This 1992 Corvette Looks Pretty Swede, Doesn't It?



The car you see here is...sort of like the De Tomaso Pantera. It's a European coupe powered by a Yankee engine - a 1992 Corvette's LT1, to be exact.

I gotta say I've never seen one of these and I think its the sexiest car I've ever seen.

Day late and a dollar short.

I had a 72 Pantera and that thing does not look anything like it.There isn't one body line on that car that resembles a Pantera..These guys should do research before they write articles.......WW

Agreed....

What is the purpose of this? I am not talking about the car, I am talking about these wannabe journalists/bloggers posting junk on the forums front page and linking the stories back into the forums.

The guy is nuts if he thinks it looks like a Pantera.

Pantera -not
More like a Volvo

Volvo P1800, the choice of Simon Templar...he needed that to rob from the rich crooks and give to the needy...in a BIG hurry.


Sorry, not my taste. But always love creativity.

I always liked the Volvo's lines. It's a good looking car. Better than a late model C4? Not to me, but still a good looking car. The problem with the Volvo is it' s woefully underpowered. The LT-1 will solve that little problem big time. Still, why do this? But now that its done, it is kinda cool. Only problem is, on the street, someone will think all you did was drop a LT-1 in a Volvo frame.
As for comparisons to the Pantera, You've got to be kidding. The low production DeTomaso Pantera is a classic, rear engine car that handled like it was on rails. The Volvo is a mass produced, front engine Volvo that was produced after the failure of the first attempt, P1900. There's no comparison. The writer made a mistake. Too bad, it would have been nice just to show the car without that reference.

that's not an LT-I in a volvo body. It's a body kit on a corvette. Look at the layout of the engine bay and the rake on the windshield etc......

Every time these guys post and "article", the slaughter the facts.

Looks like its nicely done, could make a decent DD

Course I always liked oddball stuff

Tally Ho

And the wheels are definitely more C4 than C5. Definitely a Volvo P1800 body kit on a C4 platform and nothing remotely close to the Pantera.

They must be trying out for one of the big news networks.

If you can't find interesting news then just make it up.

No one will notice.

That is the unfortunate truth now days.
