Head Turner: 1980 Volvo 240 Custom
This next car comes as a tip from Tom C who writes: Just…it’s like…I don’t even…but…**? This is a logical reaction to what can only be reasonably described as a Volvo that has been turned to a boat or perhaps a Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper. I dunno. I think that Dr Freud would have something to say about wish fulfillment or perhaps Oedipus complex, but I’m just spitballin here. Find this 1980 Volvo 240 Custom offered for $7,500 in Auburn, WA via craigslist.

The front end looks like a 240 and a Peugeot 505 mated and had an offspring who became an evil warlord.
Just because you can…

Looks like a perfect car for someone living in the rain forest! ???

Do I hate it so much that I actually love it?
It looks like they couldn't decide what car they really wanted so they proceeded to graft a Porsche 914 on top, some weird old Nissan Skyline GTRish front looking thing and an Alfa Romeo Spyder ducktail on the back and then topped it off with an old Mustang hood scoop.

Apparently somewhere way more fun than here…
Darth Volvo, needs to be in black for full effect. I kinda like this!
This is what happens when you live in a junkyard and have WAY too much time on your hands…
(and lots of beer. WAY too much beer…)

It has a "PANHARD BAR". Don't they all?
Really more like an absinthe bar from the looks of it.
Not that I have anything against absinthe. Mmm wormwood.
