  • Should we buy this sad little classic Volvo 122s that has been rotting in the woods for 3 and a half DECADES?
    My poor bank account. My poor neighbors.

      Welcome back Mr. Greek! Thank Ms Monique for the thumbnail. She snapped it while I was deeply considering this poor soul. Can you believe 35 years? Guy just parked it. Ran when parked though!

      “Watch this mudflap” hahaha. Great video. A-pillar rust scares me, but I guess it depends on if you are patching and repairing vs restoration. The rest looked good, and the floor are easy enough assuming they sell new sheet metal.

    An Amazon always gets a vote by me! If you're up for the challenge, I say you should save it! They're extremely rare and deserve a second life!
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be functional!

    Thanks for bringing us along on this one Dean, lovely episode, I want to be that old boy when I grow up, but I would keep the Amazon inside and that other thing in the field 😃

      HAHHAHA We are rolling over here. I love the 50s-60s hot rod style only for the looks and the appreciation for where the custom car culture came from. I would hate to drive one though lol

    Might be a good candidate for a body swap. Find a chassis to drop the body onto. Or fix it up the way it is but put new pans in it. Good looking car though!

    Great video Dean! Floors definitely toast but looking forward to seeing it being restored if you decide on it (I think we all know you have made the decision already 😂) Laughed out loud when you did the Waterworld reference. Loved seeing the guy’s grin when that flathead fired up.
