I've got a new job across the country and can't take this car with me.   I refuse to let this thing be scrapped, so I'm going to sell it at a loss so it lives on as someone else's project.

Here's the vitals:

  • 1965 Volvo 122S Amazon.  Unknown mileage, title long since lost to the ages.
  • Fort Worth, TX.  Rolls well, must be picked up no later than Mar. 14th.
  • Includes disassembled B18D, carbs, M40 transmission, and everything else I've taken off it.
  • Will throw in a B230F (from a '91 940 wagon) I was planning on swapping in.

Build Thread

I had the block cleaned up at a local machine shop.  There's still a little bit of build-up on Cyl. 2 that they claim they couldn't get off with a dingleberry hone, but I'm not convinced it can't be rebuilt as-is by someone more skilled.  They magnafluxed the block (no cracks) and did freeze plugs and oil galley plugs.

$500 cash, or trade for tools or anything else easy to move.

QQ. Ugh, been looking for a 2 door Amazon for awhile. Sadly, TX is too far for me even though you will only be one state away from me soon.

Oh boy. That's very local to me. I like quirky cars. Let me take a deep breath and read the build thread again.

Have you had any bites on this car? I know I shouldn't take on another project but i feel like this car could be pretty fun to get back on the road.

Thank God, I just got back from driving my excursion 40 hours to get my xjr. If I would've saw this the day it was posted I would've bought it!

Yep, in a weird Volvo-shaped circle, it's going back to the guy I bought it from!
