1992 Chevrolet Corvette Custom Coupe

Ever wondered what a Volvo P1800 would look like as a Corvette? Wonder no more as we have an answer here at MotoeXotica Classic Cars.

Built in May 1992 at General Motors' Bowling Green, Kentucky factory, this donor Corvette has been rebodied into a larger Volvo P1800 Coupe. Reportedly from a previous seller:

“It is a complete 1992 Corvette and a complete 1967 Volvo 1800 [that] were the starting point for this professionally constructed custom car. The body panels of the Corvette were modified and replaced with the Volvo 1800 body parts to create a vehicle that appears to be a modern-looking Volvo 1800 but with all the amenities of a modern vehicle. This car is a Corvette that looks very much like a custom Volvo 1800. It is titled and licensed as a 1992 Corvette.”

The bodywork is a mix of metal or fiberglass and is in overall very good condition with minor defects. The bodywork is straight and solid. It eschews the Corvette's revolving headlamps and nose with foglights for the Volvo's round headlights and stretched oval grille. The front fenders and hood are forward-hinged to gain access to the engine. The doors are a mix of Corvette above the beltline with the windows and sideview mirrors and Volvo below the beltline, with the Volvo door hardware and lower panels. In back are the Volvo's tailfins, rear window, trunk and taillights plus its chrome bumper. The Corvette's rear hatch has been replaced by the Volvo's rear side windows.

This combination of cars rolls on a mix of General Altimax radials in front, size 255/45ZR17 and Avon Tech M500 radials in back, size 275/40ZR17. Each radial is mounted to a five-spoke alloy wheel. The wheels and tires are all in very good order.

Under that big hood, it's all Corvette – a 5.7L LT1 Generation II V-8 engine that has 16 valves and multi-port fuel injection. Backing this motor is a four-speed automatic transmission (code 4L60E). Driver convenience features include air-conditioning, power rack-and-pinion steering, power four-wheel disc brakes, cruise control, tilt steering column, power windows, power locks, power sideview mirrors and rear window defroster.

Safety features include dual front airbags and anti-lock brakes.

Inside, the black leather interior is all Corvette. The bucket seats are in satisfactory shape while the carpet and headliner look great. A four-wheel steering wheel faces the driver. The dashboard and inner door panels are in satisfactory order. The center console and console-mounted shifter are in good, original order. A Delco AM/FM stereo rounds out the interior.

If a mash-up between Chevrolet's Plastic Fantastic and Volvo's brief foray into a two-seater here appeals to you, visit MotoeXotica Classic Cars to check out this “Volvette” for yourself.
