Basic Information & Background
Completely renovated and custom-built Volvo Amazon Herrgårdswagon in a really nice dark grey/red color combo with a nice history and sold in Sweden. Both rewritten and award-winning construction in absolute top class!
The Amazon estate wagon was a medium-sized car that Volvo produced from 1956 to 1970. The car model went by the name 120 abroad when the name Amason 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 fitted as standard with front seat belts and later models had 3 point belts fitted as standard. Volvo produced the manor wagon from 1962 to 1969 in 73,220 copies where 60% of all cars were exported.
This example was sold new in Sweden and has had 10 actual users where the seller has had it since 2013. The car has driven about 1000 miles after the renovation and is still in top condition.
Condition
Exterior: Despite the fact that the car has been used extensively after the renovation, it has been well taken care of, which you can see from the condition. The chrome is still in very good condition, as is the paint, which is in show condition. The car was built/renovated around 2010 for 2.5 years by the previous owner and hardly a screw has been left untouched. There are no remarks on glass parts, chrome, moldings or emblems. The Foose Legend 18" wheels are as nice as the rest of the car and the tires have about 7mm of tread left. For more info on exact condition, see our detailed photos in the album and feel free to ask questions in the comment field!
Interior: The stunning lipstick red interior is also in very nice condition with minimal signs of wear. The interior was renovated by the previous owner in conjunction with the rest of the car. The Recaro seats are in very good condition with very little wear, likewise the Grant steering wheel and dashboard and all controls/gauges were in working condition at the time of the photograph. For more info on exact condition, see our detailed photos in the album and feel free to ask questions in the comments!
Mechanical: Inspected in June 2017 without remarks and is now both tax and inspection exempt. Engine and box are, as previously mentioned, fully renovated and inspected by previous owners and are in absolute top class. The beautiful singing B20 engine is braked to 199.6hp and recognized Lindqvist Racing have been involved in the build. The gearbox is an M41 and the ratio has been changed to 4.1:1 from the sedan model. Service has been carried out after each season and all brakes are in very good condition. The mileage is about 4040 miles, but cannot be guaranteed and is sold as "TMU" (True mileage unknown).
Summary
A fantastically beautiful and custom-built example of a classic Swedish icon that both runs and looks as it should! These models have had a very positive price picture and fine examples like this always have, and will always be sought after on the market.

Kan vi ha en video om cold start och hur bilen rullar etc?
Vi ordnar de under dagen
Hi Hguv65 Good morning Verical has Air-conditioning ? Km per litre ?
Hej, nej ingen luftkonditionering aldrig kollat förbrukningen eftersom varje km/mil är ren glädje
Kan ni skicka en film på bilen och zooma in lackskadorna .Kallstarta motorn och visa motorljud . Hur kan leverans av bilen ske till Stockholmsområde.
Finns inga lackskador att zooma in. De ordnas med video klipp under dagen. Hjälp Stockholmsområde 😜 nä skämt å sidor så är biltransport ex Norléns Transport Uppsala ett bra alternativ men de får köparen bestämma o bekosta själv.Anlitade dom när den kom upp till Luleå 27/12-12 Är inte på plats nu men har några klipp som Bidders Highway kommer att förmedla.
Hej, Jag köpte tidigare en röd Amazon kombi här., jag har kvar den och vill nog göra så men blev intresserad av din med. Fanns det någon video som efterfrågades tidigare här. Nästa fråga. Varför borrades den inte till 2,2L när den är på så hög effekt som nästan 200 hkr, bara en fråga. Fantastisk bil, även som min röda. Men varför inte ha en till dottern med. Du får gärna ringa mig. Anders
Hej Anders Motorn är byggd av två riktigt duktiga Volvo killar var av den ena var Stefan Lindqvist med firma Lindqvist Racing som tyvärr gick bort 2011. Så borrad 92mm 2,1l var nog en fråga om driftsäkerhet. Du har helt rätt en fantastisk bil rakt igenom. Finns video på uppstart o rastning Men de måste Bidders Highway förmedla. Klart dottern ska ha en grafitgrå Hgv-65
Ni som velat ha filmklipp har de skickats er?
Hej igen, Nej jag tror inte någon fått det, det var därför jag undrade lite. Tack för din övriga info. Denna bil "får inte gå utomlands" enl min tanke. Nu blir säkert många irriterade, men så tänker jag. Anders
Anders igen, Jag vet hur dom här motorerna ska låta vid vissa effekter och borrningar, då min är på 2,2L med 45 or. Vi fortsätter vår konversation. Anders
Klipp har skickats via email till de intresserade men verkar inte ha kommit fram, har lagt upp klippen på youtube åt säljaren istället så följ denna länk för de som är intresserade! https://youtu.be/eyvkagxNcKs
Hur gör jag för att förmedla ett telefonnummer?
