Description
This car started life as a four-door hardtop, but Örjan Molin dreamed of owning a two-door coupe. Since they were too expensive to buy at the time, he came up with a creative solution. Using what he had and tweaking the formula a bit, he built something more to his taste — the result was a two-door coupe. The conversion took place in the late 1970s, at which point the car had a flip front end and a Chevrolet 396/425HP Big Block, running the ¼ mile in 11.41 seconds.
It was rebuilt, repainted, and completed again about 15 years ago. To pass inspection, a Chevrolet 350 Small Block was installed, featuring aluminum heads (an empty Edelbrock box suggests the brand), aluminum intake, Holley carburetor, headers, Accel ignition, and a slightly hotter camshaft.
A new Borg Warner T10 four-speed transmission with a new Hurst shifter was fitted, along with a limited-slip 9" Ford rear end with 4.11 gearing. Drum brakes are fitted all around. Power steering and a line lock are installed.
The car is now exempt from inspection under current regulations.
Four older slicks on rims are included in the sale. A rear seat is available, but it’s uncertain whether it can be installed with the roll cage in place.

Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The Chevy is drivable but would benefit from some tuning to get the engine running at its best.
-
Interior condition
Not much more to say—see the photos. We haven’t had the opportunity to check all functions and gauges during the brief test drive. The heater unit is missing.
-
Exterior condition
There are some scratches and scuff marks/damage, particularly on the right front corner, as well as a few scrapes along the right side of the body from an unfortunate encounter with a door frame.
-
General condition
A wonderfully worn condition that tells the story of its past. This is a car that has lived a rich life as a race car. Keep it just the way it is—and keep driving it.

Auction information
General information about the condition of the vehicles .
- At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
- During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
