Used Car of the Day: 1965 Volvo 122s
Today we go away from the Lincoln/ Mercury love for a beat-up but classic Volvo -- this 1965 Volvo 122s.
The seller is clear about this car being in rough shape, though it runs and drives well, apparently. It sounds like the drivetrain and tires are in good shape -- but a lot of other stuff needs work.
It appears it leaks when it rains and the body and floor pan needs a lot of work. It sounds like needs doors especially. Oh, and rust appears to be a major problem.
Click over here for all the pros and cons. This car is located in Spokane, Washington, and the asking price is just $1,500.
Could be a fun project car, if you're so inclined.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.
