We had such a great success with a Volvo 122S named Helga, that we decided we would post the next good example we could find…it was that or some kind of hideous bat-mobile based on a Fiat spider. It (the Volvo, not the BiatMobile) came sooner than we expected in the form of a tip […]
I bet you thought we’d forgotten about Thorsday… well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a 1979 Volvo Bertone V8 Swap, the most powerful Volvo in the world, and would blow your head clean off for $4700, you’ve got to ask […]
We mentioned a few days back that the 67 Volvo 122 Amazon coupe was purchased by Daily Turismo reader Clark, but today we received a short novel from Clark about his return trip home with his new friend. The following are his words and photos about his return trip home with “Helga” : Helga leaving […]
Thorsday posts typically contain some original-condition slow-mobiles-to-nowhere that look great, have lots of peppy Norse attitude and are found at rock bottom prices. Today we are going to treat that tradition like a politician treats written law and hope the ethics committee doesn’t come after us. This 1978 Volvo 262C “Bertone” protouring-custom-race-pro-chop-top-ultimate-street-car-rare recently failed to meet its […]
The boffins in the Daily Turismo Research Department tell us that today’s featured Thorsday “California Special” car was, in fact, somewhat special, and was indeed only available in California when sold new. Where else would buyers want an interior that looks like an acid trip woven from petrified orange dreamsicles made by a disgruntled Navajo […]
We are happy to report that the 1800ES wagon we featured on Volvo Thorsday #1 has arrived at the home of DT reader and new owner, doctordel. He is already enjoying the car and has his eye on a few options for more power. We wish him the best with his new pride & joy! […]
Considering that the last Amazon (aka 122) that we featured was a clean original coupe and sold for $8650, a nice wagon could conceivably be worth a similar amount. Today’s 3rd Thorsday car is a partially original, partially restored family truckster in a fetching shade of blue with nice contrasting red painted “V” hubcaps, a […]
Two days before Thorsday we posted an ad for a nice looking ’67 Amazon coupe — and DT reader/commenter Clark picked it up for what we think was a great price. His words: “I also thought it would go a bit higher. That it SHOULD go a bit higher. With a minute or so left […]
This car has to be one of the most well-traveled Volvos in recent memory – on the internet anyways, regardless of its miles in the real world. It has been featured on Bring a Trailer and the Hemmings blog, having last been sold about 3 years ago. The list of upgrades is long, the price is reasonable, […]
It has been 5 days since we’ve posted a Volvo – please don’t let us go that long again – we are having withdrawals. Even though we are Volvoholics, today’s little red coupe is also the perfect prescription if you are suffering from a case of Alfa GTV fever, but don’t have the cash to […]
