 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.

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.

Volvo bringing Chinese-built cars to America beginning next year

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Just because the penetration of the American automotive market by Chinese brands hasn't quite happened yet doesn't mean that Chinese-built cars are far off. According to a new report, we could very soon see long-wheelbase Volvo S60s that were assembled in the People's Republic arriving on US shores.
The report comes from Automotive News China, which cites an anonymous Volvo exec. An official Volvo spokesperson later corroborated ANC's report, although where the original source claimed that we could see the Chinese-built S60L in US dealers at some point in 2015, the company line was that a timeline hadn't been established to begin exports from the world's most populous nation.
According to Volvo, the benefit to exporting from China to the United States rather than from Sweden is the relationship between the US dollar and the Chinese yuan. Overall, it's a less tumultuous issue than the dollar-to-euro situation. By moving vehicles from China to the US, the Chinese-owned company is limiting the degree of risk it's taking with sudden currency swings.

Volvo building new AstaZero safety proving ground in Sweden

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

Volvo is an automaker committed to vehicle safety, setting an ambitious target for itself: by 2020, the Swedish automaker envisions that no one will be killed or seriously injured in one of its cars. In order to achieve that goal, Volvo has announced a new proving ground designed specifically to test safety solutions.
Called AstaZero, the new facility near the company's headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden, is the result of a $70 million investment. It will cover some 500 acres, with over 60 acres of pavement, four city blocks and three and a half miles of highway. The Active Safety Test Area (the ASTA in AstaZero) will enable Volvo and its partners (including Scania trucks as well as government bodies and university development programs) to simulate city streets, highways, rural roads, roundabouts, T-junctions and more, combining traffic from cars, pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, buses, trucks and even animals in order to account for all manner of potential hazards.
The facility will enable Volvo to test active safety systems and autonomous vehicle operations, and even allow robots to test its prototypes in an adaptive environment that aims to be more flexible than existing proving grounds.

Volvo updates Inscription packages for 2015 XC60, S80

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

Volvo is improving the luxury offered by the XC60 and S80 with upgrades to both models' Inscription packages for 2015. It is also making all of its models (other than the soon-to-be-replaced XC90) available with its new Drive-E engine family and Sensus infotainment system.
The Inscription package was previously available on both the XC60 and S80, but new upgrades include Sovereign Hide leather throughout their interiors, including on their instrument panels, seatbacks, center armrests and headrests. Inscription also adds wood inlaid trim and new floor mats. On the outside, the package is offered in Crystal White Pearl, Electric Silver and - exclusively for the S80 - Ember Black. The XC60 comes with 20-inch, ten-spoke wheels, and the S80 receives 19-inch wheels of the same design.
As part of its sponsorship of a yacht race, Volvo is also bringing the XC60 Ocean Race Edition to the US. Buyers will get their choice of black or blonde leather seats with orange stitching, a map of the race route on the rear load cover and the event's logo around the car.
