"An early Amazon in very good condition."

Description

The car was purchased new in Uppsala in 1962 and was meticulously cared for by the original owner. The son eventually took over the car and continued to take exemplary care of it. When the current owner purchased the Amazon in 1989 from the son, they were informed that every time the car was taken out of the garage, it had to be washed. At the time of purchase, the car still had old diagonal tires on it. In addition, the current owner found newspapers dated from the late 60s under the mats. This Amazon is an early two-door model with a chassis number of 2297. The engine is a standard B18A. To date, the car has only traveled about 18,000 miles. The engine is still in good condition, with only the head gasket and one valve having been replaced since the change of ownership in 1989. There has been very little welding on the body, only the A-pillars, the upper parts of the fender rails, and a small section of the floor. During the current owner's time with the car, the original seats have been reinstalled. Some chrome, rubber seals, steering wheel, seat belts, tires, and indicator lenses have been replaced. Finally, the car was repainted in its original black color (color code 19) and the engine bay was freshened up. Documentation of repairs and receipts are available from 1986 onwards. A steering wheel lock and car cover are included with the car.

Facts about the model

This is an early model of the Volvo Amazon. It is from the summer of 1961, when the new two-door model was introduced, and the B18 (1.8L) engine, which is also used in the Volvo P1800, was installed in the Amazon. However, it was slightly downgraded with a single carburetor instead of the two in the sportier P1800. It still has the fully red taillights that the earliest cars were equipped with.
