Amazon Prime Day: 1967 Volvo Amazon 123GT

When the talking heads on the internet starting carrying on about Amazon Prime day, I had to think about it.  Because the regular 122S version of the Amazon isn't prime...but then I remembered the 123GT version...which is ALMOST prime, but it is divisible by 3 & 41, which are both prime numbers and in nerd speak we call it semi-prime or biprime.  Anyway, I don't need any worthless electronic devices littering my house and listening to my private conversations (how long before the thought police start to use Alexa/Siri to find non conformists and turn them into Soilent Green...huh?  10 years? 20 -- whoa, who let Vince off his meds...quick distract him with some Saab Inca alloys and hit him with an injection of fluoride...aggggg...we now return to our regular programming), but I do need a classic Volvo. Find this 1967 Volvo Amazon 123GT offered for $2,500 in Seattle, WA via craigslist. Tip from Zach.

15k: Seldom Scene: 1967 Volvo Amazon 123GT

The Seldom Scene is a bluegrass band - a mighty good one if you are into banjo pickin, fiddling and mandolining.  Interestingly enough, the band was true to its name and mostly recorded albums and infrequently played in public because all band members had day jobs, a cartographer, mathematician, physician and graphic artist among their midst.  While Seldom had a folksy progressive bluegrass style and pale in comparison to greats like Ralph Stanley, Flatt & Scruggs or Jim & Jesse, but they did have a few good albums and they grew a decent following by being seldom scene in public.  This effect of exclusivity breeding value is not unknown to marketers and it is a cataclysmic force in the used car market.   Take this 1967 Volvo Amazon 123GT for instance, bidding for $12,100 reserve-not-met with 5 days to go in Hanover, MD.
