I like this photo. I don't think you have posted before. Looks like 3 Volvo 445s, a VW Beetle and something with body removed from the frame and wide running boards.

Whoa
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Half a million miles and looks that good. Amazing !!
But I'm curious how she was able to consider a BMW 2002 prior to her buying the Volvo in '65. I think the first year for the 2002 was '68.
Try to learn life's bad lessons vicariously through others.

Perhaps memory fades faster than old Volvos.

Here's a '67 122 wagon from Oregon on BaT.......

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1967-volvo-122s-43/

A lot of mechanical and engine work.
Some battle scars.
Subaru seats.
17" Dodge Charger police wheels.
Ipd sway bars.
Doesn't look rusty.
Swedish Relics - a top notch shop - did some work.
Overdrive.
Healthy sounding engine.
Two SU's and manifold included.
New exhaust.
Seller answer: "Yes, 4.56 rear end said the tag. I’m guessing 130 hp with the same gas mileage as a stocker, 20 around town, 24 highway. It’s a carburetor."

^^^ Mmmmm.

I think the 122 needs 16" or 15". 16s you'd have to make.



This one is a lot of Canadian Dollars.....
