"Nice and unusual 164 that gives a clean and honest impression."

Description

The car was ordered with model code 1371 and was used by the CEO at the local Volvo dealer in Ludvika, Dalarna, for a year. This model number denoted, among other things, a Borg-Warner column shift automatic gearbox and an exciting full front bench seat. The next owner was a local elementary school teacher, who drove the car until 1996, usually during the summer. It then had two owners, one of whom initiated a renovation. The current owner purchased the car in 2001 and completed the renovation. After that, it was used sparingly and is today sold mostly for storage purposes.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine was replaced with a 1969 unit, and the transmission was restored in 2001 by the Volvo Clubs / SVIS in Köping. The brakes were also renovated at the time. According to the owner, the gearbox is leaking some oil, most likely from the speedometer. The engine compartment has not been touched. The engine and automatic transmission provide a nice feel, shift, and sound.

  • Interior condition:

    Nice and neat interior with an exciting full bench seat, which was a code and detail for the American market. Beautiful light blue wool fabric and carpeting, but the driver's seat has a tear at the top of the backrest ( see picture). Lovely and rare headrests in a delectably patterned fabric, as well as an original Blaupunkt radio.

  • Exterior condition:

    In 2001, the body was partially renovated with new wings, a new windscreen and front plate, and a totally repainted in the original color Pearl white 42. There are a few minor parking dings on the doors and side moldings. Volvo original towbar and nice metal number plate are included.

  • General condition:

    A nice and very functional 164 with a proud history in a nice and sincere honest condition. Since I haven't driven much since the Covid times, I could recommend a service.

Facts about the model

Utvecklingen av 164 påbörjades redan i slutet av 1950-talet, då man planerade att ta fram en större modell än Amazon, som då var den största Volvon. Modellen var planerad att få en V8, men den tänkta modellen kom inte längre än till prototypstadiet.
Eftersom samtliga modeller som Volvo tillverkade började falla för åldersstrecket blev det i stället högsta prioritet att ta fram en ersättare till Amazon. Det resulterade i 140-serien, och för att spara utvecklingskostnader fick även lyxmodellen 164 baseras på denna konstruktion. För att markera skillnaden fick 164 en annan formgivning av fronten så att man kunde se skillnad på dem. Framdelen av bilen var också 20 cm längre än 144, och detta gav plats för en sexcylindrig radmotor, som var baserad på den nya B20 som ersatte B18. Utrustningsnivån i 164 var högre än i 140-serien, med bland annat skinnklädsel. Taklucka fanns som tillval. Automatlåda (3-stegad Borg Warner) fanns också som tillval.
