Description

This Swedish-sold Amazon, first registered in 1964, has had a total of 11 owners. Originally finished in dark grey, the car was transformed by SHRA students aiming to create a showpiece for the Elmia Classic Car Show. Their focus was on achieving a striking appearance, an impressive sound system, and ensuring the car was in drivable condition. The body was thoroughly renovated and repainted in a two-tone red and white, resulting in a well-presented finish.

Inside, the car is fitted with large door-mounted speakers and an amplifier in the boot, and the seats have been re-coloured in black, albeit to a basic standard. The headliner and door cards are newly upholstered in simple black material, though there are missing rear side panels around the windows. While the exterior and sound system are well executed, the interior would benefit from additional work to reach a higher standard "see pictures"

The mileage is at least 174,403 km, though there is no available information to verify the exact figure, so it may be higher.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car runs and drives fine, with a solid engine, gearbox, and brakes. However, it would benefit from a clutch adjustment, carburetor tuning, and an oil change in the rear axle, which has a minor rattle. It features nice steel wheels without hubcaps, paired with decent whitewall tires. This vehicle is inspection-exempt indefinitely.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is in functional condition and can be left as is, though it would benefit from some additional work and original parts, which are easily available new or second-hand from VP Parts. The stereo currently isn’t working—I wasn’t able to get it operational—but with a bit of attention, it could likely be fixed.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is straight and clean, with no visible damage or rust, and the underbody is tidy, showing some previous repair work. The paintwork has a nice finish and gives the car a sporty look with its two-tone color scheme. The chrome is bright overall, though there is some oxidation on the door handles, and a small rust hole on the rear right corner of the bumper.

  • General condition:

    This is a good-looking car that has had the major work completed on the body and paint, giving it a clean, attractive appearance. With just some interior updates and minor engine adjustments, it could be taken to the next level—or simply enjoyed as is. The choice is yours!

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