"1964 Volvo 122S ""Amazon"" Coupe
Complete Rust-Free Restoration • Upgraded 2.0L Engine • M21 4-Speed with Electric Overdrive • Beautifully Restored Throughout
The Volvo 122S-better known around the world as the Amazon-has earned a reputation as one of the most durable, elegantly designed, and enjoyable sports sedans of the 1960s. Combining timeless Scandinavian styling with legendary reliability, the Amazon has become increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate craftsmanship, drivability, and understated design.
Offered here is an exceptionally well-restored 1964 Volvo 122S Coupe that has benefited from a comprehensive restoration performed on an outstanding rust-free chassis. Finished in its original Soft White over a beautifully crafted red interior, this Amazon presents as a striking example that has clearly been restored with meticulous attention to authenticity while incorporating thoughtful mechanical upgrades that enhance the driving experience.
The car has been garage kept, carefully maintained, and remains an excellent representation of one of Volvo's most beloved classics. The odometer currently indicates approximately 73,000 miles, though total chassis mileage is TMU (True Mileage Unknown) due to the restoration.
POWERTRAIN
Power comes from an upgraded 2.0-liter B20 inline-four, offering improved performance while retaining the character and simplicity that enthusiasts appreciate in the Volvo B-series engine family. Engine and drivetrain highlights include:
Upgraded B20 2.0-Liter Inline-Four Engine
Weber Downdraft Carburetor
Cannon Performance Intake Manifold
M21 Four-Speed Manual Transmission
Electric Overdrive
For collectors seeking originality, the original dual SU carburetors and intake manifold accompany the vehicle, allowing a future owner the option of returning the induction system to factory specification.
CHASSIS
The suspension and chassis remain true to the car's original character while presenting beautifully throughout. Highlights include:
Wide Whitewall Radial Tires
Original Steel Wheels
Correct Volvo Hub Caps
Stainless Beauty Rings
Wheels Finished in Correct Red
The combination of whitewall tires and factory-style wheels perfectly complements the Amazon's clean Scandinavian styling.
EXTERIOR
Finished in its original Soft White, the exterior was refinished as part of the restoration and exhibits outstanding fit and finish. The body panels are straight, the gaps are consistent, and the overall presentation reflects the quality expected from a carefully restored example. Additional exterior features include:
Excellent Chrome Brightwork
Restored Stainless Trim
Factory Bumper Guards
Excellent Glass Throughout
The understated elegance of the Amazon's design remains one of its greatest strengths, and this example showcases those lines beautifully.
INTERIOR
The interior has been tastefully restored in a rich red upholstery, providing a striking contrast against the Soft White exterior. Materials, fit, and craftsmanship demonstrate the same attention to detail evident throughout the rest of the vehicle. Interior appointments include:
Beautifully Restored Red Interior
Nardi Leather Steering Wheel
Restored Dashboard and Trim
Classic Volvo Instrumentation
The addition of the Nardi steering wheel offers a subtle period-correct sporting touch while enhancing the driving experience.

At Art & Speed, we believe that automobiles are more than just transportation. They are part of the "thrill ride" of life!
Maybe it was the car that carried you and that special person on your first date; or brought home your newborn baby. Perhaps a certain car brought father and son together in a project that created cherished memories through frustration, laughter and proud accomplishments. Maybe it was the object that created freedom and exhilaration from the growl of the big block engine, the smell of the interior and the fuel, the feeling of being one with the road. Perhaps it's all about the first time you saw your favorite car with it's sleek lines, wild colors, bold graphics, or elegant sense of beauty and artful design. The wind in your face and hair… The sensation of speed… And remember the family vacations? And, of course, none of us ever had our picture taken with our cars, right?
As adults, we have a passion for the "vehicles of our lives," the stories that they remind us of, the music that we hear when we see certain automobiles. Indeed, automobiles are woven into the tapestry of our lives, reminding us of simpler pleasures.
At Art & Speed, our goal is to help you relive those experiences and create new ones. Founded by Kevin Caffman and Barry Gilmore, Art & Speed delivers the vehicles, memorabilia and special events that strike passion, revive old memories, and allow us to share those events with our family and friends. And most importantly, Art & Speed will help you make new memories!

Kevin has been a "car guy" since he was old enough to peer out the car windows, identifying every car by year, make and model. Over the years, he has built a reputation for building, owning and selling high quality collector cars. With a background in business, information technology and digital marketing, he has continued to pursue the art of classic automobiles as a hobby. After a successful career in the corporate world, Kevin decided to pursue his dream of owning and building a "different kind of business". Kevin sees vintage, classic and performance cars as an emotional interaction, merging the worlds of performance with the art of the automobile. Thus the vision for Art & Speed was born!
