"Sensible and pleasant Amazon in a color attractive to many, equipped with the most fun engine specification in the model range at the time."

Description

It was delivered new in Kalix in February 1967 and remained in the area until 2004 when it moved to Vinslöv outside Hässleholm for a body renovation. A new owner in 2014 had the engine sent for overhaul and built it to the performance level of a contemporary 122S. The engine has run just under 10,000 kilometers since the renovation. The current owner, since 2017, has relived their first car experience after getting a driver's license with this extra spiced up Amazon from 1967, and has only made small fixes over the years such as a chrome strip, a fuel system component, and a standard exhaust system. A box with small parts and other useful items is included (see photos). The latest and final inspection was carried out on April 30, 2018.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    Engine, transmission, and brakes feel Amazon-reliable in behavior and feel, and additionally a bit peppier than a normal Volvo 121. The engine has been renovated and upgraded by the well-renowned Krilles Motor in Torshälla outside Eskilstuna, and according to specifications and calculations, it has around 115 hp, which is equivalent to what a 122S had. The current owner replaced the not entirely unusual and noisy 2-inch exhaust system, typical when tuning a B18, with a standard system, and the former has been sold.

  • Interior condition

    Stylish, in what appears to be original upholstery with a small tear on the left side of the driver's seat. Nice carpets underneath the black aftermarket floor mats. No crinkle paint on the instrument cluster, where the brass is instead visible. The headliner and door panels are in good condition with normal wear, slightly more on the driver's side, along with old holes for the handle.

  • Exterior condition

    Older paint job from 2008 that has held up well. Good chrome, left side windows and rear window have dots probably from an angle grinder and some scratches. Underbody treated with a nice linseed oil-based product. Tow bar and classic mud flaps are part of the car's practical and thoughtful equipment along with a set of newer tires from 2021.

  • General condition

    A substantial and nice overall impression with a sort of moderate performance tweak that has both a discreet and fun demeanor. Partially with standard size on the rims and a standard exhaust system, and partially with an engine in Sport specification.

  • 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.

  • 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.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
