Beschreibung

The story of a dark green Volvo Amazon.

In 1968, the Amazon was purchased new by BPA Byggproduktion in Eskilstuna. BPA stood for Byggfackens Produktions AB and was a nationwide conglomerate where both LO and Kooperativa Förbundet were shareholders. (BPA later merged into the current PEAB and Bravida.) The car was assigned registration number D35936. Just a year later, BPA switched to a new car, and the Amazon was bought by Englunds Bil in Luleå. Since it was now located in Norrbotten County, the car was assigned registration number BD68236. The year was now 1969, and the then only 1-year-old Amazon was purchased by Mr. Edvind Letho in Boden. He was very satisfied with his car and owned it until 2015. The car then ended up with a lady in Övertorneå who initially intended to restore it, but instead handed over the car to the current owner.

All this information has been obtained through accompanying documents, the Swedish Transport Agency, as well as owner interviews. The current owner is a well-known car restorer and enthusiast who has restored several Volvo cars, including several fine Volvo PVs. Here, he has put incredible effort into restoring and improving the car to almost new condition. The entire car has been completely dismantled and renovated. It is impossible to list all the parts that have been replaced during the renovation. Everything the owner deemed inadequate was replaced with new or refurbished parts.

Over 140,000 SEK has been spent on new parts and materials alone, excluding labor costs. The car is in exactly the same appearance as an original 1968 Amazon and has been prepared with the goal of creating a car that is suitable for use in modern traffic, where all details have been carefully considered during the update to make it look like Volvo had built it this way. The mileage is 218 980 km, as the odometer rolls over. After the full restoration, the car has been driven 200 miles. So, that is probably the relevant distance. The owner now feels done with the restoration and is selling the car to benefit his other hobby vehicles.

Kommentar vom Besitzer

Jag har lagt ner min själ i att renovera bilen till ett skick som inte skäms för sig. Eftersom det är en Norrbottensbil så var den inte speciellt dålig från början. Jag fick byta sandplåtarna bak, samt de bakre hjulhusen. Därefter har karossen varit isär och allt lackerats både invändigt och utvändigt. När bilen var ny satt det B18-motor och M40 växellåda i den. Jag uppdaterade bilen med B20-motor och overdrive för att få en bil med mer ork som kan hänga med i trafiken utan att behöva köras på högsta varvtalet. Man kan lägga i overdriven redan vid 65- 70km/h och den orkar utan problem. Varvtalet ligger på låga 2500 varv/minut vid 90km/h. Efter renoveringen körde jag 80 mil, sen bytte jag olja och filter igen. Trots att bilen endast gått 200 mil sedan renoveringen var klar 2022, så kommer den att levereras nyservad. Jag vill inte lämna något åt slumpen.

Fakten zum Modell

During the 1960s, the Amazon was Volvo's volume car and a great success in several export markets. In 1966, the Volvo 140 was launched, but production of the Amazon continued until 1970. Throughout its production years, the Amazon underwent various modifications, but the basic form remained unchanged during the 14 years the model was manufactured. New features in 1968 included: Steering wheel for the adjustable lumbar supports in the front seats, a new shock-absorbing steering wheel with a recessed hub for better driver safety, brake servo on all models, new sun visors with more padding, and a split steering column for better driver safety. In total, 667,791 Amazons were manufactured between October 1956 and July 1970. (However, Volvo's official figure is 667,323 cars).
