Buy This Camaro-Murdering Volvo So I Don’t Have To

When it comes to creating the ultimate sleeper, a Volvo is a great starting point. History is littered with lightning fast Volvos, whether they be from the factory, or Frankensteined in someone’s garage. Right now I am staring the latter right in the face and doing everything I can to keep the phone on the table and my wallet in my pants. Just six short hours away from my home sits a Volvo 740 Wagon with a Ford Cobra V8 stuffed under the hood.

Thanks to the wonders of Craigslist, I know that this thing exists, I know it’s for sale, and I know that with just ten-grand and a short drive, I could be embarrassing every Camaro I come across. The want is strong with this one.

Along with the new motor is a new exhaust system, upgraded fuel system, better brakes, track-ready suspension and fresh tires. Oh, did I mention the new T5 manual transmission sitting in the middle?

Be still my beating heart. I need someone to come buy this thing before I buy it myself and give my wife a great reason to call a divorce lawyer.
