The 444/544 had great racing chops. Art Reilly in his P1800 was a SCCA big time winner in class and on the rules committee with guys like Hap Sharp. The list of era cars (Porsches, Cortina, Mustangs, Camaros) that the old tank design Volvos beat in hill climbs, road tracks, Sebring and Daytona is startling.
When the family started growing out went the race worthy 122 and Sunbeam Tiger and in came the family oriented 142. The 142 was the only Volvo I dinged up when it went the wrong way over a cattle guard with a carload of friends. Changed a tire and carried on.
