"A nice classic Amazon in a vibrant color combination that evokes the proper Volvo vibe and 1960s nostalgia."

Description

A well-kept classic that has spent much of its existence in Norrland, stood for many years, and rested in a garage. It was looked after ten years ago by an enthusiast and car collector. He has refined the car with a new paint job and a technical evaluation. Basically, the car was and is in excellent original condition, with great bodywork and underbody. It has now traveled 179,060 leisurely km, ideally in the interior of Northern Sweden. A standard Amazon from the mid-1960s with a rare added feature, a rear axle with differential braking (anti-spin). This was a rare item among typical Amazons. This was most likely ordered by the first owner who sought after more road safety.
Everything appears to be in working order, and the nearly 60-year-old car wears its age with dignity. Extra rubber mats, as well as the original instruction book, service manual, and documentation, are included. There are also a number of older inspection reports. The car has been inspectioned/MOTed and is ready to drive.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Everything works, and the car feels as stable and reliable as a nearly 60-year-old Amazon should. It starts easily, runs smoothly, and has strong brakes. The clutch should be checked since it can jam when downshifting at low speeds. The underbody has not been examined, but everything appears to be in good working shape and is reportedly unwelded.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is mostly complete and nice, however there is some noticeable wear. Headliner is in good condition. The dashboard is free of cracks, however there is a little gap between the speedometer and the gauges. The rubber mat at the gear lever boot are worn. A small amount of marks around the door steps.

  • Exterior condition:

    A few years ago, it was professionally repainted in its original color. The front and rear windows were not removed while repainting.  Glass and chrome are in good shape, with only minor dents and age wear in the bodywork. Good wheels and tires.

  • General condition:

    A good and neat, well-functioning Amazon from the cheerful 1960s, in a nice color scheme, with an uncommon original accessory with differential brake. It's ready to drive away, but like with any classic, there's something to refine for those who desire it.

Facts about the model

Det har väl skrivits spaltmeter om Amazon, en av våra mest omhuldade klassikerbilar.

Design Jan Wilsgaard med lite italienska influenser och Volvos svar på den sk. pontonkarossen som blev signum för 50-talet. Tillverkad från 1956 till 1970, årsmodeller 1957-1970. Till årsmodell 1959 världens första serietillverkade bil med trepunktsbälte i fram som standard.

Den skottsäkra B18 motorn om 75 hkr kom till årsmodell 1962. Till årsmodell 1965 blev det en del förändringar med ny grill, nya stolar och inredning samt sk. hålfälgar och nya navkapslar.

När 70-talet var här fick Amazonen pensioneras efter 14 årsmodeller och 667.332 tillverkade enheter. Två, fyra eller fem dörrar och från standard versioner till Sport och GT versioner. En svensk ikon och motorhistorik.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
