Ooops, the last one is also friend. It's of course his super rare 1995 T5-R, in 617 Yellow. It's one of 364 imported to the US.

He manual swapped it years ago, and it's on its 4th or 5th engine. It's not a show car, it's kind of at the other end of the scale: a driver (but with a capable owner). He does all work himself at his house.

That Volvo Amazon wagon looks like the 1966 version I started restoring in Scotland before moving to Canada 20+years ago. It had rust everywhere one I had stripped it down. Door bottoms, rockers, tailgate (in particular the unavailable upper even back then), the floors, the front cross member the front chassis rails, the out-riggers, the floor pan, the rear fender arches, the spare wheel wells, the rear lower panels behind the rear fenders, which took a pro a long time to fix as well as the inner front fender tops and box sections. It then moved with me twice as a shell before I had to sell it to move to Canada. I sold it to a friend who planned to drag race it!

Always wanted another one, but now they are either totally rotten or out of my price range. Similarly a 1965 PV544 Sport.
