This is a beautiful 1966 Volvo Amazon. The car has been fully restored in the recent past. The work was carried out very thoroughly and to a high standard. The car looks immaculate and is ready to provide many years of classic Volvo Amazon driving pleasure. The car has been owned by the previous owner since 1995, who also oversaw the restoration of the car and the overhaul of the mechanical systems. During the restoration, the car was completely stripped down to bare metal. Where necessary, the body panels were repaired, and the underside of the car was also completely stripped and later painted in the car’s original color. The car’s bodywork looks stunning as a result. The sheet metal is beautifully thin throughout, and the panel gaps are precise. All the trim pieces were replaced during the restoration, as were the window and door seals. The car was repainted in its original color. The dark blue paint is well applied and has a beautiful shine. The car sits on original steel wheels fitted with good tires in the correct sizes. The rims are fitted with attractive chrome hubcaps. The bumpers were re-chromed during the restoration, and the lighting also looks beautiful. The car’s interior was completely reupholstered during the restoration. The color scheme is a beautiful combination of black carpets and red upholstery on the seats and rear bench. The seats have also been reupholstered and not only look beautiful but are also very comfortable. The headliner is also in very good condition. The dashboard is a prime example of understated and functional Swedish design and houses clearly legible instruments. The instruments and controls all function as they should and look well-maintained. The Volvo is powered by the beloved B18 engine. The engine delivers 75 hp and is paired in this case with a four-speed manual transmission. Both the transmission and the engine were fully overhauled during the restoration and are therefore in good condition. The engine runs smoothly and propels the Volvo effortlessly. The transmission shifts precisely and features well-spaced gear ratios. The engine bay looks beautifully maintained and was also repainted during the restoration. The brakes and chassis have been completely renewed. For example, during the restoration, all control arms, the subframe, and the rear axle were either repainted or powder-coated. The shock absorbers were replaced during the restoration, and the exhaust system is also in very good condition. The restoration and overhaul were documented through an extensive photo series that comes with the car. In short, a beautiful Volvo Amazon Sedan to look at and a joy to drive. All the hard work has already been done for you, so we’re talking about turnkey Volvo Amazon driving pleasure.
