Beautiful Example of the Iconic Volvo 122S Amazon
1964 Volvo 122S "Amazon" Coupe
Complete Rust-Free Restoration • Upgraded 2.0L Engine • M21 4-Speed with Electric Overdrive • Beautifully Restored Throughout
The Volvo 122S, affectionately known around the world as the Amazon, has earned a reputation as one of the most durable, elegantly designed, and enjoyable sports sedans of the 1960s. Combining timeless Scandinavian styling with legendary reliability, the Amazon has become increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate craftsmanship, drivability, and understated design.
Offered here is a beautiful 1964 Volvo 122S Coupe that has benefited from a comprehensive restoration performed on an outstanding rust-free chassis. Finished in its original Soft White over a beautifully crafted red interior, this Amazon presents as a striking example that has clearly been restored with meticulous attention to authenticity while incorporating thoughtful mechanical upgrades that enhance the driving experience.
The car has been garage kept, carefully maintained, and remains an excellent representation of one of Volvo's most beloved classics. The odometer currently indicates approximately 73,000 miles, though total chassis mileage is TMU (True Mileage Unknown) due to the restoration.
POWERTRAIN
Power comes from an upgraded 2.0-liter B20 inline-four, offering improved performance while retaining the character and simplicity that enthusiasts appreciate in the Volvo B-series engine family. Engine and drivetrain highlights include:
- Upgraded B20 2.0-Liter Inline-Four Engine
- Weber Downdraft Carburetor
- Cannon Performance Intake Manifold
- M21 Four Speed Manual Transmission
- Electric Overdrive
For collectors seeking originality, the original dual SU carburetors and intake manifold accompany the vehicle, allowing a future owner the option of returning the induction system to factory specification.
CHASSIS
The suspension and chassis remain true to the car's original character while presenting beautifully throughout. Highlights include:
- Wide Whitewall Radial Tires
- Original Steel Wheels
- Correct Volvo Hub Caps
- Stainless Beauty Rings
- Wheels Finished in Correct Red
The combination of whitewall tires and factory-style wheels perfectly complements the Amazon's clean Scandinavian styling.
EXTERIOR
Finished in its original Soft White, the exterior was refinished as part of the restoration and exhibits outstanding fit and finish. The body panels are straight, the gaps are consistent, and the overall presentation reflects the quality expected from a carefully restored example. Additional exterior features include:
- Excellent Chrome Brightwork
- Restored Stainless Trim
- Factory Bumper Guards
- Excellent Glass Throughout
The understated elegance of the Amazon's design remains one of its greatest strengths, and this example showcases those lines beautifully.
INTERIOR
The interior has been tastefully restored in a rich red upholstery, providing a striking contrast against the Soft White exterior. Materials, fit, and craftsmanship demonstrate the same attention to detail evident throughout the rest of the vehicle. Interior appointments include:
- Beautifully Restored Red Interior
- Nardi Leather Steering Wheel
- Restored Dashboard and Trim
- Classic Volvo Instrumentation
The addition of the Nardi steering wheel offers a subtle period-correct sporting touch while enhancing the driving experience.
If you've been searching for a properly restored Volvo Amazon that stands apart from the ordinary, this exceptional 1964 122S deserves your consideration. Opportunities to acquire rust-free, comprehensively restored examples of this quality are increasingly uncommon.
