Yeah - never ceases to amaze me how many people either 1) walk right past mine at car shows/cruise-ins without even LOOKING to see what's under the hood, or 2) they look, but they don't realize that anything is really different or unique. And the ones that really cracked me up are those that look it up and down and then quietly, off to the side, tell me that they didn't realize you could get a V8 in a Volvo back then. It's for them that I had a 'custom' new car sticker made up that looks just like a stock 82 Volvo window sticker, except for the "North American GT Option" complete with different trim, wheels, tires, and of course the 'ohv 5.0L V8 with EFI'. That really has 'em scratching their heads and calling their friend "Bubba" over for a second opinion. I'm certain that has caused more than a few to ABSOLUTELY SWEAR to their friends that the Ford 5.0L V8 was an optional, but rare, engine available in the Volvos back then. Why? "Dang it Vernon, I TOLD YOU, I've SEEN the winder sticker with my own eyes!!!"
