InDy, where do you find this stuff? That's awesome. It's a great motor. Seeing it used in a sports car is just icing on the cake.

Maine is a significant state in the Union nowadays (not that it ever wasn't). As a home to some of the better V8 conversions to older Volvos, this company is now also out of there. Interesting.

George,
Actually the guy from Indigo Motorcars posted their car's pic on Brickboard's gallery section. Pretty cool kit car, I just wonder if they would ever consider dropping the T6 instead. That'll be a monster~!!

Wow, that's cool. Yeah, if they could put the T-6 on there, that'd be AWESMOME!

Well, it seems like the story about this company is that the owner, Jösse Car ran out of money so they quit bulding the Indigo 3000. I think that there were only 42 running cars made. You might notice that the 3.0 inline-6 is from the Volvo 960, not the current S80 2.9 & 2.8 inline-6's. Supposedly, the first tests on this car were done in '96, and production began in late '97 The price for the Indigo 3000 was around $25k - 32k.
