The PV444/544 was a passenger car made by Volvo for the post WWII car market. The PV was the first unibody automobile
from Volvo when it was first released for the 1947 model year and somehow managed to survive with little changes through the 1966 model year. Imagine cross shopping Ford's iconic Mustang and this piece of bathtub shaped 40s steel in the same weekend in 1965. What a hoot! The
PV444/544 was only ever powered by the Volvo's B-series inline four mated to the
rear wheels...but...someone managed to shove a tri-carb fed domestic inline-6 up front in this one. Find this
1963 Volvo PV-544 Inline-6 offered for $3,500 in Hamilton, OH via craigslist.
Tip from Scot.
This week's Thursday Twister came from a tip from Terry B who writes: You could not restore this car for the asking price........if this is what you want??? And I like it. I like any car where the cost of restoration is far less than the asking price, like on this 1965 Volvo PV544 offered for $9,600 near Sacramento, CA.
