Basic information and background
Fully renovated Volvo Amazon Estate in light blue over black color combo with few owners and low miles. Extensive documentation dating back to the first sale in 1964.

The Amazon estate wagon was a medium-sized car that Volvo produced from 1956 to 1970. The model went by the name 120 abroad when the name Amazon was taken by a German motorcycle manufacturer. Volvo was only allowed to use the name on the Swedish market but with the spelling Amazon.

When it came to safety, the Amazon was the first model that Volvo equipped as standard with front seat belts, and later models even got 3-point belts as standard. Volvo produced the wagon from 1962 to 1969. The total number of cars manufactured was 73,220 and 60% were exported.

This example was sold new in Sweden and has only had 2 actual users. 4 owners are registered with the Transport Board, but these have been within the same family. The current owner bought it from the estate of the first owner when the car only had  30,000 kilometers on the clock and drove the car himself to about 120,000 kilometers before it was retired and later restored. Today, the car has driven about 1250 kilometers after the renovation.
 
Equipment and Options
It comes with the original instruction book and the purchase agreement from 1964. Also included are headrests, aluminum fairings for the rims, and the original radio.
 
Condition
The seller states that the car is in very good condition, it has undergone a major renovation with new paint on the body in 2021 and an extensive engine renovation. The seller refers to the pictures.

Minor scratches/dents along the frame's moldings. (See pictures)
Small tear on the side of the driver's seat. (See pictures)
The car was painted in 2021 as the paint was old and worn, there was no underlying rust but the body needed a refresh.
The seller guarantees the meter reading.

Service History
The entire car has recently been overhauled with a total renovation of the powertrain. Everything is new in the engine with i.a. original factory's new carburetor.

Summary
A popular and sought-after model that will be a safe investment for the future. This example can be considered extra attractive with its low mileage, immaculate condition, and sound well documented ownership history. Undoubtedly an object as well suited for use on the road as in a collection.

    Hej, jag har några frågor om bilen. Är bilen svetsad, tycker mig se något på en balk på bild underifrån där man ser bensin och broms ledningen. Vad är gjort i motorn, står omfattande renovering. Har något gjorts vid bakaxel och växellåda. Mvh Anders

    Hej Danne, Tack för ditt svar. Okey då vet jag om motorns inre. Bakaxel utväxlingen förmodar jag är original 4:56 eller högre, vore trevligt med lite lägre typ 4:10 eller nått för att spara lite på motorns varv. Det var skönt att det var en tryckskada och inte rost, tyckte det var konstigt på bilden för man kan ju inte se någon direkt rost någon stans. Finns det möjlighet att se bilderna på renoveringen, det skulle jag uppskatta. Jag är inte med i budgivningen nu, tycker det är bättre att hoppa in i slutet. Kommer jag på någon mer fråga återkommer jag. Anders
