Classic Driver: 1967 Volvo 122S Amazon
I may have been spending too much time with CFlo, because I am starting to appreciate (and like) classic Volvos like the 122/122S/Amazon. The simple truth is that these funky little Swedish sedans are cheap to buy, drive, and maintain. What else can you ask for in a classic? Find this 1967 Volvo 122S Amazon offered for $4,000 in Escondido, CA via craigslist.
You won’t be overwhelmed with V8 torque or an open air experience, but the Amazon combines a 118 horsepower inline-4 with a decently well built chassis that feels like a fast car from the 50s, even though it was built in the late 60s. Does that sound like your idea of fun?

Here is another one (4 door) with more of a street fighter style to it. Same price.
These are really great looking car. Engine swap would be a must for me.
122
As in the B20 swap, or did you mean something farther from the tree? I would be up for a period and marque correct swap, but nothing else. If I choose to drive a Volvo 122, I want to drive a Volvo 122. Just my opinion.
Just saw this on speedhunters,
I would be much more into this type of build than stock
