Description
With the help of a "K" camshaft, a sports exhaust, and a few more techniques, the engine's output was increased to roughly 135 horsepower. Skilled experts from the Volvo transmission factory in Koping repaired the gearbox and rear axle. Front and back suspension, all electrics, brakes, interior, and body were meticulously reconstructed using both restored and remanufactured parts.
Doors and wings were donated by a donor car from rust-free California. For practical reasons, the high/low beam switch was relocated to the steering column, and an inertia belt was installed for the front seats. It received its MOT in May, and the old Gothenburg registration, OA18821, was given a new registration plate. Since then, it has been driven around 500 kilometres to ensure that everything works well. And the circle is complete: the garage's first owner in 1965 lived just a few hundred metres away. And, of course, next to the Volvo factory.

Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The original engine has been renovated and increased to 135 horsepower, and it is a "matching numbers" engine, which is crucial in classic contexts. The car starts quickly, and the gears click in nicely, the brakes pull evenly, and the parking brake pulls up just enough.
There are no vibrations, creaking, or squeaking. The car appears to be brand new. -
Interior condition
Take a look at the pictures and imagine yourself driving a new car. When there was a barely visible crease at the back window for the first time, the headliner had to be replaced twice. All small details have been replaced or renovated, including the ventilation windows, which have been chromed. Professionals restored the speedometer, which now stands at 94,720 km on the original metre. We can't verify the extract original mileage.
-
Exterior condition
Bodywork is rust-free and straight, with a perfect fit and no spackle. Body is fully repainted and in its original colour. A polishing and protective paint treatment could bring out even more lustre (tips for the next owner).
-
General condition
The gentlemen, we believe, have completed an excellent renovation. Simply congratulate and thank you for your hard work. The interior of the car is just as appealing as the exterior and engine compartment. Everything is brand new. The first outing was on May 22 at the Tjolöholm Classic Car Show, where it drew a lot of attention. It was shaken down and adjusted, and everything worked perfectly.
