P1800 Life - California Rallys 2002-Present

Classic Volvos are alive and well in Northern California. My brother runs his "Team Pegamoose" pre-75 Volvos (123GT, P1800, 142) in many of the fun Northern California vintage rallies. Here's the tribute video he made of running his 1970 P1800 in these rallies over the past 18 years: https...
