Volvo Amazon: From Rust to Rally

[@thomasfarwick9933]

There is only one thing to say about this car, "Beautiful".

[@DjLuggy10]

My granddad has a 1962 B18 Amazon that has been sitting for over 25 years and I have started fixing it and almost got it running today! It is dirty and full of rat pee but I love it.

[@Edvin08]

Nice. Good luck with the project 😉

[@ahmiit_]

How is the project going man

[@vaettra1589]

Absolutely beautiful scenery! And I love the car, an Amazon -66 was my first car.

[@Chunkerdunkers12]

What a gorgeous car. I'd love one. I own a 72 Camaro but people are always shocked when I say I want an Amazon or a 66 Fastback

[@alastairwatson3201]

“Driving Tastefully,” eh? A great video filling a bit of a Petrolicious void. Subscribed!

[@R32RennSport]

Appreciate that!

[@Rambo454]

Really beautiful story. Can't wait to restore and get my own 1964 Amazon running!

[@R32RennSport]

Excellent talent my friend. Such a memorable evening shooting with you. Thank you for sharing my story and my passion. Special mention of my amazing wife who without her support and patience I would have never seen this to the end.

[@EnriqueLopez-hb5jn]

This shows if you are determined you can accomplish your goal of owning a classic car

[@rodsalvador3608]

Beautiful! The new Petrolicious. I've got an old P1800 that I eventually will restore....someday.

[@Uswesi1527]

That car is a landmark. Designed and built to last.

[@JJ-ny9jj]

I have a Amazon from 1968 same color but with a b20 engine . Great car for the weekends

[@Sebastian_George]

The art, beauty, opera and power of Volvo from Gothenburg in Sweden, it's so great to see in rest of the world. 🌏🚗🖼🔊🎼🎶🇸🇪❤😁

[@zadokmotorfreight2423]

What a truly beautiful car!

[@M1GWEL]

Great video and lovely looking car. I think You and me are the same when you said you like everything car related including diecast. Well that’s me also 👍🏻👍🏻

[@SteveLowtwait]

A cool car and great automotive passion in a beautifully crafted video is enjoyable to watch.

Stunning

[@EnriqueLopez-hb5jn]

Nice scenery, beautiful story.

[@caspar2937]

I really dig the way you approach the automotive hobby. And what's an incredible looking amazon, congratulations.

[@peterlindstrom3798]

Nice video, nice car, thanks for showing us! (I have a -64)

[@chikitabowow]

Amazing video! I have a 1964 Amazon and i love it so much, it always cheers me up when i can take a drive in it.

[@DavidBello]

I just made a test drive video on this car and then I see this, nice!

[@R32RennSport]

I thought I had shared this with you.

[@jbfinishingsjellebilliau9054]

This is a really cool car and it’s on my bucketlist☺️😏

[@sergioraulpezoa924]

Está PERFECTO, ése Volvo: lo único, sabés qué: sácale ésos cuatro reflectores, así queda perfectamente original

[@R32RennSport]

Thanks! I can agree with your taste, they are nice to have on dark roads at night, original lighting is pretty dim.

[@robertmagee5523]

Great looking car ,I have a 1966 122s ..like yours, but it's a 4 door.

[@declanburke4146]

Amazing car, great story, beautiful visual treat 👌🏻👌🏻

[@panzerkampfwagenv-ii7260]

[@MyCarFilm]

Lovely Amazon...and vide....where are the wheels from....i have aa p1800s that they work look good on....also the steering wheel?

[@R32RennSport]

Thank you! The wheels are authentic Shelby Cobra Halibrands 15x7 knock off wheels. They require a simple bolt on hub conversion. The steering wheel is from Volkswagen aftermarket company Flat 4. I used a Grant CJ5 adapter with a modified spacer boss. Hope that helps!

[@srfrg9707]

Exquisit

[@geothon]

Super!

[@ericseyller2848]

superbe

[@ilceiquetempinhobomquantas5547]

Credoooo que bom gosto só sucesso pelo video assim kkkkkk

[@melchertreudink8389]

Nice video and great looking car. I have a 1966 121 myself. What kind of side mirrors did you put on the car? They look nice. Do they also offer a better view than the original side mirrors?

[@R32RennSport]

Thanks! As for the mirrors they are just ornaments, totally useless as installed. Need to modify or relocate them.

[@filmart430]

Nice poetic experience for us to enjoy but it would of been nice to inform us on the vehicle specs along with showing the engine.

[@juanvh30]

What engine do u have,any modifications which exhaust you put really amazing car I'm planning on get one too

[@R32RennSport]

B20 bored to 2130cc with twin sidedraft Webers. Simon's 2 inch sport exhaust.

[@vickram.k]

Hi There, beautiful car,! Can i know where you got the wheels?

[@R32RennSport]

Thank you! Wheels are American Racing VN309s, 15x7. I custom painted the spokes darker. I also had the center caps specifically machined to my design.

[@epie]

@@R32RennSportThey look amazing. What offset and tire sizes do you have?

[@R32RennSport]

@@epie Offset was close to 0 if I recall, tire size was 205/60/15

[@122amazonls5]

What steering wheel you have on it

[@R32RennSport]

Flat 4 Empi GTV 15 inch with Grant steering adapter. Some custom machining to the boss spacer to get proper spacing.

[@stephenburnage7687]

The wheel looks great. I am trying to keep my Amazon close to original but I might make an exception for a steering wheel like that!

[@hedlund88]

That's somewhere in California? Woha

[@R32RennSport]

It's a very lightly traveled scenic back road on the central coast that connects the coastal inland valley to the PCH.

[@mkshffr4936]

What mods did you make under the hood?

[@R32RennSport]

Engine is upgraded from a standard B18 to a later B20 with B21 pistons to bring displacement to 2130cc. Mild head work, torque camshaft, and sport exhaust. Induction is handled by twin Weber 45mm DCOEs on a set of long runner manifolds. Output is around 120/120. Check out Car Tales or R32rennsport on Instagram for pictures!

[@KenMcFadden-d9i]

Nice 123gt. Could bought one it was rusty😢😢😢

[@Svenmeister]

😎

[@zer00rdie]

Not a fan of the B18 tbh.

[@R32RennSport]

This car has a late B20 from a 142S bored over to use B21 pistons, 2130cc displacement. Mild 9.5 to 1 compression, stage 2 cylinder head, KG10 camshaft and steel cam gears. Induction is x2 45 DCOE Webers mated to VCS replica long runner intakes. All this is mated to late J Type M41 Overdrive transmission. Power is sent to a fully built Dana 27/30 hybrid with Spicer limited slip differential.

[@kingcorner3037]

What steering wheel is that? So beautiful!

[@R32RennSport]

Thank you! It's from the aircooled VW supplier Empi/Flat4, it's their premium GTV steering wheel. Same diameter as original, much like the 123GT wheel. I used a Grant steering adapter from an early CJ5 as it has the same spline count. I made a spacer to move it away from the indicator stock as well.

[@pkonyoutube]

I was going to ask the same - beautiful wheel that is featured throughout the video. It’s fitting that it’s of VW origins given the owners backstory. My first several cars were beetles too.

[@thomasjordan5578]

You got the old style grille, it’s stronger than the laters

[@whilliamsteampunker824]

Oooooh. That beast is so sexy. Love Volvo😍😍 Love the story

[@amana1480]

I didn't see any rust
