"A skillfully executed restoration that has resulted in an outstanding outcome. There is nothing to criticize; the car is in impeccable condition both inside and out."

Description

Hans-Olof Johansson in Fågelmara is a recognized skilled mechanic and a great automotive enthusiast. Over the years, he has accumulated a wonderful collection of cars, motorcycles, and mopeds. These have been in fine condition or projects that he has meticulously restored to top condition. He is now choosing to sell parts of the collection as time does not permit him to maintain everything. This car joined the collection in 2007 and had been parked since 1995. Given the need for restoration, the car was placed in a dry barn awaiting renovation. In 2018, Hasse began the restoration, disassembling the car and meticulously restoring each detail.

Owner's comment

Completely restored between 2018-2021 by myself. Engine, gearbox, body, front and rear suspension, brakes, and body parts have all been replaced. The body was lead-filled and then painted at a renowned paint shop. New carpets and upholstery, all wear parts replaced, new tires and wheels, exhaust system, and new bumpers, etc. Since the restoration was completed, the car has been driven sparingly during the summer.

Facts about the model

During the 1960s, the Amazon was Volvo’s volume car and a great success in several export markets. In 1966, the Volvo 140 was launched, but the Amazon continued to be produced until 1970. Throughout its production years, the Amazon underwent numerous modifications, but its basic form was retained over the 14 years of its production. Innovations in the last model years included the following: adjustable lumbar support in the front seats, a new shock-absorbing steering wheel with a recessed hub for better driver safety, brake servos on all cars, a dual-circuit brake system, new sun visors with more padding, and a split steering column for better driver safety. The last Swedish-manufactured Amazon rolled off the production line in July 1970. It was dark blue, had chassis number 359726, and was driven directly to the Volvo museum.

A total of 667,791 Amazons were produced between October 1956 and July 1970. However, Volvo’s official figure is 667,323 cars.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
