This 1967 Volvo 123 GT was purchased by the seller in 2012 and then restored at a cost of approximately $35k. This is a Canadian GT that was assembled in Nova Scotia and kept by the prior owner in Kitchener, Ontario since 1988. The car retains its factory 1.8 liter inline-four and 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive, which remain in good condition following a transmission refresh in 2015 and many new parts during the restoration as detailed below. Cosmetics were addressed with rust repair, several new body panels, replacement bumper, fresh trim, and a full repaint in Brewster Green, while the interior was overhauled as well. This 123GT is now offered with restoration receipts, its original wheels, a host of spares, and a clean New Brunswick title in the seller’s name.

The above photo shows the car as it was purchased by the seller in 2012. The paint was worn and the car had areas of body rust on both quarter panels and the frame cross-members below the radiator and along the lower end of the car. The seller purchased a 1968 122 donor car and swapped the hood, trunk, quarter panels, back seat, front bumper, and most of the glass to the 123GT. The cross-members were cut out and replaced. The floors, glass, and all other areas of the 123GT were in reportedly solid condition and did not need replacement.

This car was originally painted code 94 Green from the factory and the seller elected to have a full professional repaint completed in Nason GS172 acrylic enamel “Brewster Green” as shown above. The finish remains in good shape according to the seller, with flaws limited to chips on the right front fender, left side at the trunk, and some bubbling on the lower driver’s door, all of which are detailed in the photo gallery below.

New exterior cosmetics fitted during the restoration included all-new chrome trim apart from the rear bumper and vent window pieces which are original. New Hella driving lamps were fitted along with all-new rubber and weatherstripping throughout. New mud flaps, gravel guards, turn signal lenses/bulbs, undercoating, and many stainless steel bolts were also installed. In the provided photos, this Volvo presents as a nicely sorted driver with clean cosmetics throughout.

The wheels are VTO 15″ alloys with Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires at all four corners. The original wheels also come with the car. The suspension was modified with a polyurethane bushing kit, Bilstein shocks, and progressive rate springs that lower the car 1.5.” During the restoration, the car also received new brake pads, brake lines, and tie rods.

The interior was fully addressed during the restoration with new front seat cushions and covers, carpeting, seat belts, door panels, a new dash pad and center console, rear-view mirror, and headliner. The factory stereo was replaced with a Retrosound Bluetooth unit while the factory stereo is also included with the sale.

The interior is described as clean throughout with flaws limited to two small holes in the headliner above the rear-view mirror, a small tear under the dashboard, and some cracks in the steering wheel. A spare 15″ steering wheel is also included in the sale as shown in the photo gallery below.

The seller reports that all instrumentation is functional with the exception of the temperature gauge, and the turn signal switch does not stay on by itself. Other than that, all features are claimed to be in solid condition. The working odometer currently shows 48,336 miles.

This GT is said to retain its factory 1.8 liter engine and 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive, which were removed and repainted during the restoration process. The transmission was fully refreshed in 2015, while the engine recently received a new fan blade, 55-amp alternator, water pump, distributor, spark plugs and wires, new filters throughout, a clutch master cylinder, various hoses, carburetor refurbishment, and a re-cored radiator.

The engine is reported to run strong, though a mild clapping sound can be heard at idle that the seller says is the result of the engine needing a new timing gear. The engine has been running Valvoline Racing 20W-50 oil and recent service receipts are included with the sale.

The seller has provided a few undercarriage photos as displayed in the gallery. He states that all rust issues were addressed during the restoration and the new undercoating will assist in keeping this Volvo free of problems in the future.

Several boxes of spares will also be included with the sale, consisting of the original wheels, front and rear glass, many original chrome parts, brake pads, a clutch, the original stereo, and more with several containers shown in the photo gallery below.

The seller states that the restoration was thorough and that this 123GT is now ready to be driven and enjoyed by its next owner straight away.
