This 1966 Volvo 122S is finished in burgundy over a maroon velour interior and is powered by a 1.8-liter B18 inline-four paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The car has been in the Salem, Oregon area since the early 2000s, and the selling dealer recently acquired the car from its previous long-term owner. The seller has since replaced the valve cover gasket, all five tires, serviced the brake system, and more detailed below. This Volvo 122S is offered by the selling dealer at no reserve with period literature and a clean Oregon title.
Originally pearl white (79-1), the car has been repainted in burgundy and retains factory bumpers and lighting. Waviness is visible in the driver’s door, and bubbling is pictured at the lower leading edge of the driver’s door and right front fender. Pinholes are pictured under the right taillight.
A walk-around and drive video is viewable above. The seller notes that the non-functional marker light shown in the video has since been repaired, though the back-up lights still do not work. The seller fitted new tires to the four roadwheels and the trunk-mounted spare, and sourced new hubcaps.
The cabin features burgundy velour upholstery with matching carpets and floor mats. An aftermarket radio is installed in the white-painted dash, and speakers have been added to the doors and rear parcel shelf. The seller has repaired the front and rear heater blowers, and notes that the horn has been relocated to a button mounted under the dash.
Splits are present in the plastic steering wheel rim. Instrumentation includes a 120-mph band-style speedometer, which is shown operating in gallery and video. 2,400 miles are shown on the 5-digit odometer, though the true mileage is unknown.
The 1.8-liter B18 inline-four is equipped with dual carburetors and sends power to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission. The selling dealer has replaced the valve cover gasket and performed a tune-up.
The selling dealer has also replaced the rear axle bearings, rear wheel brake cylinders, front brake pads, rear brake shoes, and flushed the brake system. Rust is noted in the driver’s rear floor and the spare tire well.
A March 1965 issue of Car and Driver featuring the model, a dealer brochure with specifications, and an owner’s manual are included.
