1964 Volvo 122S Amazon Coupe

Complete Rust-Free Restoration Upgraded 2.0L Engine M21 4-Speed with Electric Overdrive Beautifully Restored Throughout

The Volvo 122S, affectionately known around the world as the Amazon, has earned a reputation as one of the most durable, elegantly designed, and enjoyable sports sedans of the 1960s. Combining timeless Scandinavian styling with legendary reliability, the Amazon has become increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate craftsmanship, drivability, and understated design.

Offered here is a beautiful 1964 Volvo 122S Coupe that has benefited from a comprehensive restoration performed on an outstanding rust-free chassis. Finished in its original Soft White over a beautifully crafted red interior, this Amazon presents as a striking example that has clearly been restored with meticulous attention to authenticity while incorporating thoughtful mechanical upgrades that enhance the driving experience.

The car has been garage kept, carefully maintained, and remains an excellent representation of one of Volvos most beloved classics. The odometer currently indicates approximately 73,000 miles, though total chassis mileage is TMU (True Mileage Unknown) due to the restoration.

POWERTRAIN
Power comes from an upgraded 2.0-liter B20 inline-four, offering improved performance while retaining the character and simplicity that enthusiasts appreciate in the Volvo B-series engine family. Engine and drivetrain highlights include:

Weber Downdraft Carburetor

M21 Four Speed Manual Transmission

Electric Overdrive


For collectors seeking originality, the original dual SU carburetors and intake manifold accompany the vehicle, allowing a future owner the option of returning the induction system to factory specification.

CHASSIS
The suspension and chassis remain true to the cars original character while presenting beautifully throughout. Highlights include:


Wide Whitewall Radial Tires

Original Steel Wheels

The combination of whitewall tires and factory-style wheels perfectly complements the Amazons clean Scandinavian styling.

EXTERIOR
Finished in its original Soft White, the exterior was refinished as part of the restoration and exhibits outstanding fit and finish.

Restored Stainless Trim

Factory Bumper Guards

Excellent Glass Throughout


The understated elegance of the Amazons design remains one of its greatest strengths, and this example showcases those lines beautifully.
