This 1964 Volvo 122S underwent a multi-year refurbishment in the 1990s and subsequently spent time in storage before being acquired by the seller in 2020. The car is finished in white over red vinyl and powered by a 1.8-liter inline-four mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Further equipment includes an overdrive unit, front disc brakes, and 15″ steel wheels along with a push-button Volvo by Bendix AM radio and a cabin heater. Work since 2023 is noted to have involved installing dual SU carburetors, adding a brake booster, and replacing the carpets. This 122S is now offered with manufacturer’s literature, accessories, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The body was stripped and repainted in white as part of the aforementioned 1990s refurbishment, per the seller. Gold-finished Volvo 122S badging adorns the fenders, while an Overdrive badge has been added to the trunklid. Further details include a driver-side mirror, bumper overriders, and Volvo-branded rear mud flaps. Scratches and dings are noted on the drip rail and rear window trim.
Steel 15” wheels wear Volvo-branded hubcaps with red inlays and are mounted with 165 Vredestein Sprint Classic tires that were installed in preparation for the sale. Work in March 2024 is said to have involved adding a brake booster, replacing the wheel cylinders, and changing the brake fluid.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in red vinyl along with color-coordinated door panels. Replacement gray carpets were added in March 2024, and further details include a push-button Volvo by Bendix AM radio, a cabin heater, and three-point front seatbelts.
The Volvo-branded steering wheel wears a chrome horn ring and frames a horizontal-sweep VDO 120-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 7k miles, and the seller states that true mileage is unknown.
The 1.8-liter B18 inline-four was fitted with dual SU carburetors in 2023. The fuel pump was replaced in March 2020.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission as well as an overdrive that was added in 2010.
A collection of literature and accessories will accompany the car.
