We must have more classic cars in the game, and it can't be much more classic sports sedan from Volvo than a Volvo Amazon GT (123GT)

I searched for the Amazon earlier but came up short. Didn't occur to me that it could be labelled otherwise.
Glad I found it here, nice suggestion Aero2000.

My parents owned a matte white Amazon a long time ago.
I still remember the licence plate. FUE-968

It looked pretty much the same as the model used in the music video below;

Thanks for your vote JockeP22 There is one thread more about the Amazon but it's has no specific model...

I think there's many Swedish (and other countries) persons that has a relationship to the Amazon on one way or another

My Grandpa had a graphite grey two-tone paint when my mother was a child... I have only seen a picture of it

Nice Volvo ... voted of course.

Tanks for your vote, yeah it's very nice, and has a place in the history in Swedish rally and of course the 123GT was the fastest and sportiest Amazon and many boys had dreams about one day own a 123GT, for some of the boys the only owning of the car is a picture on the wall and others they had enough of money and luck to ,find, and buy it This is the Swedish sports car of the 60's
