You find a lovely farmhouse set on a decent plot of land. The place has been empty for 15 years! While your exploring your new propery you find a large barn in the trees. The door is padlocked shut and the lock is rusted solid, so you bust it open... And this is what you find inside... A slot car! Just joking around! (story borrowed and adapted) 50s

They had a 3 cylinder, two stroke engine, front wheel drive, and were unbeatable in snow. Nice slot car! A Volvo 544 would be a good companion for it. Any of those in the barn?

My college roommate had a beige one. It was a blast. I even got to drive it in the snow a few times! I wish I could find a Volvo body like the one you mentioned. I loved those cars when I was kid. Not aware of anyone who makes it. Thanks, Dutch! I did it. As Robert pointed out that's what it is -- a 1964 vintage from what I can tell, but they made it for a while in the 70s, which I think was what my roommate had. Believe or not a high school buddy of mine had a Panhard -- a french car with an aircraft engine! I think that's why I like these weird little oddities so much. The Saab body is an OCAR kit that I bought from a retailer in England. BTW: I was checking out the link to the story about the barn in portugal that I was making fun of in my first post and there really was a Saab like this one in the barn! 50s Last Edited By: borninthe50s 05/01/08 08:10 PM.

Can you imagine the exhaust emissions profile??? Nice car btw. Need to see it on a track! Cheers, Mike My Wood Track Pictorial

Weird little cars....but then even the current Saabs are strange Anyone can restore a classic car, but it takes a real Hotrodder to cut one up and make it cool!
