Considering that it was Bjorn who posted this topic it MUST be a Volvo! laugh
I´d say it´s a Volco PV 544 B-18, produced in 1958-1969, upgraded with a Chevy small block smile

260 Z...you guys got it...the thin I thought to be a giveway is the "extra" small hood at the side ,you can see into the back of the fender (both sides ,but only one shows)
