Vintage imports out of Washington USA sells almost everything NOS , It's a B18 544 engine four speed . It needs rear fender rubber guards, Key switch , dome light assy and Dash pad black but little more The body is perfect, interior perfect Blue. Original tires ,has all jacking parts. I think I just have to buff the paint to make it look near new Paint. It would just be a nice car to drive around here in our small town ,gets about 32miles a gallon I'm told. Put it up on my lift and the under body is like new no rust. Hagerty list it at #2 as being in the 12k to 14k range and I got it for 5k. A #1 is 18K. So I cant see me getting hurt money wise. In Sweden I'm told there is a large club for them .It will give my 55 a rest not driving all the time around town.

Congrats Roy, I've always liked old Volvos, there were a lot of them around here when I was growing up.
The later 122 is my fav, and of course the P1800.

122
Paul: My parents had the 122 as a second car. I drove it all over Brooklyn before I got my 68 vette. It was the same green color. I remember going crazy trying to sync up the carbs. Who can forget the aircraft style seatbelts? My friend had an 1800 and my dad made wrist pins for him at his machine shop. Thanks for the memories. Jerry
