Description
As a fun fact, according to information, this is the only "Gyllengul" (golden yellow) '65 Amazon in the country. The color was discontinued in Volvo's catalog with the 1964 model year (both for the PV and Amazon) in the fall of '64. This car was manufactured in September 1964 (first registered on November 12, 1964), and for some reason, a '65 model was painted in the older color. 1965 also saw many other detail changes, such as new seats, a different grille, and rear handles, among others. That's why it is particularly delightful to have this beautiful color, which suits the Amazon so well. The vehicle registry notes the color as white, but the car has always been "gyllengul" (golden yellow).
Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The car starts right away, the choke operates perfectly, the engine purrs like a sewing machine, and the gears shift smoothly. It's almost tear-jerking to drive the car out of the garage. Is this how they felt when they were new?! It feels like a fine mechanical masterpiece compared to the equivalent in everyday condition that one has driven so many times...
-
Interior condition
Newly upholstered seats, headliner, door panels, and more in the original color and design. The only deviation is the lower carpet, which is made of velour instead of rubber, as the original material is no longer available. All the details are equivalent to new, even everything under the dashboard and under the carpets. No shortcuts anywhere.
-
Exterior condition
Straight body with no signs of previous repairs. Perfect door and hood gaps. Flawless paintwork, both in thickness and finish. The quality of the paint is truly remarkable, both on the exterior and in all the edges and crevices. Perfect glass windows, trim, lights, and other details. Everything is original with the correct part numbers and date stamps.
-
General condition
Everything is correct on the car, even the date stamp on the owner's manual and the part number on the spare wheel. Is it too nice to be driven? I don't think so. A few thousand miles with this car over a few years/summers is pure joy and a high level of quality of life. The important thing is to be careful about how it is stored, that's the most crucial aspect. A dry and dust-free climate in the garage is essential for a car as beautiful as this one.
