"A fine example of a classic Amazon in rally trim."

Description

Here we have a cool Amazon rally car in good condition, which has only been driven in a few minor rallies. FIA documents are available but need to be renewed as the previous certification has expired. However, this should not be a major issue to renew and get the car back on the rally scene again. The car also looks good underneath.

The car is not inspected, and its last inspection was likely around 10 years ago.

The Amazon is equipped with a 4.88 gear ratio and a close-ratio gearbox, limited-slip differential, brake balance bar, sports steering wheel, Bilstein shock absorbers, auxiliary lights, and stylish Minilite wheels fitted with older tires that still have decent tread depth. It also features a safety fuel tank in the trunk, equipped with a new fuel pump.

The engine, a tuned B18 producing an estimated 150 hp, is fitted with twin SU carburetors. Racing bucket seats are installed, but the car lacks seat belts.

The front and rear suspension have been serviced, including the replacement of various bushings. A skid plate is included separately with the car.

Facts about the model

The Volvo Amazon, designed by Jan Wilsgaard with a touch of Italian influence, was Volvo's response to the so-called ponton body style that became a hallmark of the 1950s. Produced from 1956 to 1970, covering model years 1957–1970, it became the world's first mass-produced car to feature three-point front seat belts as standard in the 1959 model year.

As usual, Volvo introduced its new model year updates in August of the previous year. For the 1965 model year, there were more changes than usual, with the biggest being the introduction of front disc brakes on all models. Visually, the Amazon received a new grille, perforated wheels, and new stainless steel hubcaps. Another significant update was the new front seats, developed in collaboration with medical experts. The entire new interior was upholstered in perforated vinyl, resulting in a modern look that was also easy to keep clean.

When the 1970s arrived, the Amazon was retired after 14 model years and a total production of 667,332 units. Available as a two-door, four-door, or five-door variant, and ranging from standard models to Sport and GT versions, the Amazon remains a Swedish icon and an important part of automotive history.
