I'm Tempted......

You should be tempted, Doug. That's a right neat car there.
 
Hey there Doug, Nice 122. It looks really solid. I work on a couple of these still. The 68s have some 1 or 2 year only stuff, like the dual circuit master cylinder. I may have a couple of those around still, but they may have gone to Ebay. Volvo still has a LOT of parts for these including the dash pad, window gaskets and things like that. They have good aftermarket support too. Best of all, an OD trans is almost a bolt up. They were made that way, but not so common here in the US. I think IPD still has sway bars and nylon bushings available. . I like 122s, and they will run forever, and the seats are good enough that it wont beat you to death while you are "running it forever".
 
They were a very reliable car. Also, you don't need $10,000 worth of shop equipment to work on them! I had a 544 years ago and it was one tough car. <span style="font-weight: bold">Wish I had it today</span>. Gee, where have I heard that before?
 
There's one of those sitting not far from me in a guy's drive - it never moves!
 
Tony, someone has to drive it or push it before it moves :laugh:
