1964 Volvo Amazon For Sale
This 1964 Volvo Amazon wagon (221/222) is a well-maintained classic located in Houston, Texas. Rescued from a 20-year barn stay, the vehicle has undergone significant mechanical sorting to make it roadworthy, including a fuel system overhaul and a conversion to a dual-circuit braking system. Finished in a "one year only" #85 blue-green paint over a custom interior, this wagon serves as either a reliable "drive as is" vintage cruiser or a solid foundation for a full restoration. The seller, a long-term enthusiast, is thinning their collection due to age and health.
