That looks phat! Almost Capri-ish or Dodge Charger like from the front. I wonder what lies within it?

I agree Pete , the front wings are almost certainly MK2 capri ,rear arches are either X pack capri or escort .

it looks like its had a roof chop as well ,

At first I thought it was just a cut and shut ( capri front / volvo rear ) going by the lack of metal between the door and the rear side window.
but now I am having even darker thoughts!!!!!

Is it me or do's anyone else think the rear side window is too long ?

It might be an optical illusion or perhaps this is more capri than volvo ,

imagine ( if you will ) a capri pick up with x pack rear arches ( to save trying to match the body line ),

then cut off the rear roof section of a 300 volvo , stretch it and widen it until it fits the capri pick up and bobs your uncle a CAPVO or a VOLPRI


would like to see the real thing but I doubt if it has survived the ravages of time
