This 1960 Volvo 122S Amazon was purchased new by the seller’s grandparents in June 1960 and has been in her family since. The car shows 84k miles and was driven locally by the seller’s grandmother until 2005. It was refurbished by the seller’s father and brother about 10 years ago with an overhaul of the 1.6 liter inline-four and 4-speed manual transmission, as well as a repaint in the original color. Records document routine maintenance back to new, and the car is sold with its original manuals and bill of sale along with a clean California title in the seller’s name.

A repaint in the original red was completed during the refurbishment and shows well with an even gloss throughout. One indentation and paint chip is noted on the hood and can be seen in photos in the gallery. Paint in the engine bay and trunk compartment appears to be of a lighter shade than the exterior.

The body is straight with no evidence of prior damage, and no accidents are reported by the seller. Bumpers and other brightwork are presentable and shine well in photographs. Steel wheels with chrome hubcaps are paint-matched to the exterior and wear a set of mismatched whitewalls.

New upholstery was installed by the seller’s grandparents around 30 years ago and still presents well. Seat belts were added in the late 1970s and the brake and clutch pedals were replaced with aftermarket items.

Dash panel appears to be in unrestored condition with a well-preserved dash top and a factory push-button radio. The stock steering wheel has several cracks in the plastic.

The 1.6 liter inline-four was overhauled with new valves, pistons, and gaskets by the seller’s father in partnership with her brother, who was a professional mechanic. The most recent service indicated by the records was in September 2015. The clutch was replaced within the past couple years, and the seller notes that there is an oil leak and the carburetor needs tuning. New air filters are being shipped from Sweden and will be included with the sale.

The bill of sale from Collins Motor Company of Hayward, California lists the cost of the vehicle as $2,600 in 1960, with a push-button radio installed at the time of purchase.
