1991 Volvo 240 Crew Cab
We’ve seen Volvo 240 pickup conversions before, but never a crew cab! This one retains rear doors and a rear seat, although the seat back angle doesn’t scream comfort. This seems to be a very well done pickup conversion which started with a wagon. The bed is even trimmed out on top and the tailgate…

Volvo 940 Batmobile
Admit it, you’ve all looked at delightfully boxy, 80s and 90s Volvos and wondered what they would look like as Batmobiles. Well, someone decided to find out. There’s a lot of DIY handiwork here and the photos mostly speak for themselves. Here’s a quote we love: “a few spots where hot glue was used ,…

Mid-Engine Military Volvo
We in the US didn’t see them often, but Volvo made some thoroughly impressive and interesting military vehicles over the years. This C303 platform was under many truly a go-anywhere vehicles, and today’s feature is the “TGB 1111” variant, which means it’s the (sporty?) cabriolet version. The seller provides almost no information, but we know…

The ipd Volvo 142E is For Sale!
If you have any interest in older Volvos, you know ipd. They supply the most popular upgrades for most Volvo models, from body parts to cams to sway bars to exhausts. This is what ipd calls their first widely publicized project car and has inspired many fellow Brick enthusiasts. After all, the 140 series is…

Minty Brick
We here at Oddimotive have a soft spot for the Volvo 142 – the original Brick – as your humble host once had one and will, someday, have one again. This example is highly desireable, as it is the 142E from 1972. That means ‘tunable’ Bosch D-Jet electronic fuel injection, the more modern shifter location…

Does The World Need A Volvette 1800?
One day, someone looked at his or her 1992 Corvette and said “why not make that into a Volvo 1800 replica?” The rest is history. Strange, strange history. Underneath, this is a claimed fully functional 178K mile Corvette. The pictures really tell the rest of the story. We find it hard to believe anyone will…

It’s 1990 Again!
This car is a delightfully tan 1986 Volvo 240 wagon (formerly known as a 245). Sadly, this one has an automatic trans. What we love about this ad, though, is the “flashback photo” nature with the 90-ish Accord the only other car clearly in view. Also, 7-Eleven brand identity hasn’t changed much, so it really…

The Original Brick in Wagon Form
Here we have a rarely-seen-in-this-condition Volvo 140 series. Even better, it’s the 145, which means a five-door wagon! Even better, it’s a four-speed wagon. The Volvo 240 gets a lot of attention and is the most commonly referenced Brick, but it all started with the 140. As many know, a 142 is a two-door coupe/sedan,…

Tasty Turbo Brick
This 1982 Volvo 242 GLT is one cool brick – GLT means Grande Luxe Touring and this was Volvo’s luxury/sport offering. Some of these had the not-so-exciting PRV V6, but this one is equipped with a turbo four and manual trans. The seller points out that the turbo likely needs a rebuild and there may…

Swedish Beachmobile?
The seller offers little detail, but claims this is a running PV544 with a clean title. If you want 40s Ford styling with Swedish reliability, this is the car for you! In other good news, the seller does specify this has a four-speed manual. The images certainly show a complete car, but we can’t do…
