 I have a 1967 Volvo 122 S Amzon for sale.One of the coolest cars volvo ever made in my opinion.
These cars rarely come up for sale and specially in this condition.
 This volvo is a dry california car that spent most of its life in the garage.Owned and cared for by a true volvo enthusiast.
This Volvo was originally an automatic.
This volvo was literally saved from the crusher.It ended up at the junkyard because of the bad automatic transmission.
But this was a great opportunity to swap a 4 speed manual transmission and to save such a rare and iconic car.

Lets see what sets this car apart from the rest.
 First of all its a very unique color ,#91 which is the light green.

Te body is very clean and straight with absolutely no rust or accidents of any kind.It has one repaint done in the 80's and it looks superb with the right amount of patina.
The chrome and stainless shines nice.All original windows all around.
 Rare roof rack option from factory and neat rubber steps on the rear bumper to access the roof rack.
Rare set of belgian made 7" Cibie lamps add character to this swedish machinery.
 All the doors close nicely with even gaps.
Cool talbot style fender mounted mirrors
New sylvania Halogen headlights
No rust anywhere.Clean rocker covers,solid floors and frame rails still wearing the original factory undercoating.
 Floorboards inside the car still wear the original paint.
Spare and trunk area are exceptionally clean.Please note on some of the interior pictures what looks like surface rust its in fact glue used to glue down the carpet.

The mechanicals are rock solid and have plenty of upgrades.
The odometer shows 17k miles but im pretty sure its 117k since they roll over at 100k miles.
 It has a B20 motor with a 4 speed manual M40 gearbox.
The motor runs strong,no smoke or leak of any kind.
The transmission shifts very smoothly,can be operated with literally 2 fingers.
 Recently upgraded with new Mikuni side draft carbs and performance K&N air filters
Electronic ignition
New alternator upgrade
New battery
New exhaust piping,silencer and muffler.
Clutch is fairly new and works great.Just installed a new clutch slave cylinder as well.
Disc brakes in the front(same as the one on the P1800) and drums in the rear works good.
Steering box was serviced and its tight.
All the lights work.
 Original wheels with hubcaps.
Tires are almost brand new with only a few hundred miles on them.
Kyb shocks with upgraded rear sway bar

 The interior is in great shape and very original.
The carpet has been changed and its in good condition.
 The dash cap was redone and looks amazing.
The seats and the door cards are factory original mint green in excellent shape.
 Driver seat has a seam split but its an easy fix.The vinyl is soft and not faded at all.
The headliner is also original in great shape.It does have 2 small rips by the cargo area.But its tight and it does not sag.
All the gauges work,including the speed and odometer.
 All the ligths work,heater and windshield wiper works as well.
 Still has the original am volvo radio,however an aftermarket kenwood unit was installed under the dash,it has ipod connectivity.
The cargo area is very clean.Inside the spare tire well we find the original spare,original floor jack and the original toolkit!They all look like they just left the factory.
 Rear hatch shock was changed and stays up.

Facts:
Overall this is a very well preserved volvo.Drive it  daily or just in the weekends.This volvo can do it all.

On Jan-05-14 at 10:14:08 PST, seller added the following information:

 I would like to add a couple more things about the car.
 Id like to make a correction that the car is equipped with an M41 transmission which means that it has an electric over drive and it works.
I just found out this valuable information from the previous owner.
 Also a couple of upgrades/safety features that I havent mentioned before.
The car has been converted to dual-circuit brakes and a breakaway steering column as well.
Thank you for all the interest and compliments so far.

With this mechanical setup this car could be the unofficial 123GT Amazon Station wagon.

Just a thought.

Renault Scenic EV takes first place as (European) Car of the Year

Mon, Feb 26 2024

The automobile awards season may not be over, but two of the more prestigious annual races came closer to a climax this week. One might need a scorecard to keep track. We’re focused here on two events: the World Car of 2024, now reduced to three finalists in six categories. Then thereÂ’s the Car of the Year, known in some quarters as the European Car of the Year. Except that the car doesnÂ’t have to be European to win, only sold there. Got that? Winners out of the way first: At the Geneva Motor Show on Monday, the Renault Scenic E-Tech all-electric has been voted Car of the Year 2024. The Scenic is a fairly compact, somewhat stylish SUV for Europe only, and is the seventh vehicle from the French brand to win the award. It sells in the United Kingdom for about $47,500. The other six finalists that had made the first cut of voting in November were the BMW 5 Series, BYD Seal, Kia EV9, Peugeot E-3008/3008, Toyota C-HR, and Volvo EX30. The trophy winner was chosen by a jury of 59 motoring journalists from 22 countries. Scenic came in first place with 329 points. The Seal was the first Chinese-made car to make this awardÂ’s shortlist; it finished sixth out of seven, just up from the Toyota. One judge explained his decision to grant the Seal zero votes. Writing in Top Gear, Paul Horrell wrote this entertaining critique: “It looks good and is well specified, so makes a strong market entry. The advanced electric system and cobalt-free battery are commendable too, and it's enjoyable enough to drive quickly. That's undermined by an agitated ride over bumps, and the logic of screens and switches is pretty eccentric.” Recapping the World Car of the Year 2024 update, the sponsors shared the stage at Geneva on Monday with the Europeans as well, although they revealed only the top three finalists in six categories. For the ultimate prize, they are the Kia EV9, the Volvo EX30 and the BYD Seal. The winners will be announced March 27 at the New York International Auto Show. Here's more on the World Car finalists.

US could get Chinese Volvos soon, possibly Geely joint-venture subcompact?

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

After a little more than three years since Volvo was acquired by China's Geely, it was only a matter of time before products from this marriage started to show up in the US. Although nothing seems to be written in stone, Automotive News is reporting that the US could be getting Chinese-made Volvos sooner rather than later.
In speaking with AN, Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said that Chinese Volvos could be exported to the US "fairly quickly," and while there was no word on any specific models being considered, the article points out that the S60 (shown above) is already being produced locally in China at a Volvo plant. Another possibility is the next-gen V40, which has reportedly received plenty of support from US Volvo dealers. Regardless of which model it is, Samuelsson doesn't seem too worried about a "Made in China" car receiving a negative reaction by US consumers, pointing to all the other Chinese products sold here.
On a global scale, AN is also reporting that Geely is working on a new subcompact platform co-developed with Volvo to compete against cars like the Honda Fit, Ford Fiesta and VW Polo. There is no word as to whether or not this Geely-branded model would be coming to the US, but just last year, we heard that the Chinese automaker is looking to break into the US market by 2016.
