Tell me this thing isn't begging for a 5.0/T5 swap...

I love these cars. Rare as hell (something like 6,000 built between 1986 and 1992). Based on the Volvo 7-series sedan, so 5.0 swap kits are plentiful. Wish I had the extra $2k lying around...

that isn't to bad. i can think of several other cars that i would do it to. they look more sporty. that would make a killer sleeper.
