Grandma’s Coupe: 1967 Volvo 122S
Unlike the models that followed it, Volvo’s Amazon was a mid-sized car that emulated styling from American vehicles manufactured during the era. The 120 Series was the 2-door iteration of the Amazon, and this 1967 Volvo 122S that’s available… more»
Honest Wagon: 1968 Volvo 122s Estate
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again – I’m drawn to long roof cars. Throw in some features like a manual transmission and descriptors like “lovingly well-used,” “honest car,” and “great driver” and you have my full… more»
Classic Daily Driver? 1970 Volvo 1800E
If there is such a thing as “sensibly” entering the collector car market, doing so with a Volvo 1800 may be the way to do it. This 1970 1800E example was sent in by a Barn Finds reader who… more»

UPDATE 6/22/2020 – The seller has lowered their asking price to $5,500 or best offer! So take another look at this driver and be sure to make the seller an offer. FROM 6/12/2020 – We’ve long been fans of… more»
Cheap Time Machine? 1981 DeLorean
Yes – Lucas, Prince of Darkness is associated with almost every British vehicle. We all know that Pintos blow up when a pine cone falls on them. Sedans have two doors too many. And, who doesn’t wonder about the… more»
Parked in ’92: 1970 Volvo 1800E Coupe
Volvo may have a reputation for building boxy vehicles, but the 1800 is an exception – Swedish designer Pelle Petterson designed the car while he was a student of Italian coachbuilder and designer Pietro Frua, which contributes to its… more»
No Reserve Coupe: 1974 Volvo 142
Though Volvo’s Amazon and 240 models receive praise from enthusiasts, the 140 Series that the company manufactured between the two models doesn’t garner as much attention. In my opinion, the 140 blends the round design features of the Amazon… more»
One Owner Manual: 1990 Volvo 240 DL
The Volvo 240 wagon is perhaps one of the most recognized long roofs ever made. It found favor with numerous consumer groups, from college students to the professors that taught them. To this day, it remains a benchmark of… more»
Orange Brick: 1976 Volvo 240 Wagon
This 1976 Volvo 240 wagon wears great colors and clean bodywork, despite the seller’s claims that it was neglected for years before taking it under their wing and bringing it back to life. Based on the description, it sounds… more»
Hollywood Prop Car: 1968 Saab 95 V4
It’s hard to believe that this 1968 Saab 95 can carry seven passengers. A Chevy Suburban can also carry seven passengers but it’s 4.5-feet longer and I’m guessing that those passengers would be much more comfortable in the Suburban…. more»
Turbo Brick: 1980 Volvo 240
While Volvo wagons have long been considered essential transportation for families looking for the safest means of conveyance possible, some enthusiasts see them as the ultimate utility vehicle for their space and dirt-simple mechanical bits. This 1980 240 wagon… more»
No Reserve Survivor: 1992 Saab 900
This 1992 Saab 900 hatchback is a well-preserved example that has survived incredibly well despite not having lived in a museum all of its life. While the 88,000 miles on the clock is certainly low for the year, it’s… more»
Hot Hatch: 1990 Saab 900 SPG
When it comes to rare Saabs, genuine Saab 900 SPGs are one of the best choices for putting a limited-production hot hatch in your garage. Equipped from the factory with a number of performance-minded upgrades, they were produced in… more»
As New: 1979 Saab 900 Turbo
I have always felt that the fact that Saab managed to join so many great manufacturers that collapsed into bankruptcy was a crying shame. This is because they were a company that was capable of not only producing some… more»
