Volvo 544 Sedan (or saloon); Werner Gudzus successfully raced one in
Canada in the 60's; did so well he earned a sponsored ride in a Porsche
RS-60 racer.

Typical Volvo OHV 4-cyl, precursor of the B-18, B-20 mills, twin SU
carbs, I *think* inch and a half throats. Mind you, this is all from
memory and I'm 62.
