Found IT! 2483866939 on ebay! Absolutely the car of my dreams. 444
Vehicle Description
you are bidding on a 1957 volvo 444, 2 dr. coupe. it is a swedish version (not US spec). car is missing engine, transmission and driveshaft. it was used for a prop by volvo cars of north america. the cars were stacked 5 high and this was the top one at the N.Y. auto show. original color was blue but painted white for the photo shoot. later it was used in the intro of the 850 model going across the desert and it was painted red to match the 850 color. it has been stored on gravel recently and has some slight floor rot. the paint is very thick and is peeling from the metal in some places. all lights wiper motor trim etc are in place. it would make an ideal transplant recipiant for SCCA racing or for fun. no headliner, chrome could use replating but no rot thru, no radiator or shroud, hub caps are present, no trim rings. there is no evidence of any major body damage. trunk handle and bulls eye license plate light, radio are all missing. buyer is responsible for picking up from zip 10965
And it have never had an engine while in this country. Has been sitting waiting for me for years and I cannot wait. Split windshield is cooler as is a smaller window in the rear. Not to mention the crazy taillights on the body (not fenders) and the single turn signals at the top, rear of the door!
Virgil 2.0 here we go!
