Preparing an Abandoned 1967 Volvo Amazon for a 600 mile roadtrip 

The challenges are RELENTLESS with this little car!!! How am I ever going to make this trip?

Dean, I literally haven't stopped laughing through this video! Love it! Well done for smashing those jobs out!

Nice vice you have! Big thanks to Mike! Congrets with your new pets! But What a succes! You made it to the trip 🎉! Big respect 🫡!! Looking forward too the trip! And like allways big 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 🆙

So that is why my 121 had an universal spring loaded brake light switch on the brake pedal! 😂

13:22 That's a 6-bolt flywheel which means it the same on the B18's and early(!) B20, in 1973 they actually introduced a new 8-bolt crankshaft/flywheel for the B20 engine, and those same crankshafts and flywheels were then later used in the B21 engine. And there's actually an old trick when getting some more horsepower out of the later B20's because those first connecting-rods used for the 8-bolt crankshaft/flywheel were really weak, so people would get the later M-connecting rods out the mid-to-late B21 engines because they fit right onto the crankshaft used in late-production B20's. Great video btw!

Sorry. I probably ended up with your guide when I did my Transmission last year. Someone sold me a guide out of a cover. Could be?

What are the rims on it?

A remarkably enjoyable video and your brilliant work was a pleasure to watch !

I love this car. I wanna get a Amazon too. But first I need to buy a property with a garage... 😅

Thx for the seal trick I'm actually rebuilding a 122 with my dad and this will be useful

I knew there had to be some serious hidden rust issues on this car. Real shame putting in all the work just to see the car disintegrating in front of you. But the patina on it is so fucking good each time I see it I get jealous. Perhaps a complete strip down and rust treatment and some welding in the long distant future?

I must say i love the look of that car make s me wont to sell my r50 mini but then id have to much money

Dude, I was joking about the tank and clutch!!

En gamal amazon, me lister o krom 🎵🇸🇪

Poor Dean, the joys of classic car ownership huh 😂😂😂

Man...I hope you video your whole trip...

This is very cool, road trip should be a good time!!

Epic video. I can’t wait for the next one!

Thanks for making videos dude

Looks like a silicone seal, not a silicon seal

They are lovely cars.

Good.job. Nice car Good volvo

О таком автомобиле можно только мечтать❤❤❤

I had one of those when I was going to school many years ago (early 70's). Mine had a B18-D engine if I remember correctly with dual SU carbs. My interior was tan colored. That is about all I can remember except for the long shifter and scrolling speedometer.

10 for effort, 10 for ingenuity, 10 for technical commentary and humour. But the squirrels only get 7 for not focusing on the task ahead and craving head scratch in flowerpot, something very much frowned upon as we all know.

Last time that happened to me, in 1990, the part was still available from Volvo, and they had actually upgraded it to thicker steel with a gusset.

Spoiler alert: It was great seeing you at Mountain Meet! PS: Mike saved my bacon too when my old hoopty Volvo decided to reject the valve cover gasket.

It's *_really_* easy to get basically every kind of Amazon part you could every need here in Sweden, but i can definitely imagine that it's quite a lot harder to find over in the States 😮

🐿️❤

Do you ever get the feeling the only luck you have might be bad luck? Good luck. It’s really a beautiful car.

Really neat with the rear main seal! A lot easier than on my Amazon, and a modern neoprene rubber seal available too. I have to drop the crank as it is a two piece felt seal (along with some wood sticks, no joke) that seal it up. No rubber seal available as far as I know for a B16. Glad you managed to work through all the other issues as well. Hopefully you felt it was worth all the long hours. Looking forward to seeing how the trip went.

I'm falling in love with these little cars. I have to get me one

I LOVE YOUR VIDEO! I ADMIRE YOUR PERSEVERANCE!

Excellent floor repair! 👌🤌👍😂
