Volvo's in street machine magazine

Post by classicswede » 03 Feb 2013 12:46 am

I promised years ago that I would look through my old street machine magazines (best car mag ever) and scan all the Volvo's that made it into the mag. Here is a start of the pics from back in day

From the Motorvation page (build ideas)

And the editor Matt Howell's amazon estate

Awesome, there's a whole stack of these at Area52. It really was the best mag ever! Funnily enough there's a couple of them that contain letters from A52 regulars when they were a fair bit younger :lol:
'88 340 Williams (Sold)
'85 360 GLS - Drift project (Sold)
'77 Colt Sigma
'96 940 Drift project
