Not for nothing , but it looks an awful lot like a knockoff of the Prowler from Chrysler ( discontinued now ) .

I saw a Prowler today, extremely rare to see one on the road.

Also in the rare to see category was a 911 GT3 Clubsport, fitted out with the full GT3 RS race-car body kit, huge rear wing and all. :eek: Noisy too. :eek:

I've seen a few up close and personal , and I'd agree they are vanishingly rare here as well . I had always wished I had had the dough to pick one up , although I never liked the way they looked in advertisements, in person they were much better suited to my tastes -^

I find it funny a company like Volvo would be after loooking like they were literally picking up Chryslers design books. Maybe especially Volvo ^_^

Thye never imported them here, but yeah, saw pics of that before the SEMA show, from a show in Sweden, looks awsome, mid mounted twin turbo 6 is nice and leaf springs, even more classic!

How is it now? Is it Ford og GM who owns Volvo these days? Might not be so strange after all...

Ford owns them, but the car is basically a retro car without a classic bod, say if all this stuff was stuck in a PV it'd be retro as most of it is an S80, this is just a custom bodyu and chassis with S80 parts...
