Hi gagamel,
The old Volvo you're thinking of is Brett Sutherland's 1962(?) 122. I believe it's the 3rd highest mileage Volvo in the world and lives right here in Nova Scotia :) Actually, I think I saw it last night. My dream is to have several nice Volvos. One would be my 745T in *new* condition (paint will probably come later this summer), a MINT '95 945T, another would be importing a '98 945T from Europe, a V90 with an S80 T-6 engine, a '04 V70R 6-speed, among others (maybe a nice ~'78 242 GT). For now my dream is to get my 745T driving and looking like new. It's in great shape, but not good enough for me :) Oh, I also wouldn't mind seeing my 745 NA with something like 800K km (500K mi) on the odo :) Hehe. My Vo mechanic reciently bought a '78 242 GT in NC and drove it home. He's gonna do a complete restoration and make some upgrades. He already has a '93 B230F "L block" for it that he's going to referbish and turbocharge as well as a nice set of 17" rims and tires for it. It's goona be sweet, he's wanted one for years. I hope I still have my 745T (in good shape) in 20 years, that would be awesome :)
