I saw that this auction ended with the car "not sold" at $7,600 with the reserve not met. I was wondering if anyone has heard if the owner decided to sell in a private transaction after the auction. And what do people think that this car is worth? It would certainly be very expensive to reproduce, but how much can an old Volvo really command?

Yes, this is a nice looking car in the small pictures on the net. Note that the car is billed as a 1968, but doesnt have 68 features like side marker lites, padding on bottom of dash, and of course you can't see if it has headrests. In the Amazon register, the car isn't listed, but serial number that was given puts it in the 1967 range. Maybe it wasn't sold originally 'til the 1968 model year. Note that it has a Vermont license tag which would put it as being from the heart of the snow belt.

Yep, its tempting me too and I don't need another car...even one thats not a project. Good thing Im at least 600 miles away from it.

Nice car, although my '67 wagon is the probably the best Amazon in the country.

If it were me, I would seriously consider flying out there for the weekend with cash in hand and giving it a thorough inspection before buying. Short of that I would ask for detailed undercarriage photos, although if it truely is a concours winner then you shouldn't have to worry about rust and rot. And get some detailed info about what has been done to the engine - he doesn't mention anything about a rebuild, just a resto. If the rust is zero, engine was properly rebuilt, with hot tank soak, new bearings seals , etc etc. and the trans shifts properly into OD, then go for it.
sorry i don't live near by , i'd check it out for ya
