
you!
