If he's into Volvos, tell him to check out this video. I'm no fan of imports, but I would make an exception for something like this------>

Dodge is now owned by the Italians, so now we will have to live with the Fiat commercials.

I'm a HUGE fan of this P1800. Volvo IMO is the toughest (reliability) car the world has ever seen.

How about almost 3 million miles on one car??

And THese are undoubtedly the hottest P1800's on the planet. Foose, move over dude! I love the Early vette style quarter bumpers

An apprentice that worked for me did one of these a couple years ago with the blower. Sure isn't the coolest looking but makes fools of many from a stoplight.

Oh yah, the billboards. We can all identify with the cars and the sayings growing up with an appreciation or pride for what we drive.

The 2JZ Volvo he actually sent me a few weeks back, which is ironic being that it racing a Supra which would of been the donor for the 2JZ swap (godly engine for Japanese cars)

We have always talked about either both doing 2JZ or lsx swaps in the future.

Hemi, quit testing us!

The photo of the P1800 is just a 3d rendering as far as I know. There is a guy building a P1800 based on the Vox renditions here;
