Against all those 'Musclecars',,,,,,,

A 1962 Volvo PV544,
1.8 L (109 cubic inch), 80 HP, Model #B18D engine
An In-line 4-cylinder (8.5-1 compression) with twin side-draft carbs.
Factory-equipped with 4.56 gears.

Classed in T/S (1968), U/S (1969) and V/S (1970)
Car weight; 2050
Weight/Horsepower bracket = 25.00 to 26.99

Car ran 15.80's @ 87 MPH

My buddy's mom had one of those back in the mid sixties. We used to slap the rear trunk lid and it would buckle in for a second and make a sound like a cheap garbage can being beat with a bat. It still makes me laugh now.

The funny thing about this car is we took it out of 40 years of storage added some new M/T slicks a Line lock updated the 30 weight engine oil to 5w20 new trans and rear end fluid (synthetic). Cleaned it up never touched the valve springs and ran 3 tenths faster the first hit out by the end of the day we were under the old record by 4 thenths my dad was cracking up. We have a video somewhere of that day I will find it and download it. This was at the 1st Dover Reunion at Island

Can't forget about the Little Red Wagon, Tommy Ivo, or Big Daddy.

What is Snake doing in Ivo's 4 engine dragster,,I never knew that he made a pass in it,, maybe it was just a photo op. I just recently picked up Ivo's new book,, haven't started reading it yet,but I hear its pretty good.
