Then again, I faltered at the round brake and clutch pedals. I haven't seen a round set of pedals since my friend sold his 50's Plymouth. Ah, the sound that clutch made when you released it.
But I digress.
This is not crack, it's an opium den dream. WAKE UP! #1967volvolaplander

But just look at it. It has Jeep FC awesomeness in a van form that Jeep never made in numbers (well, the Spanish did).
The wiki says it's an L3314HT and that it also has a differential brake (LSD?). #1967volvolaplander

2. all the extras that go with it make it a pretty good value considering how much it would cost you to buy all that stuff for any other 4x4. this is considering that they all work.
I wouldn't buy it because I don't live out in the middle of the rugged wilderness but, if i did i would definitely consider it. I would also stock up on parts. #1967volvolaplander

The most butch Volvo ever? Er, that's not saying much, is it? After all, it was built for an army that hasn't seen any real combat since 1814 outside of the occasional peacekeeping mission.

And now, in the same unpronounceable vein, Lapplander. Well, actually, I can say that. But the only thing that keeps this from being the Jolly Blue Giant's lunchbox is a big ol' handle on the roof. And I might be strongly inclined to add one.
It's compelling and quirky, two very highly desireable traits I hold near and dear. But also dear is the price. That's just too much. It's a thousand years old and powered by an annoyingly sturdy engine that will never break badly enough that I get to hog it out and bolt in something fun. The shape is an issue - some cars, like the BMW M1, look fast even sitting still. The Lappsitter is going to look slow even plummeting off a cliff. Four-wheel drive and a military background are going to inspire me to get mightily stuck, broke, and way the hell away from both AAA and the Autozone which won't have parts for my weird, quirky, slow but rugged lunchbox.
Crack Pipe. But if I had the money, I'd probably buy it anyway. It's bad for me. That's why it's crack. #1967volvolaplander
