This car comes as a tip from Zach who writes: The RazzleDazzle paint theme is surprisingly not too bad. Will certainly go for more than the 5k start, but would be a fun DT. Yes, the razzle dazzle is something special, but I’d daily drive that! Find this 1967 Volvo Amazon 123GT bidding for $5900 […]
The Amazon (called the 120-series outside of Sweden) is a 50’s styled classic Volvo that makes a compelling case for a starter classic due to its simple ruggedness and basic reliability. Today’s example has ditched the simple B-series 4-cylinder for a small block Chevy V8 mated to a TH350 slushbox…which is the basic formula for every hot rod ever built, but gets the job done. Find this 1968 Volvo 122 Amazon bidding for $3050 in Bradenton, FL via eBay.
This next car comes as a tip from Zach Z who writes: Actually doesn’t look awful, but the lack of underside photos make harder to judge. The available M41 OD transmission is welcome, though a bit more work to convert – good discussion here and here . If it’s just the floors and the engine is […]

Anyway, time to make things right with this 1968 Volvo 122 Wagon offered for $1000 near Seattle, WA via craigslist. Tip […]

The Volvo Amazon (called the 120 series outside of Sweden due a complicated lawsuit involving a German company with the rights to the name Amason) was the more practical, more upright but still cool older sibling of the P1800 sports car, to which it donated its engine, transmission, and suspension options. For decades the Amazon […]
I may have been spending too much time with CFlo, because I am starting to appreciate (and like) classic Volvos like the 122/122S/Amazon. The simple truth is that these funky little Swedish sedans are cheap to buy, drive, and maintain. What else can you ask for in a classic? Find this 1967 Volvo 122S Amazon […]
It is Thorsday — time for something Scandinavian — how about a Volvo 122 Amazon that looks like it has scabies needs some attention? The Amazon (or 120 series as it was known at home) was designed by Volvo designer Jan Wilsgaard, who was inspired by 1950s American cars when he designed the shape of […]
This next car was purchased by the seller as a daily driver for his/her daughter thinking it would be a good car for her to “tinker on”…but presumably they remember that millennials don’t work on cars or even own/drive them and now they are selling to car to get her an Uber gift card [ed […]
The Volvo Amazon (called the 120 series outside of Sweden) was the more practical, more upright but still cool older sibling of the P1800 sporty car, to which it donated its engine, transmission, and suspension options. The Amazon (originally Amason) was designed all the way back in the early 50’s, started rolling out of the […]
