"A rare line maintenance car that deserves to be back on the roads. Much of the heavy lifting has already been done, as the frame and front suspension are complete. Now it remains to fix the original damage on the rear roof panel, and complete the renovation. Many hours remain, but it is an unusually good starting point. However, some missing parts may need to be obtained. To get a better understanding, it is recommended to watch the film we recorded, when we went through many of the parts together with the representative of the deceased estate."

Description

The car is being sold on behalf of an estate. A renovation was started in the late 1970s. At that time, the car had been involved in an accident when snow fell from a roof and dented the rear part of the roof. The owner, who worked at the Telecommunications Authority, took a thorough approach and dismantled the car for a complete overhaul. Currently, the frame has been completely restored, and any small rust on the body has been addressed. We have tapped on the body with a pointed hammer at rust-sensitive areas without any issues. We have gone through some of the many plastic boxes and crates that come with disassembled parts. We cannot guarantee that everything is present, and there may be duplicates of certain items. What we know is missing is the original steering column with steering gear and the original steering wheel. The car has an interesting history in that it was purchased directly from the Telecommunications Authority by the employee who used it and has remained in the family since then. It has been unused since 1977 when the renovation was halted. Included are four unused KPZ 5.5" wide rims, which were a popular accessory at that time. Additionally, four blasted and painted original 4" wide "duett" rims are also available.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Renovated frame in excellent condition. Professionally done by a skilled individual. Motor in unknown condition, able to be turned over, included. Extra gearbox also included. Steering column with steering gear has not been found. We are unsure if the front wheel spindles and control arms are in any boxes. An additional rear axle in unknown condition is also included. See pictures and video.

  • Interior condition:

    Everything disassembled. Uncertain what is missing. Original door panels are available, they are dirty with taken holes for speakers. All rubber mats are available, for condition see video. Headliner available, dirty with damages. Original steering wheel not found, 1970's sport steering wheel is available. Front seats dirty and not original. Rear seat is very dirty and has some small damages.

  • Exterior condition:

    The body has had the sand plates and rear corners replaced. There is one small rust hole in the right rear fender edge. See the video. The floor wells are intact. We removed all loose parts from the body and inspected the floor, which was without issue. See the video for more information. The car was put away in 1977 after the rear part of the roof was dented by a snowfall. A roof plate for replacement is included. See the picture. The windshield and side windows are loose.

  • General condition:

    Renovation object. Good starting point for fine renovation. Lacks some parts, we believe that the majority of necessary parts are included.

Owner's comment

One of the estate owners has told the following. The deceased father worked at Televerket and was able to buy the car at a favorable price. In 1977, a snowdrift collapsed the roof of the car, and he decided to overhaul the Duetten. The frame was completed, but it has been dismantled and stored for approximately 40 years since then.

Facts about the model

The Volvo Duett car model was common among government agencies, with the most well-known perhaps being the orange cars used by the Telecommunications Authority. The government agencies had their own color schemes and therefore specific color codes for Volvo. The Telecommunications Authority used color code 74. Other examples of government users of the Duett were the Postal Service, State Forestry, Swedish State Railways, State Power Company, and Police. The Duett was appreciated for its simplicity and robust construction, and the cars were sometimes put under significant strain. The last Volvo Duett was manufactured in 1969. The total number of Duetts produced was 101,492, including delivery chassis.
