"Nice history and documentation, as well as a modest yet sporty condition."

Description

It was delivered new to the present owner's father in July 1968, when he traded in his older Amazon-62 at Volvo dealer Storcks Bil AB in Falkenberg. The son took over the Amazon from his father in 1991, and in the winter of 1999-2000, he had the body renovated and repainted the car. The car comes with a lot of paperwork, including the original purchase contract, warranty certificate, exchange receipt, instruction book, service book, earlier tax receipts, registration certificate, and a good collection of inspection protocols ranging from the 1970s to the present. In 2017, the last and hence final certified inspection was performed. The meter has turned twice, and the overall mileage is slightly more than 230,000 km.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The original engine has been replaced by a sportier, newer B18D engine from a Volvo Valp, which is outfitted with a sharper Weber 32/36 carburetor. The engine, transmission, chassis, and brakes have a lively and pleasant driving sensation. The car comes with the original engine (picture).

  • Interior condition:

    Apart from the back seat and the driver's door card, the original furnishings are in good condition and fit the car's exterior. The headliner is completely clean, and the head restraints are attached in the chairs' original pipe brackets. Under the newer textile mats are the original rubber mats.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car was painted in its original color 22 years ago, and the paint is still nice and presentable. Much of the chrome is polished and  and unmarked. Small paint improvements may be visible around the chrome accents on the side. The wheel arches are adorned with somewhat broader and more popular classic 5.5-inch wheels. All windows now have new rubber seals.

  • General condition:

    Overall, a very nice and fresh impression with a fun user-friendliness and excellent documentation.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
  • For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
