Info on Volvo 123 GT
PaulK...@my-dejanews.com
not a mechanic or an expert on Volvo Amazon's, I was wondering if anyone
could help me to avoid me buying into a "fake" 123GT. Would anyone know what
to look for to make sure the 123 GT is genuine, other than the distinguishing
characterics of a 123GT badge on the boot, a rev counter on the dash and two
spotlights on the front bumper. I'd say anybody can add these to their car...
What would be some of the other things to watch out for to avoid buying a
"basket case". Asking price is 3,500 (Irish)pounds.
Thanks in advance

Heres a bit from a search using alta vista
(http://www.altavista.digital.com)
Identifies the special version of the 2 door chassis (130) with B18B
engine, M41 transmission, fully reclining seats, front fog and driving
light,
alternator, fender mounted mirrors, special steering wheel, special
dash with shelf and other distinct equipment. Around 5000 were
produced in
1967 and 1968 only.
You'll probably find more specific stuff with a longer search.
