This 1963 Volvo is number 222 of a claimed 367 open-top L3304 models manufactured for use by the Swedish military as anti-tank vehicles. It was acquired by the seller out of Sweden in 2015 and subsequently imported to the US in 2021. The vehicle is powered by a 1.8-liter B18 inline-four mated to a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Additional equipment includes a Zenith carburetor, VDO instrumentation, replacement bucket seats, a windscreen, a replica minigun, and a roll bar with a green vinyl cover. This L3304 is now offered with a collection of period-style military equipment and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
The body is finished in olive drab paint, which is faded and peeling. A windscreen as well as a roll bar with a green vinyl cover have been added. A replica minigun is mounted atop the roll bar, and additional exterior details include a trailer light connector, rear mud flaps, and various storage compartments.
Steel 16″ wheels are mounted with Goodyear military tires, and a full-size spare is stored up front. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drum brakes.
The cockpit houses replacement bucket seats trimmed in black cloth with vinyl sides and backs. Additional appointments include a 12-volt outlet, a dashboard-mounted rearview mirror, a foot-operated high/low-beam switch, and lap belts. The seat upholstery is torn.
The three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of centrally mounted VDO instrumentation including a 105-km/h speedometer and a combination gauge indicating oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 14k kilometers (~9k miles), approximately 500 of which have been added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown.
The 1.8-liter B18 inline-four cylinder is equipped with a single Zenith downdraft carburetor. An oil change was last performed in May 2022.
Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Additional underside images are provided in the gallery below.
A tool kit as well as a collection of period-style military equipment is included in the sale.
Chassis number of 222 is shown above, and the VIN on the current Florida title is listed as 0000222.
