Qulte few 165 conversions have been built over the years, but this seems to the only one Volvo ever did.

Lex Brooklands made a few in the UK as well, again not Gothenburg, but they were the official importer. In that instance I belive they started with some complete flood damaged cars. I seem to remember it was either 3 or 5 cars they did.
