Did anyone catch the recent episode (originally shown 1/5/16) of "Chasing Classic Cars" ("Velocity" channel) in which a 1965 544 Sport (same as my first Volvo) was examined--an UNSOLD ORIGINAL(!) with 4 miles on the clock. No deal was made but they hinted it would be followed up. If you look for the episode the title had to do with the other story in the episode--old time hot rods racing on the beach -- Dave

    I did catch Wayne Carlino drooling over that perfect 544.Plastic still on door panels and seats. Never heard a B18 purr as smoothly as this one.

    There was an article in Hemming's Classics, I believe,emailed my way a month or so ago. This Volvo and a few other models are owned by a retired Volvo dealer up east, and they were left over, so he he moved them home and kept the cars!! The article mentioned a 122 wagon ,same, new, present owner has 2500 miles on it now!!! Gents,if Wayne C. couldn't close the deal, that 544 is worth big $$.
    On Verizon FIOUS, you can find this episode on the "on Demand" section.

    Mr. Carlino, on an older episode, drove and purchased a very special '96 960 Volvo wagon, built for Paul Newman. This is the ultimate sleeper w/ a Kenne-Bell supercharged, built small block Ford w/ 5- speed, including suspension mods(Google this). Newman talked David Letterman into building one not as radical. He still has his, was on Cars and coffee w/ Jerry Seinfeld, an 1800 also an episode, at crackle.com.

    I guess the surprises are still out there!!!
    Regards, Ken in chilly FLA
