Volvo 850 T5 R pickup conversion is ready for a cool yule
Filed under: Aftermarket, Classics, Truck, Europe, Volvo, Specialty, Design/Style
There are plenty of ways to get your holiday tree home from the farm, but few are so classy as this Volvo 850 ute. Built in Sweden and shipped to Belgium, the car wears all of the necessary kit to pass as a 850R, and with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder under the hood, this creation should have no trouble dashing through the snow. Looks like a mighty fine use of an otherwise derelict Volvo wagon to us, though we have to imagine all that torque steer and no weight over the aft would make for all sorts of silliness once the roads went slick.
Still, if it were our Sawzall, we'd be happier with the keys to a certain BMW M5 utility in our pocket. Or, you know, the 3 Series conversion BMW whipped up not too long ago. You can head over to Autofans.be for a closer look at the 850 ute.Volvo 850 T5 R pickup conversion is ready for a cool yule originally appeared on Autoblog on Mon, 10 Dec 2012 19:01:00 EST.
