121 breaking - anybody want to save it ?

My classic Volvo garage (www.scantrade.ch) in Switzerland is going to break a 121. (1967 by my guess). The car was stored 15 years in a barn, and a restoration was started, but not completed. There is a lot of work.

Anybody interested in saving it ? if so send me a pm and I can help with discussions with the owner (he only speaks German).

Correction : I found the chassis information on Volvo Amazon Picture Galery, so it's a 2 door meaning a 130. M does means a 1967 model year. Car is LHD.

That looks MUCH too good to break!

What is called the Swiss Volvo Club looks to be for PV's.

Actually the garage owner is also on the committee of the Swiss Amazon Club.

I know of the other club you mention, but they are very small and specialised in the 123gt

The garage is really a great garage and restoration shop. But I guess it's a business too, and they have decided it's uneconomical to restore.

If they are going to break it then I wonder how much they want for the bumpers...I only live in Vevey (a 2hr drive)...and I need a good set for my 2 door.

I've used Scantrade for my old 67 estate, their English is better than my German...so communication is limited.

It seems a shame to break the car...

Agreed, shame to break the car. Give Hans Maurer a call though for the bumpers.
