Product Information

Specifications

  • Model: 1967 Volvo 122S
  • Body Style: 2dr Sedan
  • Engine: 4-cyl. 1778cc/95hp 2x1bbl SU

Description

Enthusiasts who immediately imagine boxy 1970s designs when they
hear the name Volvo might be surprised to learn upon first look
that the 122 is in fact a Volvo design. The car, otherwise known as
the Amazon, has a rather pleasing and rounded look to it not unlike
some American cars of the early 1950s. There is even something
vaguely Italianate about the car’s front, looking not unlike an
Alfa Romeo sedan of the 1950s.

Available body-styles consisted of a two-door sedan, a four-door
sedan, and a wagon. The most interesting variant is the rare 123GT.
And while most credit BMW with the invention of the sport sedan,
the 123GT of 1967 pre-dated the Bimmer. Unlike most manufacturers
of the day, Volvo actually paid some attention to rust-proofing,
although cars in the salt-belt hardly proved immune to the tin
worm. Amazons have reasonable parts availability, though mechanical
bits are far easier to source than trim, and they are durable and
entertaining entry-level classics.

Model description

Enthusiasts who immediately imagine boxy 1970s designs when they hear the name “Volvo” might be surprised to learn upon first look that the 122 is in fact a Volvo design. The car, otherwise known as the Amazon, has a rather pleasing and rounded look to it not unlike some American cars of the early 1950s. There is even something vaguely Italianate about the car’s front, looking not unlike an Alfa Romeo sedan of the 1950s.
Production on the Amazon commenced in Sweden in 1956 in tandem with the elderly PV544, but the car didn’t make it to American shores until late 1959. The 122 was a considerable advance over the 544 with far greater interior room and better outward visibility. The B18 and later B20 engines, while not powerhouse, were bulletproof and able to easily travel hundreds of thousands of miles without a rebuild. A three-speed and a four-speed manual transmission with optional overdrive were available along with an automatic transmission, and the car’s base price was $2,795.

Vehicle’s condition classification

1. Concours

1 vehicles are the best in the world. Imagine the best vehicle, in the right

colors, driving onto the lawn at the finest concours. Perfectly clean, the vehicle has been groomed down to the tire treads. Painted and chromed surfaces are mirror-like. Dust and dirt are banned, and materials used are correct and superbly fitted.

2. Excellent

2 vehicles could win a local or regional show. They might even be former #1

vehicles that have been driven or have aged. Seasoned observers will have to look closely for flaws but will be able to find some. The paint, chrome, glass and finishes will all appear as excellent. The vehicle drives as a new vehicle of its era would.

3. Good

3 vehicles drive and run well but are not used for daily transportation. The

casual passerby will not find any visual flaws, but these vehicles might have some incorrect parts. #3 vehicles could possess some, but not all, of the issues of a #4 vehicle, but they will be balanced by other factors such as fresh paint or a new, correct interior.

4. Fair

4 vehicles are daily drivers, with flaws visible to the naked eye. The chrome

might have pitting, the windshield might be chipped and perhaps the body has a minor dent. Imperfect paintwork, split seams or a cracked dash might be present. No major parts are missing, but there might be non-stock additions. A

4 vehicle can also be a deteriorated restoration.
