Thanks for the link Herr, but I managed to access the link all the way across the world from here. Glad to see Phil's name mentioned in the article. I have read his "Amazon Resurection" article in VClassics over a million times, and at times when I almost gave up my dad's '74 144 restoration project, I would read his article and be back on the project again. An old Volvo gets you emotionally attached to it if you give it half the chance, right Phil?

I still get questions, that had my dad bought a Mercedes 200E (he did check it out) instead of the 144 in 1974, would I have kept and restored it just like I did the 144? Maybe I would if the Merc community had something similar to the Brickboard. But lets just say I am glad that it was the Volvo he got.
