General condition
Attractive renovation that is perceived by the average person as a Sport -65. If you look a bit under the surface, you can discern the origin of this car. The car is fully operational and inspected for all time.

Owner's comment
Facts about the model
Volvo introduced its new 'post-war car,' the PV 444, in September 1944, but it wasn't until February 1947 that the first cars were delivered. The 444 model was produced until 1957, after which it was upgraded to the PV 544 model, which was available from the 1958 to 1966 model years. Originally, the PV 544 had a B16 engine, but from the 1962 model year, it was equipped with a B18 engine. The Sport model featured a slightly detuned P1800 engine and dual SU carburetors. The last PV 544 models were built in the fall of 1965 and were designated as the G model, sold as the 1966 model year. According to reports, 3,401 cars were given the 1966 model designation, of which 345 were Sport models. The very last car was a black Sport, which went directly to the Volvo museum. The PV 544 Sport was both a sought-after and, for its time, a powerful car. In the Sport model with the dual SU carburetors, the G model produced 95 hp.
