This is a REAL 1967 Volvo 123GT. My company, "At Speed Motors" focuses upon investment-level Porsches...but sometimes I come across cars I just can't pass up! This is the real thing, a Volvo 123GT!! Please don't mistake this for the much more common 122/122S or a 123GT Clone...it is none of the above (please note the verification letter from Volvo Cars Belgium)!!! I was on a trek in Europe to purchase several Porsches and found this car stored in the back of the second floor of a Belgium dealer friend of mine. He noted it had been there for years and the layer of dust on the car verified his claim. I recognized the 123GT immediately for what it was and bought it on the spot!! These cars were exceptionally rare with only an estimated 1,500 ever built and were very special from the factory. Changes to the 123GT over the standard 122 were: car was only offered in a 2 door coupe version; the B18 engine was modified at the factory for higher compression and produced more power (115hp); the engine was also fitted with dual SU carburetors; these cars were only delivered with a factory 4 speed manual transmission with electronic overdrive; the factory boosted the front disk braking system to handle the additional speed; the suspension was altered by the factory to be stiffer and more capable of handling the additional power/speed; Recaro seats were fitted from the factory; front driving lights were fitted at the factory as well as a rear fog light; a tachometer was added at the factory to the top of the dash; a special factory steering wheel with 123GT insignia was added along with factory 123 badging and exterior trim. Everything on the car works wonderfully - the engine purrs along, the brakes are strong, suspension is firm, all lights work, the tires are perfect, the spare is untouched, the jack is in place, even the fresh air fan still works!!! The heater valve seems a little stuck as warm air comes in all the time, but I'm sure we'll have that fixed by the end of the auction. Please also take a look at the glass...all correct with original Volvo insignias!! The previous owner installed an aftermarket radio, but I have the original Volvo blockout plate if you want to remove that and put it back the way it should be!! The car was painted years ago according to my Belgium dealer friend (note the excellent color change from the original green), but that paint is still in excellent condition with strong lustre and so few chips one would think it was done last year. As with all 122 bodies, this car had a little rust under the driver/rear passenger floor boards and spare wheel well, but that was repaired when the car was painted. The rest of the underside and body are in excellent condition with no signs of accident damage or additional rust. This is an excellent car in a wonderful period color combination that will be a joy for years to come for the next owner. Given my focus upon Porsches, I wanted to enjoy the car a bit and then move it on to a Volvo person to enjoy. There is no good reason other than that to sell it. Don't miss this car...you would be hard pressed to find a nicer example that has not been restored. Please contact me with any questions at 703-627-9991. Take a look at my 100% rating and bid with full confidence. I stand behind absolutely everything I sell. My thanks, Bob.

So sorry, I took a picture of it, but it was #25 and eBay only allows 24 pictures. When the car was repainted, they painted over the stamping, but you can still see it underneath. I really don't want to take the paint off at this point since it is so evident. Thus, I'm going to remove a picture and post that for everyone to see. Yes, THIS IS A REAL 123GT!!! The number seen is 133351 M244696. Please call me with any questions at 703-627-9991. Bob On May-21-14 at 12:29:38 PDT, seller added the following information: On May-22-14 at 09:19:40 PDT, seller added the following information: Hi again. The Head of the Volvo 123GT Registry just added the car to his registry. He also inquired as to the engine number of the car. That number is: 4968 60 2221 as stamped on the block. Look, I know the car isn't perfect and doesn't have every single 123GT item as it left the factory, folks... BUT, IT IS HERE IN THE U.S. AND IT IS 100% AUTHENTIC!! Bob |

Volvo V70 and XC70 and Ocean Race special editions wash ashore ahead of Geneva
Sat, 22 Feb 2014Volvo will unveil the third in its series of new concepts to the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, but it will also bring a flotilla of special editions to the Swiss show. The V70 and XC70 are getting limited-edition models called simply Edition, and the V40, V40 Cross Country, V60 and XC60 will have Volvo Ocean Race Editions.
The Edition models outfit the cars with an extra sprinkling of style. The V70 Edition gets high-gloss black trim on the grille, mirror caps, side window frames and tailgate and rides on silver, 17-inch wheels with high-gloss black 17-inch and 18-inch wheels as options. The XC70 Edition adds some gloss black exterior upgrades too, plus high-gloss black, 18-inch diamond-cut wheels. Both models are swathed in black leather upholstery with cream stitching.
The Volvo Ocean Race Editions celebrate the brand's sponsorship of a 38,739-nautical-mile yacht race that will circumnavigate the world from 2014 to 2015. All of them sport the race logo on the tread plates, front fenders, infotainment display on start-up and special seven-spoke wheels. Inside, there is the choice of black or blonde leather seats with orange stitching. The 60-series cars also sport a map of the race route on the rear load cover.
Editors’ Picks February 2023 | Audi RS 3, electric G80 and a longtime favorite
Wed, Mar 1 2023In this month’s set of EditorsÂ’ Picks, we see a wide variety of vehicles earn our recommended status. The Audi RS 3 is a truly stellar sedan with a killer engine, great handling and still enough comfort for daily use. Genesis finds its way onto the list again with its electric version of the G80 midsize sedan, and VolvoÂ’s XC90 still charms after all these years. In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in January that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2023 Audi RS 3 Quick take: The Audi RS 3 keeps the passion alive with a superb sounding 5-cylinder engine and a torque-vectoring rear differential that massively ups the handling fun. Its interior is a little bland, but it's still a handsome Audi on the outside. Score: 8.0 What it competes with: Mercedes-AMG CLA 45, BMW M240i, Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing, VW Golf R Pros: Epic engine sound, fun AWD system, great handling and acceleration, attractive exterior styling Cons: Interior doesn't pop, expensive for its size From the editors: Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — "If you love a special engine, the Audi RS 3 is a car for you. Few powertrains sound and feel as special as the 5-cylinder engine in the RS 3, and the ferocity with which it accelerates will have you laughing your head off with every pull. The sheer performance out of this little machine is extraordinary, and I'd recommend it to anybody shopping for a small, luxury sports car daily. All that said, I wish Audi could've sorted out better steering and a suitable interior. As-is, both of those factors are negatives in a car that is almost all upside." In-depth analysis: 2023 Audi RS 3 First Drive Review: To hell with business cases  2023 Volvo XC90 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge View 15 Photos Quick take: The XC90 may be old now, but key updates and a timeless design ensure it's competitive as ever. The Scandinavian interior design appeal has never faded, and now the Google-based infotainment system is fresh and snappy. Even the Recharge PHEV is an awesome alternative with great range and strong electric motor.
