Really like how you went through the details of the suspension install and keeping it stock! Very valuable info. Thanks!

[@llamamanism]

Thanks Ant, finally I understand what a panhard rod does

[@stephenburnage7687]

I have a 1967 version. Perfect condition, all original and no rust! Fifty years old and it drives and handles like a modern car. Love it!

[@CVLova]

i would love to own one :D i have had 2 940 station wagons :D

My first job was working bar in the late 1960's and my boss had an Amazon 123GT. He was the sort of guy who shouldn't have run a bar as he would drink all the profits. During the evening, as he got progressively more drunk, he would brag about his Amazon and challenge any one listening to a road race. Thankfully most customers were too sensible to listen but over the course of a year or so, probably half a dozen accepted. Needless say, my boss in his Amazon won every time. Moreover, several of the customers never made it back, rolling over on some of the tight bends. Totally stupid and irresponsible behavior, of course, but it endeared me to the Amazon, which is why I drive one today.

Haha awesome story mate, one hell of a car you have. Is my favourite Volvo.

[@volvoenthusiastsgroup3386]

The 122 Amazon is still on my bucket list!

[@klerkan]

My first car i drove, back here in Sweden :)

[@thomasteigen2793]

I just love this. There is nothing like old volvos

[@TTURBOVOLVO]

I did this a couple of months ago to my 740, completely transformed it. For everyone thinking about it, just do it.

[@user-nw7ow1ei1q]

Ant does a great job with this video.

[@rabaham]

Beautiful car and good work. I enjoyed your video. I come from a family of Volvo's and currently restoring a 1971 P1800.

the danish queen got an Amazon for her 18th birthday in 1958 as her 1st car

I am 75 now and want to cry when I see a Volvo 122. I purchased a new 1966 Volvo 122S on January 23, 1966 at age 19. Purchase price including 2% New York State sales tax $2,652.00. It was replacing my 1957 444PV i had purchased for $300 a year earlier. Unfortunately I received a draft notice in December 1966 and headed off to basic January 4, 1967. I sold the Volvo before departing. A sad day. I figured I would be unable to afford the $80 monthly payments. I was wrong. The military pay was lousy but there were few places to spend money in the jungles of Vietnam. I eventually purchased new Volvos. 1976, 1979 & 1982. I found them to be too pricey as the years have rolled on. We rented a new XC90 in Sweden 2 summers ago. It was great for the first hour until the power steering pump crapped out. Hertz replaced it with a new XC60 Thanks for the video.. Oh yes. When I purchased the new Volvo in 1966 my friends owned GTOs, Olds 442s, Corvettes and 427 Fords. They mocked me... I was a trend setter. Screw them.

[@Car_and_classic_lover]

Great story, nice to here what it was like buying and enjoying one new!👍

[@matsmoden7943]

so true ! best car ever buildt!

[@matsmoden7943]

[@FhVW]

I'm really curious with what type of primer and paint Ant restores the old rusty parts. I have had so many helpful adives, but after picking a epoxy rust converter people told me it will rust within no-time. So some advice would be super super helpful.

[@karimlamaddeb7432]

Bravissimo

[@EnriqueLopez-hb5jn]

The Amazon is still one of the strongcars,tanks in today's world, the B18,B20,is indestructible, it is used in the 140 series,.and I.believethe early 200series.

[@yves2348]

[@LeandroSouza-op5fq]

[@cristhianflores2000]

[@brianmuzny518]

How do you know you can reuse the springs? Is there a measurement that tells me the springs are "in spec" or not?

[@bjornnilsson9875]

Love and it a 4 doors

[@seymourskinner2533]

Maybe retitle? Not really about cleaning and painting parts.

[@DeputyNordburg]

Yes, I was shocked and offended.

[@sigma_kappa]

Gorgeous car gorgeous girls 😍

[@kjellringstrom6217]

6500 is a very good deal on a Amazon in that shape.

[@piggybakkers]

Please tell me what if anything Brewer brings to this?

[@calibrazxr750]

He does the introduction, the searching and buying of the cars and then the selling of them. he also sources parts and occasionally gets involved here and there with some parts restoration, insomuch as he has a go at the odd job when he takes some parts to specialist repair shops. Oh, and the original idea for the program and its format was essentially his and he was instrumental in its early success with his efforts behind the scenes.

[@user-bg4hg1vs3o]

Volvos rule I love Volvos. Much faster than boring Honda Civic I own now.

What happened to oiling/greasing new metal parts and giving rubber parts a bit of silicone oil before installation? It looks great with new parts installed, but what about 5 years from now? Eg.: While driving, the sway bar moves in its rubber bushings. A bit of silicone oil would prevent friction from degrading the rubber bushing and prevent the paint on the sway bar to be rubbed off. No paint = rust. Think ahead, please.

[@TheTomco11]

I thought you only greased polyurethane. rubber bushes aren't meant to move within the metal unlike poly bushes

[@DURAK69]

Volvo Amazon 68 är bäst bil alla sätt En som är med bra Är volvo 940 det är väldens bästa bil alla katerkurier Peugeot 404 var bra bil sen finns bara skitt bilar

[@davidcasling6499]

Still got that stupid grin .

[@taipoio1]

OLD AAAAT URRR AND !!! ct

[@motoflyte]

That rattle can paint is just going to flake off in a few weeks

[@calibrazxr750]

That depends on the prep work involved and how many coats and whether or not clear lacquer was used ect, ect. just because none of that was shown here, it doesn't mean it didn't happen. I spray pained many of my Spitfire's suspension parts and also painted some with Hammerite and a brush. that was over 11 years ago and it is all still holding up very well.

[@steveennever9905]

Just $6500 bucks. Wow, no appreciation for the work done, or the car.

[@stephenburnage7687]

I would have snapped it up at that price. Paid a lot more for mine.

[@Tomaluck]

Very atractive buyers and price

[@davidcasling6499]

American kind of show has ruined it

[@calibrazxr750]

not in the eyes of everyone.
