The 140 might be the best overall car Volvo ever made. They made a lot of 140s in comparison to the other early models.

When a 140 lover managed to kill the car, it was easier to just replace it with another used 140. Easier to replace then repair since there were so many of them out there. The process gets repeated until there are only a few remaining. I think that's a difference between a typical PV/122/1800 owner. Since they made fewer of the other models it's more difficult to replace them in this fashion.

It also seems that more folks figured that the other vintage Volvo models would be worth holding on to earlier on as well.

In about 10-15 years we'll probably be having the exact same conversation about the 240. I've noticed that 70s 240s are getting harder to find, when there use to be a lot of them to choose from in my area.
