1967 Volvo 123gt, This Is The Real Thing, Wonderful Condition!!! on 2040-cars
Hanover, Maryland, United States
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.

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 |

Lincoln Aviator vs Cadillac XT6 | How they compare on paper
Thu, Sep 5 2019There have been big, three-row family crossovers for quite a while now, but until recently the luxury market hasn't fully embraced them. Sure, you could literally get one with a third row, but unless you were a kid, chances are the term "dungeon-like" was going to be tossed around. Things are changing now, however, as new and redesigned entries are starting to hit the market. We've recently had a chance to get our first drives of the 2020 Lincoln Aviator and 2020 Cadillac XT6, two all-new three-row crossovers from American luxury brands. We also got a turn behind the wheel of the updated 2020 Volvo XC90. However, since none of our editors have yet to drive to drive them all, we wanted to see how they compare on paper, examining their engine specs and interior dimensions. We also included the 2020 Acura MDX, the original three-row luxury crossover, which continues to sell well despite approaching the end of its current generation. That it offers a hybrid model makes it that much more applicable given the Aviator and XC90 also offer gasoline-electric powertrains, albeit of the plug-in variety. 3 Row Luxury Crossovers Powertrains View 1 Photos Non-hybrid MDX has a 5,000-pound max tow rating. How do their performance and fuel economy compare? This one is absolutely no contest. The 400-horsepower Lincoln blows away its competitors despite having a price tag that's similar to the 310-horsepower Cadillac and in between the XC90's T5 and T6 models. At least the Acura is considerably cheaper. Besides the eye-popping output, the estimated 0-60-mph time of 5.5 seconds (gleaned from the mechanically similar Ford Explorer ST) is appreciably quicker than the others. Now, fuel economy is a bit lower, but the efficiency of Volvo's four-cylinder engines are likely more susceptible to varying due to driver differences. It should also be noted that the Cadillac gets the same combined fuel economy estimate as the Aviator despite having 90 fewer horses and 144 fewer pound-feet of torque. Just one of the ways where the XT6's prospects dim in the presence of its cross-Michigan rival. The Cadillac is also not available as a hybrid model. The others are, but are disparate. The Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring and Volvo XC90 T8 are similar in concept: range-topping models that are as much about adding performance as they are fuel economy. Their hefty price tags certainly reflect that as well.
Chip maker Nvidia adds Volvo to list of self-driving partners
Tue, Jun 27 2017Chipmaker Nvidia Corp announced on Monday it was partnering with Volvo Cars and Swedish auto supplier Autoliv to develop self-driving car technology for vehicles due to hit the market by 2021. Volvo is owned by China's Geely Automobile Holdings. Silicon Valley-based Nvidia also announced a non-exclusive partnership with German automotive suppliers ZF and Hella for artificial intelligence technology for autonomous driving. Nvidia came to prominence in the gaming industry for designing graphics processing chips, but in recent years has been a key player in the automotive sector for providing the so-called "brain" of the autonomous vehicle. The company, whose many partners already include Tesla, Toyota, Ford, Audi, BMW, and tier one supplier Robert Bosch, announced its latest deals at an automotive electronics show in Ludwigsburg, Germany. Nvidia's Drive PX artificial intelligence platform is used by Tesla in its Models S and X and upcoming Model 3 electric vehicles. Volkswagen AG's Audi is also using the system to reach full autonomous driving by 2020. In a call with reporters, Nvidia's senior automotive director Danny Shapiro said carmakers and their main suppliers are now moving away from the research and development phase of autonomous vehicles and into concrete production plans. The system developed jointly by ZF and Hella, and using Nvidia's Drive PX platform, will combine front cameras with radar and software to create technology meeting the Euro NCAP safety certification for so-called "Level 3" driving, in which some, but not all, driving is performed by the car. Volvo is already using the Drive PX for the self-driving cars in its "Drive Me" autonomous pilot program. Volvo's production vehicles built on Nvidia's platform, as announced on Monday, are planned for sale by 2021.Reporting By Alexandria SageRelated Video: Auto News Green Tesla Toyota Volvo Technology Emerging Technologies Autonomous Vehicles nvidia autoliv
