    When I was in high school, 1975, I bought a 122S from my Latin teacher. Lots of great memories and lots of fun. I was no mechanic, unfortunately and it had incredible amounts of rust. Fun to drive and good in the snow back then when 4WD was hard to come buy. I remember having to constantly make keys for it. The keys were odd and thin and would tear when turning the ignition in cold weather. Had the engine rebuilt by a man from Finland, named Helge in Bridgeport, Connecticut. He rebuilt it in my back yard as I watched him. It was during the winter and it was cold. We drank schnapps. But, he did a great job. But, for a teenager, parts were so expensive. I was starting higher education with no job and I had to sell it. Always loved the shifting on it and was thinking about getting one to relive the past. Later, bought a 1984 760 Turbo Diesel. A true tank. Again, to keep it maintained and the cost of parts was just not worth keeping it. Nowadays, cars are not such classics but they are much more efficient, parts are cheap and they always start up in the snow, ice and frigid temperatures. It is fun to go back in time but not really practical.

    Just came a cross your videos and loved the car. I take it that you found a buyer. Beings it's been 3yrs. You did a great job on it was one of the best ones I've seen so far. Love all the enhancements you did I also looked at all your details of what went on during the build on your car.

    I had a 1969 122s in 1978. Even though it was only 11 years old at the time it looked like an antique styling reminiscent of the 50s. Lovely car to drive, very sporty with a 4 speed manual gearbox. I courageously went to a wrecking yard and got a similarly contoured skylight and put it in the 122s. Lots of work but looked great!

    Arthur sure is a beauty. Some day my Arthur will be as nice, although maybe a bit more stock,since he is an oddball. Love the 67 122S. Friends on my mom's had two of them. The bought the first, then drove to Montreal, Quebec for Expo 67. While there, the car was T-boned. The police said that had they been on anything but, they would have been killed. They went to the local Volvo dealer, bought a second 67 and drove home in it. That car lasted 300,000 miles before rust made it unsafe. They figured when the driver's seat hit the ground under the car it was maybe time to give it up. Plus, by then they had a 72 142S in the driveway, which had replaced their rotted out, 350,000 mile P544.

    Man do you bring back memories. I rebuilt a 1968 with a B18 and know what you went through to get it to everything working, as mine was. Later I did a 1973 164 GLE and that was a very fine road rocket.

    A friend of mine managed to stuff a Ford 289 into one and the chassis needed no reinforcement. Disc brakes in the front and new springs and shocks, no other mods. The original engine was 1800cc, 80hp, but a later model 2.300cc with a high performance cam goes straight in and it has potential for 150hp without supercharging.

I'm doing a V8 conversion with mine. Going to bag the suspension. Doing it a little more custom but all the same I like the color you chose. How come you didn't turbo yours?

    • @DavidBello
      @DavidBello  6 років тому +2

      svcogs svcogs eBay took down the listing because I linked to the blog on IPD’s website and IPD sells things so that was “inappropriate” and removed. Having some trouble with the rules of the internet and this car. The turbo decision was budget. Going EFI would be mega squirt and We don’t have a short waiting list for those who do it right.

    It was realy nice to see your Amazon-67 But since there are so few left, even in Sweden, so it hurts my heart when I see this "destruction" of a rarity like this. It's soo hard to find original spare parts these days. And IF you find them, they will cost you a minor fortune ! I my self had one back in 1981. It was a 1970, in realy good condition, original turquoise colour, and lots of fine crome. I deeply regret that I sold it 14 years later in 1995. Btw: good luck with the selling !
