Antal Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 the dash looks like an america dash. Volvo pulling from the ford/gm parts pin probably.In 1990 year the Ford never think that some day will buy Volvo Cars.that thing is pretty cool...did they ever make it to the states?The Volvo 400 series (440, 460 and 480) only be sold in Europe.I think that 3 or 4 480 Turbos are Sold to US Market, but only that units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodrigo Posted September 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Your English is great...I'm going to start posting on VCP in English almost 300k miles and showroom condition still, nice man.Antonio takes care of his baby. I was trying to keep up with the history of the rebuild on VCP..there was a lot of pages with information as to where he got parts, paints, etc, and the whole process of getting new parts that were not supplied by dealers in Portugal. These cars are also extriemely rare to find in junkyards, so he had quite the quest on his hands. Then there was a server crash (was it even a crash?) and all info he was putting up on VCP was lost from its on-line location, but I'm sure Antonio still has it all.In the end..it looks great. Good tohave you on VS, Antonio. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Obrigado. From where is your Portuguese? Private lessons from Rodrigo. Actually, from the internet. A word here, a word there... put together... which is why I said it two different ways, because I was unsure which was closer to being right. Lol.Nice to have you on the boards. :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
