1967 Volvo 123GT
Просмотров 2402 месяца назад
Checking out our super rare, fully restored 1967 Volvo 123GT. Although it looks like a "regular" 122S, the 123GT is a homologation special, made with competition components to win races. Reportedly less than 5,000 of these cars were made, and many of them have succumbed to the dreaded rust worm. This one must be one of the finest surviving examples of the species. Enjoy!

Checking out this rare 1965 Pontiac Le Mans Sport Coupe. The car was owned from 1966 until recently by a lady from San Dimas, California. It still has its original AM radio, air conditioning compressor, hubcaps and other stock equipment and escaped any attempts to turn it into a GTO replica. Have a look into the past what it's like to drive an almost 6 decades old muscle car . . .

Checking out and driving this 2-owner California Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d' Elegance, one of the last American dinosaurs of the road, dating back to a time where bigger was better and driving was a rather relaxed affair.

    In the early 80's I had a 1978 128 4 door. My father painted it red on the top and beige on the lower half. It looked great. New York City roads took a toll on the suspension and I lost my front control arm during a turn right in the middle of an intersection. The car was so light I got a couple of neighborhood guys to just pick it up and park it. I wish i never got rid of it. So much fun.

    That is a great looking original car, I would love to have it. I had a 1973 128 2 door in 1977 when I was 16. My brother purchased it new and drove it to college. I still have the window sticker. Great little car, handled great. Not a rocket ship which may have been a good thing for a 16 year old. Sold it a year later for a 72 Nova with a V8

    @scrambler69-xk3kv Месяц назад

    Good thing it is in California, because they were rusting on the way over, I think. You hardly ever saw a Fiat with a good body where I live. Seemed that nothing could save them.

  • @scrambler69-xk3kv
    @scrambler69-xk3kv Месяц назад

    When these were being sold in the US, I loved the look of them This one the 124, the little rear engine one the 650 coupe and spyder, the Strada. I bought a 124 in 1974, but it was not a good car at all. By the time it had 28,000 miles on it I had replaced the high/low beam switch. It had a two- piece driveshaft with a center carrier bearing that needed to be replaced and at that 28,000 mile mark, it blew a head gasket. so, I sold it. What was once the local Fiat dealer is now a hearing center.

    5:44 That suspension works amazingly! I still drive the copy of this car - Zastava Skala 55, which is the last production year, 2008 and i assure you the suspension is great, but not this great. Those Zastava "copies" had Fiat engine in the beginning, when it was called Zastava 101 and those Fiat engines are know to be the best by far, it could push the car over 160 kmh (100 mph) and later models with Zastava 55 engines could only do 135 kmh (84 mph). Fiat engine was also had higher quality and lower fuel consumption. What i didnt expect is that exhaust sound that is known with Zastava model, i dinnt know its also with the original Fiat (that buzzing sound above 2500 rpm like there is a crack in the exhaust).

    I would love to buy a gorgeous old car, that had completely modernized engine, transmission, steering, suspension, and safety. I'd love to own a replica, esthetically, but a nice reliable Lexus underneath because that thing, is a POS. A Very pretty POS, but there ain't nothing worth keeping under that hood. That being said, Richard Carpenter is a god damn musical genius. While I think his love of cars is misguided, the man is on musical Mt Rushmore alongside Brain Wilson, Marvin Gaye, the Beatles, Hendrix and Jimmy Page.
