1968 Volvo 122 Amazon Wagon
This car was bought from the original owner’s estate in May 2009; a Nationally Famous artist
that lived in Los Angeles and moved to New Mexico in October of 1968 where the
car spent the rest of its life.
This 122S was immediately bought by the owner of the largest and oldest Volvo repair shop in
the Southwest who had maintained it for the original owner.
When they got the
car a B20 motor was installed that had been gone through, bored .20 over, had replaced timing
gears, cam, carb overhaul, and clutch. The suspension was then sorted with new
upper and lower control arm bushings, ball joints, Koni shocks, 5.5 inch wide
steel wheels and new Michelin tires.
We have all
original books and warranty documents with the stamped service history.
This is a dry
Southwest car with no rust except some corrosion around the battery tray.
Mechanically
it is solid and spry performer. The transmission shifts well, the brakes stop the
car with authority and all lights and features function as they should. This is
a fun car to drive.
As we tried to
show in the pictures the body has some issues. Although there is no evidence of
any major collisions there are some dents and scratches and paint work.
The interior
is complete with a good headliner and decent upholstery though the fabric
welting is tattered as are the rubber floor mat and dash pad.
We have
additional photos of the undercarriage and body to show the rust free nature of
the car in this Dropbox account for
those that are interested.
