Never thought I'd see the day where I wanted a Volvo wagon so bad. This thing is awesome, great job!!
In Sweden they salt the roads, I have never seen a 145 without rust before. The top

Incredible timeless design language.
As reliable as it gets! Getting hard to find one this nice even here in Sweden... Keep up the good work (and please keep the car as well) :)
Ah, its both harder and easier to find near mint condition volvos now. 10+ years ago it was easy to find endless rusted out ones for almost free, and a few old man owned in decent condition but no one restored or cared for them. Now theres more and more restored ones and more hidden barnfinds coming out thanks to higher value so its way easier to find a mint one today but you have to pay 50 - 120 000
@@sjoerdriberi9268 yes remove a zero and its close to dollar
@@neuroleptika All agreed, its both easier and harder. With "this nice" I meant like a barn find of the sort Michael did find. 145 (station wagon), 2 owners, sitting for the last 10 years, everything original on the car, not completely banged up etc. Like a dream for a restorer! Already restored or customized ones are still quite easy to find if you got the cash.
@@OrangeZingoSWE yep thats true. But if you just want a decent or mint 240, even the most expensive will often cost you less than to restore yourself so I think rn prices are in a sweet spot, you get basically a brand new 240 for half or less of a new low end car
Oh boy it's been many years since I've used a surface planner and i miss it! Really loved seeing your uncle's woodshop.
My old man had a 92 240 5 speed in fjord blue, ipd exhaust, mild cam, installed 2 janky turbo setups then got a nice one, suspension upgrades all around, and a clutch upgrade. But the thing looked completely stock. It made 275hp at the wheels in final form and he sold it for 3k 4 years ago with 400k on it to a good home. The skinny little tires were so kick ass for burnouts in the high school parking lot.
My wife loves visiting old graveyards, so peaceful, so real
Oh my goodness I bought this same exact 1969 Volvo Wagon from the original owners in 1985. Same color. Manual transmission. Super comfortable. I probably have a picture of it somewhere. I loved it. Drove my new baby around in it. It broke down and I let it sit for a year and then gave it to a friend. I don't know what even happened to it, but I could track down the old friend and ask
Hey Michael, I just think that its cool that you get to spend time with your Dad..
And of course the cool cars as well.
What a choice ride. I am drooling. It even has the rear venting windows.
The first car I had when I got my driving license was a Volvo 142. Everything new in the chassis and newly built and tuned engine. Had a lot of fun with it.
Nice 👍👍👍👍. I agree with the sentiments expressed not only in the comments here but also in the comments attached to the last video on this car restoration. Get rid of the Mustang, it’s a toy car for boys, this Volvo is a Mans car for real men who have nothing to prove except that they are hard working, honest and true.
Thats a beautiful volvo. Good job brother
Love it- my "Beige fantasy" '76 Valiant has more neighbors stopping to look & talk about it than the Shelby GT350 sitting right by it. More people have memories & a malaise-era, "Pedestrian" car is more rare than an HP muscle car.
I LOVE later-year Valiants.
@@OnkelPHMagee I'm cloning an A38 service vehicle with it. Few deviations & improvements like an A-833 OD (iron case), 12" rotors, FFI suspension pieces, 8.75" axle with 3.55 (489 case, SG), relocate the battery, K- member that is fully perimeter welded w/ skid plate, sub- frame connectors, torque boxes, Sanden AC compressor in place of the 2-piston, cast-iron monster, Nippondenso starter, Nippondenso alternator ('89 Gran Fury cop car), color change...
When I was little, Dad ALMOST bought a new Valiant in 1975. It was a low-end car in "period-typical" metallic medium brown with a gold interior. What made it a unicorn was the Slant Six with a 4-speed manual transmission on the floor. I was interested in cars at age nine, but I had no idea at the time about how rare it was.
@@OnkelPHMagee a even more rare A-body of the '75-'76 era? The A38 police car versions. Although other countries had them (Finland, Mexico for instance), only 2 years here. I have drive a 318 version & a 360 version.
Nothing drives like a good one of these imho - perfectly weighted steering , good brakes , plenty of power and IT starts in the morning - every morning ! Would be EVEN better if it was a manual transmission - fantastic cars made with the very best steel in the world
Shalom from Mississippi gulf coast and MARANATHA LET'S GO 🥳🥳🥳 Older Volvo's are great 👍
This low mileage rust free Volvo station wagon is a real gem. It looks incredibly good. Extremely rare to find in a condition like this.
2) I really hope that I missed something or have you seriously changed only the brake caliper and pads on one side? If so it's definitely a big, big no go!!! It's extremely important to absolutely always do brake renewals on both sides of the axle. If not, you will have uneven breaking and that's definitely a big safety issue.
Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Yes you're right, but I think he did. At 4:35 he says "we can start on this side" and in the past, Michael often showed it with one example and in a later shot/video, you could see that it's done completely to make the videos more varied :)

👍👌👏 Okay, danke für den Hinweis. Ich hoffe wirklich, dem ist so. Ich habe aus der Erwähnung eines (Singular) Bremszylinders allerdings anders geschlussfolgert (zu Anfang des Videos, als er den Karton von VP auf dem Blech der Frontschürze/Frontmaske auspackt).
Viele Grüße, Glück und Gesundheit.
Man this one is a keeper. I wouldn't mind having it in my garage. What a beauty.
It’s the wagon queen family truckster. Well done!
That Volvo wagon is a real gem!
That Volvo 145 wagon sure looks awesome painted Sahara bedige,👏🏿👍☝🏽☝🏽👍
Sweet! What a Monday surprise! 😍 In Norway it's late evening and I'm watching the perfect lullaby 😴
What a fantastic old bus that is!! Super clean and very useable. Tom Cotter from Barn Find Hunter would love this, that man loves a wagon!! Keep up the good work!
amazing result looks really great and the rack build reminds me of the old saying measure twice cut once 😅
favorite part of the video was "I see a boat" 😂 such a character 😅
I actually enjoyed you showing us our country too, very nice state u have got, i hope once i will have chance to visit.
That roof rack was superlative!!! Had my doubts, hushed my mouth. That was a sweet find and rescue! The sights at the end were simply gorgeous! That spattered love bug on the windshield lets me know that spring is here for sure. Cheers!!!
Looks Great 😎👍 needs tinted windows and some chrome. Auction Ready.
Nice to see the swedish brick on the road again, is so beautiful!
Roof rack looks mint 👌
You my friend have a great taste in cars. 👏👏
I can’t believe how ahead of the times Volvo was!! 4wheel disc brakes??? Wow! And how many years they used that same body style!!! Cool car Man!
A lot of other-than-US brands did their share of innovating. I own a 1969 Rover P6, a model that was introduced in 1963 with 4-wheel disc brakes.
Love that old rig
That wagon is in great shape.My brother own a Volvo GT. pretty nice car. love the wagon.
Beautiful survivor
Michael, that’s not a abandoned car, that’s a abandoned refrigerator!
Just about as cool as the Porsche! Nice car !
This may be my favorite project of yours. Absolutely love the roof rack. How beautiful, and great craftsmanship. 👍
It still looks better than the rear passenger brake on that Avalon
Love it. Damn a suburban
Loving your volvo almost as much as the 911.
Wow, that 145 is really in wonderful shape, even the door pull/armrests are flawless. The driver's side rests are very rarely in good shape. I really hope you kept it 'cause you just don't see the 140 series on the road anymore. My 142S gets smiles from lots of people and it's not near as pristine as this one. In the three+ years I've had mine I've not seen another 140.
Now you have to join the VOLVO club too and meet some other VOLVO owners...Great fun 😄...Peace!!
You are so lucky to be able to share this with your dad, you guys look like you're loving it. Awesome!
Excellent video Budget Buildz 👌 also yes for sure Volvo station wagon last long time and in nice shape too 👍!
You done a very nice job. I have a 1971 , 142. Done the same rust repairs and as you did. Wagons are my favourites. Only thing I do not like on yours is the automatic gearbox. I would find a donor car with a 4 speed and overdrive and swap. .
I use the mityvac to empty the master cylinder as well. You would spill less than with a syringe. Less chance to damage the paint in that area.
It’s interesting to see all the orange lights on the front! Not something we had over here in the U.K.
Fantastic video as always 👍🏻
The US safety regulations, started in 1968, banished clear parking lights. When I acquired my Rover P6 I had to do some horse trading with a bloke over there so I could get the front to look right, my gub'ment bolloxed up what looked so good over there.
@@mescko yeah I’ve seen a few ‘federalised’ P6’s. They do look rather strange I have to say!
Great job I love Volvos
I’ve owned many
Enjoy
Dialed in,
Old Volvo and orange jade soda
Great video
Be well
I have always held Volvo's in very high regard because of the craftsmanship that they put into their vehicles or at least they used to they still look pretty good these days but probably not quite built as good as the ones of yesteryear. Nice job Michael
They are a Chinese company these days. 3 of the 4 factories are in China
@@olikat8 still made well Geely makes good cars
No. Geely does not equal Volvo. I am not Swedish, but the whole point of Volvo is that it IS... The only Chinese add-on that, in my opinion, might go well on this particular car would be a set of stainless beauty rings for those beautiful steelies!
Great Video Back On The ‘69 Volvo 145 Wagon, She Runs And Looks Great.. While I Was Coming Up, My Family Had A 144 Sedan That Was Purchased New, Went Through A Few Hands, Before I Saw It Again, With Almost 400K On It, They’re Tuff Old Cars.. Keep Up The Good Work Sir..
Thanks to share.
Watching you and your Dad work together is 👍
Good job.
Awesome job!
Absolutely fabulous. You are ao humble and so talented. Happy holidays to you and your family ❤️
More road trips please!
Loving the volvo .my grandads volvo was orange .he had a a cut peice of bicycle inner tube between the roof rack clamps to rail to protect the paint and trim .funny how you remember the lil things
I don't think you have to worry about the weight of the roof rack on that roof. Don't know if you remember the Volvo commercials with the Volvos stacked on top of each other. Just my two cents worth, I would keep this beautiful classic as a daily driver and protection for your precious family. Ya'll did a great job on the roof rack. It's truly a one of a kind piece!
Such a beautiful car.
As the owner of a high-mileage '96 Corolla wagon that runs like a top, I send kudos to you on your awesome family wagon, V!
🤗✌️👍😉
I'm glad you are keeping the Volvo. That is totally a keeper.
Great little wagon! Love it! Congrats on rescuing that gem!
Well done mate 🏁…..🇬🇧🏴
Great stuff guys
I have a 79 wagon with 714000 miles on it but it's not as in good of condition as yours but either way love the wagons.
im a volvo lover... Volvo for life! If you ever want to sell.. please reach out. in NC, close and easy. a real gem
Nice to see the dogwood blooming by the old cemetery. Sure sign of spring.
I still remember, that the old school 1977 Volvo 240 Estate Wagon for the Future and more parts of the Modified Cars in the World.
But it's been a while for along time ago for a lot of more parts.
That Volvo wagon is in cherry condition now!
Super Volvo with B18 or B20 caliper gerling ate in back
Would have been interesting to learn the history of that old church and cemetery…
Funny that you guys are roaming just across the state line from us. Wife and I live in Brevard, NC area and are down in the Pickens neighborhood a lot. Good job on the Volvo!!!
Ha quedado precioso
How about turning it into a Ghostbusters tribute car?
Should keep that old caliper. If it was the proportioning valve, not the caliper.
Looks beautiful! Great work bringing it back to the highways. I noticed the beige matches the dirt roads down there so it won’t show that you were driving in the dirt!
These are beautiful, well-designed cars and this example is in such clean original condition. Probably my favourite vehicle on this channel - I'd love to see more of her but in true Volvo fashion she will probably give you very little cause to tinker, so just enjoy driving what is still an incredibly usable everyday classic.
Here in the UK the 140 series was prone to rotting out, and so if you want one now you need deep pockets or else to be very handy with the welder. Even the later 240s (which I have in 1982, DL sedan form) were no match for our horrendous weather.
The dual circuit brakes can be a pain to set up but they were a revolutionary safety feature when Volvo introduced them in the 60s and designed to make a total brake failure almost impossible. Good call on the roof rack, I think they add a nice retro surf wagon look to these cars.
My partner and I have six kids so if i had one of these, I'd probably source and fit the optional third row rear-facing seats that stow away into the trunk floor and make a really practical family bus :)
Great job as always. Episodes where you are simply ENJOYING your vehicles are a fun change of pace.
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
Fantastic..
C'mon, hit a few garage sales and get something for the rack. A canoe would look good.
Lovely looking Volvo in amazing condition. I'm hoping an upcoming trip to the garage will help keep my 2003 T5 wagon on the road (175K miles) for a few more years yet.
How can you not love a beige 70s Volvo!?! Great work guys!! 😎😎
My first car in 1974 was a Volvo 145 in Sahara beige. Lovely car it was too. I still drive a Volvo but it's now a 2004 XC70. I'm enjoying this one as much as my first one.
Great Demo derby cars
I have a volvo 144 1969 that i bought one week ago i am gonna give it a full respray and some new carpets
How did it turn out? Still have it?
The roof rack looks amazing
One careful owner, only driven to church and back. 😄
Great episode! You could sell that for a ton here in Seattle.
I owned Volvos all my life, going from Volvo 142 Deluxe -68, Volvo 740 GLT -86, Volvo 855 - 98, Volvo V70 -04 and now a Volvo XC70 -10. But then again Volvos are dime a dozen here
it turned out so nice. really awesome. super reliable high quality oldie from sweden. even hard to find in Germany these days! if i would own it i would ride it as a daily and never give it away 😎
Man you should invest in a Lyft
That roof rack is so cool. That car is just nice. Michael, you have to change you last name now, to Griswald. LOL Y'all live in a nice place. Makes ya all warm and fuzzy when you watch the country side go by.
South Carolina seems beautiful. I also enjoyed the "production value" in this video, meaning camera angles and setups, the walk towards the camera at the beginning, etc. I agreee you should definitely keep this car.
From upstate New York. Been a subscriber since the beginning. Love what you guys are doing. Love the Volvo. Want to see more of the Willy.
Looks good with the roof rack.Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
i use a turkey baster...it works on p.s. res too.
make sure you wear the appropriate hat and smoke a pipe and sit in the lane driving under 80klms also both hands on the wheel head tilted back double chin exposed its a volvo
Don't forget the tweed jacket with the elbow patches and an ascot tie.
Wow, really nice job. I love the roof rack.
