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 Trucks makes some pretty strong brakes
Mon, 05 May 2014Often dashcam footage from Russia shows some of the worst driving imaginable, but this is an exception. The Volvo truck driver in this video definitely earned himself a drink or two at the end of the day after making it through this potentially horrific crash. As do the folks at Volvo that engineered those brakes.
The truck driver shows some fantastic reaction time as the silver hatchback suddenly pulls out of an intersection. It looks like he only has a few yards to bring the behemoth to a stop before demolishing the little car. While it's an impressive feat, the best part of the video has to be the driver's bow when he gets out of the truck. He looks like a maestro who just finished conducting a symphony asking for a round of applause.
Scroll down to check out this truck driver's skills and see if he earns his bow afterward.
Volvo already planning road-going V8 Supercar?
Sat, 15 Mar 2014After decades of cat-and-mouse battle waged between Holden and Ford, Australia's V8 Supercars series has expanded considerably. Mercedes and Nissan both joined the grid last season, and Volvo has followed suit this year. So when 2014 championship kicked off earlier this month in Adelaide, everyone was watching to see who would come out on top.
The answer is Holden, which took first place in all three of the weekend's races. In fact the General Motors division locked out the podium in the first and third races and took first and third places in the second race, letting just one other manufacturer onto the podium the entire weekend - and that was Volvo. The Polestar S60 scored second place on its first race weekend, beating all the Nissan Altimas, the Mercedes E63 AMGs, the Ford Falcons and most of the Holden Commodores.
Now that's hardly winning the championship, but it's a very solid debut. And that point was not lost on the people back at headquarters in Sweden, who are already thinking about making a roadgoing version of the race-spec V8 Supercar.
Volvo and Starbucks to put charging stations at coffee shops
Tue, Mar 15 2022Volvo and Starbucks are joining forces to give electric vehicle owners a more pleasant charging experience. The two companies have announced a plan to install EV charging stations at Starbucks coffee shops across several U.S. states as part of a pilot program to study the project's scalability. About 60 chargers will be installed at 15 Starbucks locations along a 1,350-mile route between Denver and Seattle, which is home to the coffee giant. Volvo told Autoblog that the chargers will be a mix of ChargePoint DC chargers comprised of Express 250 units, capable of delivering 62.5 kW, and Express Plus units, capable of delivering up to 350 kW. All chargers will have both CHAdeMO and CCS plugs. Placed about 100 miles apart, the charger-equipped Starbucks fall within the range of most EVs, and their relative proximity should limit the amount of advanced planning one would have to do during an EV road trip. The companies plan to offer them to any drivers of electric cars. Charging fees will apply, but Volvo vehicles will get to use them either free of charge or at a discount. The locations of these chargers will show up in ChargePoint's smartphone app, or with an in-dash app on Google-equipped Volvo models. Jokes about latte-sipping Volvo drivers aside, the program opens a world of new opportunities for charging. A Volvo C40 Recharge takes about 40 minutes to replenish its batteries from 20% to 90%. Other electric cars are comparable. A coffee shop is a much more pleasant place to wait that out than a Kroger or Walmart, and as we discovered last week, EV chargers and businesses like Starbucks are banned from interstate rest areas by federal law. Add the availability of wifi and clean-ish bathrooms at most Starbucks locations, and it makes for an ideal pit stop opportunity. Besides, on a long road trip, drivers must replenish their caffeine just as cars must replenish their fuel tanks or batteries. The solution — chargers at coffee shops — is so glaringly obvious, it's a wonder why it's taken so long for a partnership like this to happen.
