This car comes as a tip from Zach who writes: The RazzleDazzle paint theme is surprisingly not too bad. Will certainly go for more than the 5k start, but would be a fun DT. Yes, the razzle dazzle is something special, but I’d daily drive that! Find this 1967 Volvo Amazon 123GT bidding for $5900 […]
This next car comes as a tip from Zach who writes: Needs a bit of love, but a number of pieces there. At current bid ($7.50) a fair price. Indeed…it is a complete basket case and will require a total restoration, but 123GT Amazons are rare and prices are appreciating…if you can find one. Even prices for the basic 122 Amazon are up, but scoring a 1 of 1500 ever built factory hot-rod 123GT for less than a Big Mac meal deal is a score. Find this 1968 Volvo 123GT bidding for $7.50 reserve-not-met with 4 days to go, located in Pensacola, FL via eBay.
When the talking heads on the internet starting carrying on about Amazon Prime day, I had to think about it. Because the regular 122S version of the Amazon isn’t prime…but then I remembered the 123GT version…which is ALMOST prime, but it is divisible by 3 & 41, which are both prime numbers and in nerd […]
The Seldom Scene is a bluegrass band – a mighty good one if you are into banjo pickin, fiddling and mandolining. Interestingly enough, the band was true to its name and mostly recorded albums and infrequently played in public because all band members had day jobs, a cartographer, mathematician, physician and graphic artist among their […]
Here is another hot tip from the staff at DT: The sketchier a car looks on a craigslist advert –the better the potential deal. This next car is missing its keys and title, but it has a long roof, very clean engine bay, and a set of Cali black plates for a bargain price. Find […]
The Volvo Amazon was built from 1956 through 1970 and sold as the 121/122S/123GT outside of Sweden. It was the hard working and industrious older brother of the P1800/1800S/1800ES sports car, to which it donated its engine, transmission, and suspension options. Available as a coupe, sedan or wagon the Amazon makes a cool vintage driver […]
It never fails to happen. Post a nice looking car for a decent price and suddenly a better one will pop up in the tips. We could post a running/driving $1k short wheelbase 911 and someone would find a $500 example with nicer pictures. The wagon from yesterday was offered for a very reasonable price, […]
The Volvo Amazon (badged the 121/122S/123GT outside of Sweden) was the more practical, more upright older sibling of the P1800/1800S/1800ES sports car, to which it donated its engine, transmission, and suspension options. The Amazon isn’t traded by tweed jacket wearing collectors at pebble beach, instead it can be seen at your local car show or […]
The Volvo 121/122S/123GT was first introduced in 1956 as the Volvo Amason, named after the female Greek warriors in legends. However, a small German motorcycle company owned the rights to the name and negotiated with Volvo to change the name to Amazon and only use it in Sweden — the rest of the world it […]
Time for Volvo Thorsday, Round 2! Last week’s debut was such a success, we wouldn’t dare turn down another sweet vintage Norse wagon. The 1800ES from last week is a stylish little 2+2, but today’s example is a traditional 4-door family truckster. Given the curvy lines inspired by 50’s American car design, this squareback manages to […]
