My first car love was old Volvos. I had a 1970 145, a 1966 122s, a 1960 544, and even got to work on and drive p1800 #62! SO when a friend called and asked if I wanted to rescue her 1965 122s I jumped at the chance. I worked on this car between 1991 and 1996 and new what kind of condition it was in. I also knew I wanted it, bad! Let's check it out together.

I realized after I made this I never checked if the engine was free turning! I went back today and it is, whew!

Lol, it's a Volvo. Odds are in your favor.

@scottrasmussen985 4 года назад

Looks like that's a great shape.!

@Misunderstoodboygenius 4 года назад

I hope so. I just realized watching it I didn't even try to turn over the engine by hand. It could be seized!

Looking forward to seeing progress on this one. Just got my ‘69 Amazon on the road.

@Misunderstoodboygenius 4 года назад

Thanks! I need to get it home! We just had a major early snow storm, so I may wait another week. I am confident it will run in very quick order. Then the fun starts with the reconditioning and preserving.

@@Misunderstoodboygenius yep, fresh fuel and new plugs, it will go.

Should be easy, just a little buffing out. Famous last words. Along with "Hey Watch This". Best of luck!

Hey. The Beetle only took 2 years!

@Misunderstoodboygenius 4 года назад

Me too! Of course I’ll do the obligatory “Will it run?!” Video.

Wrong screws for the fuel sender = hence why the trunk mat is ruined :(
