⚙️ Performance & Mechanical
This 1968 Volvo 122S Amazon benefits from a rebuilt engine bored to B20 specifications, offering enhanced performance and reliability while retaining the car’s vintage character. Power is delivered through a M41 four-speed manual transmission with electric overdrive, providing smooth highway cruising and a more modern driving experience.
The mechanical restoration was performed to a high standard, ensuring the car drives as beautifully as it looks, with proper attention paid to engine components, drivetrain, and suspension.
🧰 Restoration & Exterior
A bare-shell repaint was completed during the restoration, resulting in a crisp, high-quality finish throughout. All exterior trim and brightwork were refurbished or replaced, presenting as-new fit and finish. The car has spent its life in California, contributing to its solid, rust-free structure — a rarity among vintage Volvos.
🪑 Interior & Features
The cabin underwent a full interior overhaul, including refurbished upholstery, fresh carpeting, and restored dash trim. The result is a clean, factory-correct interior that captures the simple yet elegant Scandinavian design language Volvo was known for in the 1960s.
Factory owner’s manuals and detailed restoration documentation are included, supporting the thorough care and investment that went into bringing this classic back to life.
🏆 Summary
This 1968 Volvo 122S Amazon represents a thoughtfully restored and well-preserved example of one of Volvo’s most iconic models. With its rebuilt, B20-spec engine, M41 overdrive transmission, bare-metal repaint, and California provenance, it offers the perfect blend of originality, reliability, and driving enjoyment. A superb choice for collectors or enthusiasts seeking a vintage European classic that’s equally at home on the road or at shows.
