Exterior and Interior
Volvos sport a unique personality; they aren't the everyday classic motor you see around, and that makes for turned heads and engaging conversation on every drive out. This 1966 Volvo 122S Coupe sports a light blue exterior and really plays into its classic car features. Speaking of its features, a closer look reveals a clean exterior that sports all its chrome and exterior components. You even get a set of period-correct Volvo hubcaps with steel wheels. Need further proof of how clean this classic is? A peek underneath, and you are most definitely convinced that you are in the presence of a machine that has extreme attention to detail. The black interior cabin of this 1966 Volvo 122S is far from what a race-inspired classic should look like, but step in and you may change your mind. The interior cabin is mostly original and features a set of Corbeau Seats that don't take away from that classic car appeal but also give you the best driving position. The current owner reports new wiper blades in place for better visibility, and 3-point retractable seatbelts help uphold that quintessential Volvo personality.
Engine
Pop open the hood of this 1966 Volvo 122S, and what you will find in place is some spicy performance that takes shape with a rebuilt 1.8-litre "B18" inline-4 motor that is reported to have been bored 30 over. The current owner reports some very tasteful upgrades for some peppy performance. In place are SU carburettors for smooth performance, and even a Weber 2-barrel downdraft carburettor that is not installed but included in the sale. The performance upgrades are met with Bilstein shock absorbers and rebuilt front disc brakes for enhanced handling. In true tail happy fashion, this Swedish powerhouse channels all its performance to its rear wheels through a manual transmission.

Volvo is currently known as the smooth Swedish automaker that makes cars with interiors that feel like your living room at home. They’ve been doing this for a few decades now, providing discerning drivers with a sense of comfort and homeliness like no other. Of course, the brand makes sporty offerings too that can really surprise onlookers. But did you know that in the ’60s and ’70s, they were rather different? They had their own quirky sense of Swedish style, and sportiness too. One of their signature models of the ’60s was the 1800, which was made between 1961 and 1973. The car is most famous for featuring on a TV show called “The Saint,” which starred Roger Moore as the main character, over a decade before he became known as James Bond. Today, we’ve got a 1972 Volvo 1800ES for sale, from Atlanta, with 88,585 miles on the clock. The car comes with original mileage and has received some new parts as well. So if you’re a person with an interest in quirky European classics, this car is perfect.
We don’t see a lot of Volvos here, and that’s a pity because Volvo is a super-cool Swedish brand. They make cars that are stylish, well-equipped and feel as homely as possible to travel in. That’s because Volvo focuses on simplicity and comfort with their interiors. Anyone who owns and drives a Volvo will tell you it feels like driving around in their living room. Of course, that makes for a superbly relaxed experience, ensuring that every journey is a fuss-free affair. Who doesn’t like that? So, if you’ve got a desire to try a Volvo, this 12,250-mile 2022 Volvo C40 Recharge Ultimate is a great starting point. This is a subcompact luxury electric crossover SUV, and is a perfect city runabout. But, with up to 226 miles of range per charge, you can take it out of state too, given that our country’s EV charging infrastructure is developing at a rapid pace.
The 1964 Chevrolet Impala 4-Door Sedan captures the long, low, unmistakable style that made Chevrolet’s full-size cars such icons of the 1960s. Showing approximately 28,076 miles, this example combines a 327ci V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor and 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, while power steering and power brakes make it considerably easier to enjoy from behind the wheel. Finished in Red over a Black interior, it also benefits from tasteful modern upgrades including aftermarket coilover suspension and a Bluetooth-capable sound system, adding usability without taking away from the car’s classic character.
This 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Restomod takes the unmistakable shape of Chevrolet’s second-generation F-body and gives it a much more aggressive enthusiast-focused personality. Showing approximately 752 miles, this example combines a 383ci stroker V8 with a 750 CFM Holley 4-barrel carburetor and a 4-speed manual transmission, giving it the kind of old-school muscle-car formula that puts driver involvement front and center. Finished in Black with custom Purple & Red flame graphics, this Camaro also features a Hurst shifter, Grant GT steering wheel, aftermarket gauges, and a number of exterior and audio upgrades that give it a distinctly custom-built character.
The 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II Hardtop is the kind of Mopar that gets enthusiasts interested before the hood is even opened. Its clean B-body lines, pillarless hardtop profile, Soft Yellow paint, black vinyl roof, and Magnum 500-style wheels give it the restrained factory muscle look of the mid-1960s, but this example carries much more serious hardware underneath. Showing approximately 91,610 miles, it is powered by a 440ci big-block V8 backed by a TorqueFlite 727 automatic, giving it the kind of drivetrain combination that feels right at home in a classic Plymouth. Add power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, and a dual exhaust system, and this Belvedere blends old-school Mopar attitude with enough comfort to make it more than just a weekend bruiser.
