Volvo 164 - First start in 30 years

[@TheFlyingBusman]

“It’s cold and lashing it down, what shall we do today”? “Oh, we can go start that old Volvo. I was going to do it tomorrow but it’s going to be nice and sunny and I want to sit out with a beer not faff on with that old thing”! “Yeah ok”.

[@Adioss121]

No, its just raining everyday in Sweden

[@taxidude]

I had a loan of one of these for 3 weeks back in 1980. With its straight six 3 litre engine, automatic transmission and an interior akin to a Victorian gentleman’s club, it remains my favourite Volvo to this day and in the top 5 cars I have ever driven.

[@jimmybrouwer2744]

i fell in love with the sound the moment it started

[@BY504A]

It would be hard not to love one of the thin bumper 164 models as the front end is so elegant. Not many of the 164s here in the states were equipped with the fog lights, they just had covers over the openings. I would love to find a really nice 164 and make it a daily driver. Such a simple and robust design and added torque from the 6 cylinder engine makes it a joy to drive. Thanks for posting the video!

[@saab9000black]

Worth restoring for sure!

[@Barnacle825]

This video brought me back to 1975. It was in Indonesia and I was 7 yo when my dad owned this car. Thanks !

[@EnriqueLopez-hb5jn]

I sure hope that the 164, is/was restored, when that model came, it has certain elegance ,distinguished looking features that make it so unique to the 164, of course the 164, was replaced by the 240/26].model, what I could never figure out is why with the 260, they had put in a newer,slower 6cylinder engine,which resulted being terrible for the 260 model when they could have used the same 6 cylinder that is in the 164.

[@richardcrouse9074]

Zero smoke now that’s a Volvo

[@milanmihajlovic8569]

That model is actually finer than 240. Personally, I like Amazon and then 160 series.

[@jacobbelcher3512]

I have a 1983 240. It's a fantastic car, but I like the 160 series more. I like the Amazon more than the 160 and of course, the 1800 above all. I would love to get a 164, but they are so rare in the US. The 240 is still so popular that a guy at the Volvo dealership near me told me their biggest competition is their own model, the 240.

[@nigelcharlton-wright1747]

I can see that the designer of the 164 must have been inspired by the Vanden Plas 4 Litre R from the 1960's. The styling of the front end looks very similar to the British car.

[@KingCast65]

Yah they stole it. I'm 54. I remember. We always had 140 cos we didn't have enough money for a 160 or a Bavaria BMW

This may be Volvos best design ever. Not really sure what the plans are for the Volvo. When I go back over there I ask him, and shot another longer test run video. No oil/plugs change but needs to do for sure.

Volvo doesn't matter, my Fiat started the same way, sat only for 8 years but who cares, it could sit for 50 years just as well since it was garaged in decent conditions, all it needs to start is fuel, compression and spark, if you prime the carburetor bowl at first, it will start first try, just like my fiat did, and just like this guy did. Volvo or any other brand, this is the beauty of old simple carbureted cars.
