I wanted to wait until I had more pictures, but I couldn't. Here is the one picture I have of the 1967 Volvo P220 that I bought on Friday, 8/29/2014. I am beyond excited, I've wanted a Volvo since I was about ten years old, and the P220 just about takes my Swedish cake.
The car cost me $500, and is a tune-up and battery away from running. Though the patina is extensive, the car doesn't have any rust holes. It is solid, complete (though the interior does need partial reassmbly), and 80% ready to rock.
Here are the basics:
B18 1.8L pushrod 4-cylinder (100hp)
Dual one-bbl SU side-draft carbs
-M21 4-speed with overdrive (5-speed)
-Live rear axle with coil springs
-Dual a-arm independent front end
And the plans:
-Get it home
-Get it stored
-Get rid of the wasps in the front right door
-Get it running
-Slam it by converting all four corners to coilovers
-New 2.25" exhaust with long-tube header
-Wheels (16x8 front, 16x10 rear American Racing Turq-Thrust D with polished lips and grey centers)
-MMMMAAAAYYYYYYBE white walls?
-Surfboards
-Steel Coca-Cola cooler in the trunk
-Isky cam
-Some basic interior work, maybe some houndstooth
I cannot wait to rip into this little puppy, I've already made a fun little order to motivate myself!
