[s-cars] Re: What Letterman Drives (NAC)

[William Noland]

Letterman (and Paul Newman) did drive one of the infamous Fordvo
conversions -- Take one boxy, old (rear drive) Volvo and drop in the
drivetrain from a trashed V8 Mustang and, viola, the ultimate sleeper
car. Some guy in the Northwest used to (maybe still does?) do these
conversions -- prided himself on using a wide assortment of junk yard
parts to make it all happen. I always thought this would be a kick --
pickup a ratty old Volvo wagon, drop in the Ford V8, supercharge the
sucker, slap on "Free Tibet" and "Shave the Whales" bumperstickers and
go out for some street racing fun.
