You caught my attention with the intro. As a ”swede” living less than 5 miles from the Volvo factory in Gothenburg I enjoy those oldies. We have an Volvo museum with every one of the old ones. Two thumbs up!👍👍

You got this nice old Volvo Amazon kombi and you do like this with it I cannot believe it. Volvo and SAAB mechanic used to give the other guys a hard time, mostly for fun though. Me being a former SAAB mechanic I in reality love theese old Volvos so this is to me what the heck did he do.

The 5cylinder has a great sound Greetings from Gothenburg Sweden ( hometown of Volvo)

Nice build. I really enjoy the sound of a 5-cylinder engine, such as the Volvos and Audis have.

My father was issued a white 1964 122 wagon as a company car. One night coming home from a company party at the World’s Fair (my dad and my mom ran the Swedish restaurant), he and my mom were up front and a couple of company execs were in the back when the car hit a construction beam in the road and rolled three times. Everyone walked away. He was promptly issued a new, identical model to replace it. Since the World’s Fair only ran for two years, we only had the Volvos for ‘64 and ‘65. One cool thing ws that the cars carried Port Authority license plates in addition to the NY plates which meant it could be driven onto the ramp at JFK. I have a soft spot for these Amazons (as they were known outside the US). It’s great to see yours in such good shape!

That whiteblock making some killer sound! Way better going na than turbo!

What a cool volvo! I mean you just nailed it all the way through the whole thing! 👌 And kudos to you for that little die-cast predator on the shelf in the background 👍

Greetings and thanks for sharing! I love my 09 C30 T5 and my 740 with a f cylinder turbo and 4 spd with overdrive!

That's one nice Volvo! I have a -84 242 with B230 16V Turbo but the 122 stationwagon is one of the coolest Volvo's for sure. Really love those wheels!!!

We need more PAPA LONG content!

I love the Volvo but I want the Cadillac. What a beauty.

This is my dream car, love what you have done to it.

Nice build , cool shop !!!!

Fantastic practical classic cars grab one while you can because they are shooting up in value especially the estates

Love the care it looks like you put into your cars and your video style! Good stuff man!

"some things im not happy about but its pretty baller" words i live by

What a cool build!

DAMN, this is a dream car!! the amazon combi + a 5 cilinder!! Best of both worlds..

ITB are the sound of life.

sounds awesome and looks cool too. i love engine swaps like this

beautiful and super unique car, I love the look and how you decided to modify it. Happy new year, thanks for sharing

Beautiful build. We need more like this.

Sounds beautiful

Love to see this car at our slo festival next year

such a beautiful car mate... Well done.

Car looks and sounds superb a nice build .

kudos for keeping the swap in the family!

dang that is one gorgeous car. an absolute favorite classic. and nothing sounds as good as a Volvo 5 Cylinder engine

love it !!! sound is unreal !!!!

5 cyl whit ITB's.. something i didnt know i needed in my life, it sounds AWSOME! first and possibly the only time i wont miss the turbo sound from a 5 cyl. great build!

My dad has a mustang 2 front clip on his 1940 Chevy pickup with bags. It works really well. Love your build 🤌🏼

Love it ❤ .i have a 73 144e. That was my 2nd high-school car it has just been sitting since i parked it in 1999 .i want to do something similar to what you have there .but im going to go more of a touring car look

This is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen 😁🇭🇲

Very, very cool and the sound is awesome. Funny when you say “it doesn’t have a ton of power” then you proceed to tear through the gears. Some of us don’t live with high horsepower rigs so your acceleration demo seems pretty damn impressive! My ideal power to weight would be 200hp/ton so you’re not that far off. Thanks for the vid!

Kudos to you for not only saving a beautiful wagon, but also enhance the raw material in a tasteful way. you will have many fine miles ahead of you sitting behind that rather large steering wheel of the "Amazon kombi" Cheers

Nicely done. Sounds great. If you are happy with it that’s all that matters.

It’s about damn time!!!

Looks awesome, sounds even better.

Around 1999, I built a 740 wagon with a 93 Mustang 5.0 and 5 speed. I love this one, I think it's perfect as it sits, I would turbo it before lowering it any more, but that's me. I'm also in NC, will keep an eye on you!

Nice Classics in your garage. The 122 very cool.

I've seen a couple of good builds based on all the versions of the Amazon models. This one is now one of my favorites. Old cars should be driven and not stored away. The auto purists out there can cry how much they want, this is how we give the cars a second chance of love.

Absolutely awesome ride! I think the air ride set up is perfect! She runs good too!!!

From an old Volvo guy, "Well done"

Nice car Kyle! Looking forward to your upcoming vids! Dean says hi !!

A proper need for swede ! 🎉

In my life, there have been two Audi Coupes occupying my driveway. Although nothing to do with Volvo, the sound of a 5 cylinder at full chat warbling is intoxicating. That's one cool Volvo.

Love the video Kyle! I remember the first time I saw this car at Cars & Coffee in Roxboro years ago! Looking forward to future videos.

Nice work Kyle, looking forward to the future mods!

What a little gem 👌🏻

Can't wait till the next one!

I live in NC and have an unhealthy obsession with 122s. I would love to see this thing.

Sounds incredible. Nice workshop you have there

that's a fun long roof man, I've always been a fan of Volvos, buddy of mine had a 242 back in the day, I can appreciate that it's not pretty, it's the perfect driver.

I don't know how to "thumbs up" more than once! 🔥

Love the back story.

Scrapped one of those wagons about 20 years ago for parts to a cupè. There were almost no floor in it, the driver seat went thru the floor when I sat in it in the garage 😂. But it was free and had some parts that I needed to my 1964.

Old skool estate on ITB’s. Instant like and subscribe. Cool estates are the best do anything cars ever. We’ll done great build. Sounds savage

Watching from the State of Rhode Island--never owned a Vovlo-but sweet mod for sure-excellent execution-if Vovlo had any sense-they would make these just like this-NOW-NEW-they would sell faster than they could make them-continued success! 🙂

DDDAAAMMMNNN ! I like this !! Nice work!!!

Awesome!! a Amazon kombi!, as the name is i Sweden! :), Cool build!

Subscribed, come over from Deans channel! Dude this car is absolutely sick love it!

It’s got character 👍

Very nice ride man, the 5 cyl engine is very cool in rwd applications and the amazon wagon is a nice car to put it in.

you are driving my dream!

So glad I found your channel! I'm doing this swap with the turbo whiteblock, into my Amazon. Currently pulling it out of the v70r, and I have so many questions. 🤣

23k views and less the 650 subs, you got my sub as a euro car guy currently with a Volvo 🤘🏻

Hella cool rare wagon

Love to see the na builds!

Love what you have done on this rarest of the 122 series. My first car was a 1964 PV544, which I purchased for something ridiculous like $450.00 back in 1969. I remember that there was a rare 544 wagon with rear barn doors. There was only one I saw back then in San Francisco, where I live. If you ever consider selling it, let know.

nice video ,i see your in the V category, Volvo and Volkswagen ,nice work on the 122 wagon tough to find any kind of wagon,I been owning/driving these over 40 yrs and over a million miles over 4 to 5- 240's and love them and there is nothing better in winter for heat, and have had heated seats since 1981 driver seat was standard passenger seat was optional, girls like it on the bunns, LOL, nice work on the car, when you go to do the rest of the drop build and cut up the rear floor ,if can retro fit the factory hydraulic engine mounts , you'll find as much as 15-20% NVH reduction in the cabin, it is a huge difference, you can buy a one sided adhesive backed insulation for the underside of the hood , cut to shape and its peel and stick, that alone cuts your NVH another 6.5 decibels , which is really noticeable , one trick i learned from a car builder is spraying under coating inside your doors, just a thin coat and it reduces the natural resonance transmitted from the road through the chassis, i did this on my 89 240 DL and it works pretty good, sweet ride, you can also get cams for that engine that'll give another10-15 bhp, 👍

Excellent.

This thing is freaking cool man! I have a turbo whiteblock 04 motor in a 98 T5 with fbo, coilovers, water methanol, etc.. made 350whp and over 400ft lbs... And I have a 1990 244gl with a cammed LS, manual Nissan trans, ford 8.8 rear with 3.73, ipd sport springs, bne panhard bar etc.. has 1 7/8 longtube headers with tbss and 92mm tb so it's loud... I love inline 5s and V8 sounds.. the itb definitely make some nice sound with the 5 cyl.. like a mini v10 or V12 lol... I'd love a 140 or even 160 to put my LS drivetrain in. The 240 is solid but a 4dr sedan wasn't my first choice. It does look pretty cool with black n silver two tone and BBS SR wheels on it, also had some Vette salad shooter 16x9.5 on it. But again very cool!! I see you have a mk2 vw in there as well. My buddy has a 93 corrado g60 in yellow been sitting in his garage for like 15 years.

Original callipers , rotors and discs are readily available for the 122 from several sellers on US and Canada and in Europe.

Rad lil wagoon you got there! Don't know which is more impressive though, the wagoon or the shop you built! Subbed and looking forward to future episodes.

Bro, I always pove your posts on turbo bricks. Great build!

👍👍 from sweden.

It feels so weird to hear you refer to it as a "Volvo 122" even if I know that's correct over in the U.S. but here in Sweden it's most known as a "Volvo Amazon" And normally I'm that kind of person who likes original, but I think you did a really nice job with that old Amazon! I don't have a volvo amazon myself, but my friend have 5 of those oldies, one of them being a station wagon, all original and never rust repaird! If you ever need something that you can't find over there in the U.S. feel free to ask! Maybe it's easier to find here in sweden :) Have a nice day! And a great video!

Sick amazon, Sick MK1 GTI. Both speak to me. I've been looking into IRS swaps for solid axle cars, and one of the ones that really stood out to me was the RX8. The whole multi-link setup hooks up with 6 bolts and they're SILLY cheap. And theres all manner of aftermarket suspension and linkage parts for them.

This is a case of lower something & it automatically looks better. I love the low look I had a mini truck that was slammed to the ground & it just looked good.

Sick 66! Dean sent me. 😁

SOOOOOOO cool! I have a white 64, red interior that I am getting back on the road, and I want to bad it as well. I may contact you for more details on the suspension. Great work!

should make some discrete sideskirts and some rails on the frame it can sit on if you wanna park it on its belly. easier to change a rail than changing out panels and stuff after some time.

It sounds sweet. Imagine if the 5 cylinders volvo's came with a Honda B series style vtec that just suddenly comes on :P

I'd love to see this thing on a Mustang II front end.

Having a few 850 Turbos, a 122 wagon with a B5254T has been on my bucketlist for years. One day...

Nice build

Wow I'm so jealous of the ITG filter. I really wanted the same setup but it was going to be like $300+ CAD. Maybe sometime in the future.

Looks great, not sure I would go lower but we all think differently. Bike carbs look very cool on it and probably sounds great in real life. The turbo 5 cylinders are cool but you'd lose that sound.

That's a cool Volvo. In my opinion I'd leave the suspension alone and focus on something else but then again it's your car.

I love that didnt overrenovate You can see the cars age

I know it’s your car, but I think the stance is absolutely perfect as it sits in the thumbnail… (as the previous owner of a beasted out 68 Mini 😁, I LOVE old European cars)

all i know is, we better see this at mountain meet next year...with the teddy bear wheels, somehow 😆

I dig it...Not sure if you've seen Throttle Stop Garage but he's building an Amazon (same as a 122, I'm told) with carbon fiber body parts. Would love some more info on the GTI, too.

Wish i could find something like that to put a volvo straight 6 in :)

Vw and volvos go good together. I have a 67 beetle, a mk1 Gti, a 93 245 and a 74 145 (still in pieces).

FYI, those are FC RX7 disc's, all the FB's were 4 bolt hubs!

Amazing build bro... Maybe next mod will be turbo it😁... Keep it up👍🏼💥

The splits only partially for the ability to drive with it open, it’s more so you can load stuff against the back and not have it drop everywhere when you try to get it out.

I drove a -70 amazone with a B20 engine...later also a 855 ....miss that sound ;) btw, on my 855, i swapped the brakepads , to the ones from a 940 , because of sqeeking brakes.

magnifique...🤩🤩🤩
