1967 Volvo 123GT
Permalink  

I have been looking for one of these 123GT's for many years, they made only 1500 of them. My dad bought one new just like this one, dark green with tan interior, it was the first car I rode in. His car was assembled in Halifax and had a "Canadian GT" emblem on the rear of the car. Ultimately that is the car I would like to have but I am lucky to have this one. I put a "Wanted" ad on craigslist, a nice guy in Squamish, B.C. replied and gave me this car, that is right he gave it to me. He started to take it apart and lost interest. It has the original motor and it is apparently good. Everything seems to be there except the original steering wheel. B20 115HP twin carbs, 4 speed with electric overdrive, 4:56 posi. factory tach on the dash and Recarro seats. Needs a lot of work but until I find a better one it will do.

I like the side trim, it is like a 57 Buick which is another car on my hit list - 57 Century 2 door hardtop.

Growing up in Vancouver, one of my dads friends was really into the import scene. He had 2 Lotus Cortinas, a Mini Cooper, and also one of these 123 GT's. I've always liked them. Good score!

My cousin in law (if there is such a thing) picked up a very nice, low mileage '67 Volvo wagon this past summer and packed the family and camping gear and went from Edmonton to Ontario and back. One of his most enjoyable vacations yet I'm told. (And his wife and young daughter were very good about it.)
Great to see the classic's recieving second (third, fourth etc) lives!

I know someone who put a small block and a 4sd in one about 25 years ago. I thought I was the only person to find that cool?

This is my favorite Volvo model; I don't much care for the modern ones though - they are ugly. But this car is classic.

Did anyone ever see the Letterman interview with Paul Newman years ago? If I remember correctly, Lettermen asked him what he drove to which Paul N responded..."A Volvo". Letterman laughed and said "you do not". Paul N responded with..."You didn't ask me what was under the hood?". Letterman asked, and Paul N informed him that it had a Chevy powertrain that was pumping out in excess of 400 HP. (A lot now, but really unheard of in the '80's.)
Letterman ended up getting one for a spell.
