I was driving with the family and saw this nice mustang ahead of me and said, "wow, nice rims". I was in the middle of telling my wife how almost all hood scoops on Mustangs are fake...then I saw it was a Shelby GT 500...Wifey didn't quite understand why i wanted a picture of it. Beautiful. This was a month or so ago in Okotoks.

Saw this at lunch today and couldn't fingure out what it was. Went in for a closer look and saw that it is a n old Volvo Sports car of some sort. It was in mint condition, interior and everything minty mint mint. Very nice car. Anyone have any information on the car? Year? Model?

I want to say that's a Volvo P1800, but I could be wrong. Nice Panasports.

Those are sick. Not a huge fan of the Shelby's color, but both nice none the less.

Anyone know the year of that Volvo?

Found this online, says its a 1972 Volvo P1800. Has some slight differences with the one I saw, perhaps just a different year.

That GT500 is a super snake (conversion done by Shelby in Las Vegas).....625HP or 700HP versions i believe....

Beautiful.....:drool:

Spotted a gray convertible Shelby GT500 in the SW this morning but didn't have a chance to take a pic. Sounded nice.

P1800 -- the "saint's" car, driven by Roger Moore I belive back in the 60s...

I've driven one, slow as fcuk... but apparently just as reliable as any volvo ever made

this one may have had some stuff done or might have been a bertone' design version
