Default Volvo 960 Estate - "Paul Newman" edition

Paul Newman is a legend.

He had this Kenne Belle supercharged 5L Volvo wagon built, and convinced David Letterman, and some other bloke to buy one as well.

I'd trade my ute for one of these in a second ;)

Best Volvo ever...http://www.swedespeed.com/news/publi...rticle_33.html

How bad would you feel if you were driving a Mustang or a Vette and getting dragged off with that thing. Classic.

Yup. Car & Driver mentioned that Newman was a little bit peeved when Converse/Letterman publicised his car - what's the point of having a sleeper if people know about it?
