The Volvo Rescue buys a 1967 122s Amazon - Episode 1

[@LoveSwedishGirls]

They are amazing to watch KZbin clips from the United States and see where people admire Volvo as much as they do at home in Sweden. Greetings from a Volvo fan from Sweden

[@hikeshi31]

i really enjoy to watch your Video and Epsode I have Volvo 240 1992 since I came to USA I had Volvo 122 P1800 240(stick sift) 240 (Auto) 850 so many Volvo life , Now I only have 240 at my house and try to repair myself Thank you for your showing all detail about Volvo Love Volvo

[@jasonfifi]

I really loved my 66 122s estate, the b18 and 4 speed were a bit sluggish, but the brakes were worse, so it was fast enough as it was.

[@Peter-if8nb]

fun. Nice to find some inspiration, a have a 67 2-door pile of rust sitting that I am about to introduce to the weld! 👍👍👍👍

[@DavidBello]

good luck!

[@Dannnehotmail]

Do you call that alot of rust? You should see the Amazon's here in Sweden!

[@RobertDIY]

Awesome!

[@tonys9003]

This one will probably be as cool as the 4 door. But loose that stinking MB diesel. restore the volvo engine instead. Keep up the good work.

[@DavidBello]

We already have a b18 to enjoy in Arthur. We're itching to do something different ☺

[@danstenberg760]

As a Swede we in Sweden or Mechanics in Sweden to put it right allways say that Volvo modell is so Easy to repair or adjust the motor because there sure is plenty of rooms for hands and elbows around the motor because it's such a small motor :) Ill hope it all went well with your Volvo project :) BTW in Sweden when you repair the right word for it is "Mekka med bilden " Mekka with the Car " Mekka from mechanic has nothing to do with the place Mecca

[@stephaanl7909]

So happy you're back restoring another Amazon! But like a previous poster said, skip the MB! Get a nice 850 T5R engine instead, much more fun! :D

[@DavidBello]

That would be pretty fun, but Volvo Specialists in Denver are already putting a white block in their p1800, so we're going a unique route

[@paganpro]

The Volvo Amazons are more and more scarce, even here in Sweden. Remenber only 667.000 were built during it´s 14 production year. With that said it´s fantastic to see that most parts are remanufactured today.Try to find a decent object before you start the renovation The motor is widely known to last "forever" and the classic quality reputation is well earned-

[@MrLieven7]

nice ! thats what i was hoping for, i was already missing the previous series :)

[@powerspower8224]

its was fun watching this video when myself have a volvo amazon that i restored too.

[@atreyu558855]

it looks crazy good in nick tough! leave a car int he grass here in sweden for ten years. hell even two years and it would be so much worse! awesome find!

[@danielb7632]

The garage i work at in the netherlands has a 1964 amazon 2 door and im planning to buy it. It has set there for 13 years and the only problem is clining it. The original engine is still in it. I dont know if it runs but thats no problem. The original interieur is stil in it it only needs some clining.

[@jodasaattsaga5251]

Im swedish so im happy to see some americans That like Volvo too

[@theskateboard98]

Same here too bad the Amazon wagons are hard to find in good nice in Sweden...

[@789costela]

ja &så ! :)

[@Hadifishfish]

keep up the gooood work. nice start of a new series :D

[@PiotrTester]

[@joshuaskrip5353]

I just got a four door 1969 122s with the exact same color! Any tips on the restoration?

[@davidbarlow350]

When was the last time the posh boy Ferrari owner(who,undoubtedly thinks himself a proper classic car enthusiast)got himself muddy,or even took spanners to his ride? As a proper enthusiast i'm restoring (or putting together about 50,000 bits of scrap metal) my Volvo Amazon. Nice to see a video of grass-roots restoring,although having IPD on board must help a little! A diesel engine,what were you thinking!!

[@andxx0r_the_second671]

I just left a deposit on a CHERRY rust-free 122 sedan. 1965, w/ a 4-speed. I'm really excited to pick it up monday :D My 4th Volvo.

[@DavidBello]

So how is your volvo now?

[@andxx0r_the_second671]

David Bello oh, forgot I had even left a comment on this video. Great! It's been my daily driver all summer. Apart from me accidentally breaking the heater valve, not a single problem. Maybe I should make a short video and post it to my channel.

[@bogdanrzeznik627]

Why I only found it just now is beyond me. It combines my two loves: Lolvos and MB diesels, even so i would love to use newer diesel, but yeah, as I'm in Europe I bought V70 with D5 for some changes I found under sofa pillow.

[@anders2772]

Most robust? The record belongs to a 1966 Volvo B18b which has over 3 million miles on 1 rebuild and maintence after Volvo's recommendations and the right type of oil for it. The owner of the 1966 Volvo 1800s Irv has passed on but his Volvo is still running in his family.

[@closingtime]

Hats off to Tabby and her thigh gap!

[@DavidBello]

we shared a laugh. thank you

[@emilranes298]

Ahh

[@kanzler449]

Did anyone else notice the video was 7:40 minutes long?! hint: (Volvo 740)

[@DavidBello]

good catch! I do that all the time with numbers and volvos. I live off freeway exit 240 and 242.

[@kanzler449]

+David Bello nice! hahah, I'm planning on rescuing a Volvo 740 with a seized engine. hope to get involved with ipd as well. Good job on the video too, wish you all the best in your restorations!

[@DavidBello]

Be careful of the fibreglass radiator cover on those. It's caused me many frustrated itchy arms.

[@DavidBello]

And thanks for your comment and watching :)

[@kanzler449]

+David Bello hahaha yes I have experienced that with my 850 and it drove me crazy! but thanks for the concern!

[@janchlebek9084]

I have a 1968 Volvo Wagon...The engine is from Vintage Volvo Racing Co...with inlt 100 miles on it. I believe it's a B20. Lost a tooth gear wise in think it was 2nd...Trying to get on the road or sell. Any comments...

[@noribswe9009]

An Amazon wagon is rare but an S is even more rare, I mean hell, that's rare even for us swedes!

[@DavidBello]

Every Amazon I've seen in the USA is badged with an S. I'm not sure if it's a standard badging for the north American market

[@noribswe9009]

Holy crap you replied! :O Well atleast in sweden the S badge stands for Sport, did the Amazon have dual SU carbs on it? Because that's an easy way to figure out if it's an actual sport or if it's just another branding.

[@DavidBello]

Of course I replied! All Amazon's here come with dual SU carbs unless converted aftermarket with a Weber.

[@noribswe9009]

God bless America!

[@ricky107_]

1:41 I thought dang that one dude will drag them right out but no tractor

[@FrapsGamer13]

That thing probably still runs too if you use some start gas

[@enriquelopez9124]

Glad to see annother Volvo Amazon, in this case a wagon, has been rescued, but if your thinking of putting a diesel in it, they have diesel engines, for example, the 240 diesel, the 740/760,turbo diesel, or the later series, keep it all volvo, the Mercedes Benz are good cars, but that combination doesn*t quite go together, sicerely would you put a volvo engine in a Mercedes Benz, how about putting a Ford 302,V8 engine , which some people have done, less expensive, parts available, not like the Mercedes Benz engine, which I believe, is around maybe , approximate $ 15,000 dollars, if the transmission is anywhere arround$7,000-10,000 then you would have to get the wiring to see if it*s compatible.

[@MrBodo1999]

How the hell do you find a Volvo in the woods?! All I ever encounter are ticks and ignorant mountainbikers

[@Darnihx]

My mate recently showed me a Volvo Duett he found in a forest

[@rasmusx15]

Whats the name of the classic/blues song you use? It's so cathy!

[@DavidBello]

rasmusx15 Tuxedo Junction!

[@OliverMilano]

So, what happened to Shelby? Since then you had other projects started, but where did Shelby go?

[@timothymallon]

Would someone PLEASE explain how it is that Volvo never rusts? If I read one more forum claiming that its simply because Volvo owners clean and care for their cars, I will refer them to this video.

[@DavidBello]

Timothy Mallon that's exactly it. nobody cleaned or cared for this one in the woods, so it rusted.

[@timothymallon]

Very little of the actual body is rusted. I'm not counting the wheel wells or the floor boards here. Ive never seen any car that can withstand decades of sitting. What I am talking about is the body! It's covered in moss but not rust

[@DavidBello]

Watch episode 6

[@timothymallon]

I understand what you are saying but I am not talking about the floorboards and undercarriage. Any car sitting on the ground for decades will rot underneath like this one did. What I am talking about is body panels. Fenders, hood, roof, rockers, etc. For a 1967 car, sitting in the woods, even though it is completely covered in moss, I find it odd how Volvo body panels seem to lack rust. I've seen a lot of Volvo's up north, living in upstate New York and unless you're totally abusing the car, they never seem to rot out. What does Volvo do to their bodies that prevents rust? They MUST be doing something with them. Compare ANY Volvo to any American made car...heck any other car not made of fiberglass.

[@DavidBello]

Timothy Mallon truly, I do not have much to reference outside of classic bricks. quality paint and underlining? Swedish steel?

[@brendank9937]

Funny how I named my 144s Shelby... Before I saw thus haha

[@angaugaming6431]

Diesel? seriously? wtf...

[@maverick0shadow]

I recently picked up a rusty 2dr 122. Fixable, but not worthy of a restore. and with a rusted out 240d with an om616 na out back,.. To think I thought I was the only one with this idea. Silly me. Don't worry though,..even if I do get it on the road,.. You'll still hold the "T" title.

[@DavidBello]

Your comment didn't complete; I'm curious to know what you were going to say

[@danstenberg760]

The reson why the old Volvos in Sweden rust has to do with snow ans Ice and we juse salt for making the roads not so slippery or "Halka " as we say in Sweden Salt or sand against Halka or ICE on roads

[@dee106ful]

Merc engine in a volvo.....why. so many better choices. I would have supercharged the original b series engine.

[@kaiserkarl2]

Everything but original i a shame, dont destroy her, there arent many left...

[@brandonkeller3896]

Farm

[@dibble419]

But it is not going to have a Volvo engine. The Amazon engine will last as long as any MB engine. See Irv Gordon's P1800 (New York), now at 3 million miles!

[@DavidBello]

Robert, We already have a restored Amazon with the B18 to enjoy. This time we're doing something different and fun.

[@dibble419]

At least you are saving another Amazon.Well done.

[@vegarstuen190]

It has gone through some engine changes if I remember correcty..

[@gosportjamie]

If all else fails, TRACTOR. Shame it wasn't a Volvo tractor...

[@gamestudio02]

Intro song?

[@DavidBello]

Iggy Azalea "fancy" instrumental

[@Bassplayer_in_Time]

Ehh?! 122? This model is 220... P 120 (4 doors) P 130 (2 doors) P 220 (station wagon) I have three........ ;)

[@DavidBello]

In the states they're all 122s models. And it helps the search function

[@christerolsson4020]

+David Bello P120, P130 and P220 is the internal volvo names for the different models and not the sale name.

[@brunovieira1010]

this cars dont exist anymore.. why put a mercedes engine?? should be the original!!

[@rasmushjamlarsson3407]

YOU CANT PUTT A FUCKING DIESEL IN A VOLVO AMAZON!!!?!!?! WTF!?!??! That B18 can make a amazing engine and it will never break if you take acre of it!! DONT MIX MERCEDES WITH VOLVO! JUST. DONT.

[@DavidBello]

but we can. the MBA engine is also bulletproof.

[@rasmushjamlarsson3407]

´......

[@rasmushjamlarsson3407]

a well its good that you take care of the old Volvo at least :)

[@khaotikdesirez]

@@DavidBello Whatever happened with this build?

[@thinkagain9457]

Shit music to start with. Other music is fine but not needed and a bit annoying, can't hear the rest.
