Honestly, I'd question any seller who thought it was a good idea to put 17" Dodge Charger rims on a classic Volvo.

I'd closely inspect the car for rust. I think anything is worth fixing on an old Volvo, as long as there is little to no rust.

I'm not sure why this car has Megasquirt as that is a fuel injection system, but he also mentions a Weber carb? That is also a red flag.

My friend just bought a cherry 122 for about a grand more than that. And it needs almost nothing. And it came with a trunkload and back seat full of parts. It came from NM so there is absolutely no rust.

That being said, I think the 122 is a great car for you to learn how to wrench on. I've been learning on 240's for the past few years, and now I own a '73 1800ES as well.

I'd run away from this one though.
