There's a company (IPD) that specializes in Volvos. Friend of mine is
part owner of a Volvo shop and drives a warmed over 142. Handles great.
'71 Volvo 142s are also one of -the- cars to beat in class ITB of SCCA
roadracing. Look and sound better than the BMW 320i on the banking at
Charlotte too. :-)
I have a copy of a video Nissan had made in 1971 when they won the SCCA's
Under 2.5 Trans-Am series with the 510. One of the neat parts is seeing
the other 'old' cars on the track. I think I remember seeing at least one
Volvo, definitely an old Saab, and an early (British) Escort. :-)

What is so funny?
