Future Value of Vintage Volvos 120-130

I think you're on the right track. I bought my '67 123GT 10 years ago (83,000 miles), and spent $5,000 (including purchase price) to put it on the road. I've averaged $700 per year on maintenance, and it never let me down (even in the Canadian winter), while being a head turner, and a blast to drive. For that money,I couldn't have had a Neon.

After 10 years I'm about to spend another $5K or so on some TLC,and expect another 10 years of fun driving. So the real value of these cars is their reliability, ease of maintenance, and classic styling. I'm never selling, so I don't care what happens to the resale value!
