"A reliable and charming Amazon with some minor tasks to tackle if you want to make it even nicer."

Description

A pleasant 1964 Volvo Amazon that has been partially repainted at some point. With some minor fixes and detailing, it could be further improved. The interior is in decent condition, and the car gives an overall good impression. This vehicle, which has had only seven owners, runs well except for the overdrive, which is not functioning—it’s unclear what the issue is. The engine has been rebuilt and is equipped with a K camshaft, dual SU carburetors, and a 123 distributor. The Amazon is fitted with new summer tires mounted on new rims. The odometer has likely rolled over at least once.

The Volvo Amazon remains one of the most common classic cars in Sweden. Of the 297,000 cars sold in the country, eight percent are still around. The most common model year is 1966, with nearly 5,000 examples still registered. In total, around 24,000 Amazons are currently registered in Sweden. Some documentation comes with the car, as seen in the photos.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine and drivetrain run well, and the car is easy to drive. The brakes engage evenly and effectively. It has an overdrive gearbox with the original shifter, but the overdrive is not functioning, and the issue is unclear.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is in decent condition, showing signs of use. The padding on the dashboard has a crack. The headliner is in good shape, as are the floor mats. The wooden steering wheel is in excellent and intact condition.

  • Exterior condition:

    Partially repainted, the paint is in typical condition for the car’s age and mileage. The chrome work shows some wear, and one chrome trim piece is loose, as seen in the photo. The sealing strips are somewhat dry and cracked.

  • General condition:

    A Volvo in pleasant and practical running condition. The car feels solid and dependable.

Facts about the model

In August 1963, Volvo, as usual, presented the updates for the coming year, and this time there were several new features. The four-door version could now be ordered with a three-speed automatic transmission. All Amazons received low-profile tires, and the trunk was fitted with a new handle. Reversing lights were incorporated into the rear lights as standard. The headliner was now made of plastic, and the upholstery could be ordered in either green or red.

A total of 80,675 units were produced.
