OK well yesterday the new owner picked up my 123gt Amazon from me. Thought you guys would like to see one of the finest cars Volvo ever built. I was priveleged to own this car for 25 years of which about ten I drove it every summer. Sigh...such a fun car to drive. This car had such a good vibe everyone liked it. Most don't even know what it is. I didn't know what a 123 was when I was looking for a 122s long ago. But you know I had to have it when I figured that out! Enjoy.

Man that’s nice. Is it heading to Europe?

The one in my backyard is same color but brown interior (and no where near that nice)

Yes. I even fixed the truck. lol.
It wouldn't start after being set in the rollback mode. I told him my car didn't want to leave. Then I showed him the Ford solenoid run the starter bypass trick and did it with an adjustable wrench. It was a sad day yet it is in the Volvo community and will be appreciated.

The car was at Rockleigh multiple times and it did five years of charity TSD rallys in Southern NJ. Good times I was fortunate to have.

Joe Lazenby left a business card on my seat one day while my car was parked outside of work in The Dalles, OR. Small world of Volvos.

Great car. Glad its going to another Volvo'er

I know him as I blindly drove 2 hours to look at my ex-145, show up to his garage, see 5 amazons and a 445 out front. Only then does he explain and show me what he does (and showed me his horde of parts and cars). It is indeed a small world.
 
Thank you. The car was at Carlisle several times in the 90s as well. It's a 2 hr ride from willingboro. Rockleigh meet was always in Oct. So you could start the year with Carlisle and end with Rockleigh meet.
