Volvo 444 and 454 customs, let's see em

Some of you may know what these are, they're the model that looks like a baby 47 Ford. Any pics of some kool ones? There may be a project available soon.

 

I saw one with a Toyota 20R engine and 5 speed transmission installed in it. It made a very reliable everyday driver and ran better than the stock Volvo push rod engine. The off road mags have ads for all kinds of aftermarket equipment for the 20R engines which are used in most Toyota offroad pick ups.

 

I think you mean 444 and 544, bet there are a ton of customized ones in Sweden.

 

More commonly called the PV444 (earlier, split windshield) and PV544. My wife really wants one of those cars. I've heard of b20 swaps... how hard is the 20r swap? Sounds cool.

But back to your question... if you do a search on the HAMB for Euro rods/customs or Swedish rods, a few have shown up, but most of them were 122s

 

Here's mine. 1964 PV544

 

Here is a Bonanza of Volvo Rods and Customs.....http://community.webshots.com/user/volvorodder Enjoy! C9

 

Volvo Pv 544 and 444 can be really cool kustoms, looks almost like a -47 ford like u said

here is a cool PV who goes here in town:


He also have a cool 122 or Amazon (who we call them in sweden)

 

I've never seen the coupes. That's a good lookin car. I like it.

 

i agree

 

Here's my friend's old 544 racing at Goodwood . he sold it to a guy over in England last year (Julius Thurgood) .



And just for the hell of it , here's my Amazon (daily driver)

 

I really like that first one. The full fadeaway fenders are classy.

 

Here is my 1963 544.

 

Do you have a front and rear shot of the first one??

 

My old daily driver... not so much of a kustom, but I scalloped it at least

 

Looks nice & simple .

 

Lotta potential in those...I see alot in gennie form for sale her in so cal

 

I love this one.

 

Wow!
That black one looks great!

I did some Volvo Renderings some time ago. Four of them can be seen in newest Rodders Journal (number 45).

 

Her's my sister sons a-traktor a pv coupe





merry x-mas

 

Now thats bitchin.

 

Here's the one my dad just picked up . Gonna mildly change things like bumpers and rear taillights and grille

 

Hell yeah, i can see a few red Xs so maybe these have been posted already.
The red PV its been around for years and i think is bad ass,
then the black amazon at the bottom is also something......
Love a well done Volvo.

 

Rendering of my own 544 (TRJ #45):

 

My friend Erik own this cool coupe made of an old 444.

Look at the pic from the rear beside an original 1946-48 Ford coupe.

 

I've always liked those cars.

 

Love bricks

 

Some photos I took in 1982...

 

One of these things just screams for full fadaways, nosed and decked with the hood pie cut, tunneled and frenched front and rear lights and grille, all the seams filled, and if you were really adventurous, extend the hood and round the front fenders like 39-40 Mercury or Continental with 39 Lincoln headlights.
