Well, the finalist for 2021 has been announced. And, oh me, oh my, is it a stunner! The 2021 winner is a custom Volvo P1800 Gasser model, with parts constructed from the 1969 line. This vehicle, lovingly dubbed “Ain’t No Saint,” is owned by Lee Johnstone. The car has a 454-cubic-inch big-block Chevrolet engine. This vehicle also offers a 671 GMC supercharger. As well as dual four-barrel carburetors. According to the judges, what won the Volvo gasser the title was the originality that the vehicle presented.
