1972 Volvo 144 Reviews, Pricing & Specs

actually its a 145 not a 144 but for some reason the 145 is not listed? has dual su hi6 carbs on a b20b motor 4cyl with 4speed m44 trany they arnt super fast but if one wanted to u could rebuild them and get alot more hosrepower outa the little 4banger in this tank. now for the apearence mines bit rust well more then a bit ll the botem is rusted out but that has to do with the climate and such salty roads and such are hard on these old cars otherwise its held up prity good the interior has that 1960's look to it vs the 240 look that was brought in in the 73 version of the 140 searies cheap to insure witch is a plus gas millage is 22-25mpg witch considering the dual carbs is pritty good. fun running around in this little tank the rore of the b20 and the wine of the m44 trany all together with shifting gears makes for a fun rideAug 17, 2009

The car is a blast, I love it. As far performance, I wish the idiot that had it before me would have left it fuel injected. Instead it has SU carbs. It was originally cypress green, and the same moron spray painted it red. I just bought the car for $550, and it only has 78,000 original miles. It's only been getting 15-20 mpg in town, because i need to get the carbs adjusted until I can afford better ones. The spray paint actually looks pretty god, but I would prefer the original paint, and the interior is in good shape, but reminds me of an ugly suit at Goodwill, but an expensive ugly suit. I named the car Grumpy, and we all love him.Jun 29, 2009
