Up for sale today is a 1967 Volvo 122s 2 Door that's tastefully done and a functioning practical classic.
Exterior and Interior
Following the success and iconic styling cues of the Volvo PV was a tough ask. The PV was a true rally legend, and in the hands of the legendary Joginder Singh, no rally circuit was tough enough. Unlike many Hollywood reboots, the Volve 122s lived up to its predecessor and stunned the world with its iconic "Ponton" design. While the 122s wasn't a rally legend, it sure made up for it in styling, and the lovely 1967 Volvo 122s 2 Door with its white exterior shows us why. The white exterior brings the car's sporty yet elegant features out and is home to all the car exterior components which are in great shape. To reflect its performance background, this Swedish legend sits on a set of Fuchs-styled American racing equipment wheels finished off in gun-metal grey. Once you are in and comfy in the black interior of this 1967 Volvo 122s 2 Door, it's not a shocker if you start thinking of signing up for classic car rallies; the black leather seats and aftermarket sports steering wheel make for a lovely driving position on long drives. The interior is in great shape and even sports the factory Volvo sound system for that old-school aesthetic.
Engine
Pop open the hood of this 1967 Volvo 122s 2 Door, and you will find a 1.8L inline 4 (B18) powertrain. The classic Volvo powertrain is a work of art and dons a twin carburetor set up with performance air filters for a more raspy engine tone and performance. While it may be a car from the 60s, you will find disc brakes in the front for better stopping power. All that classic performance is channeled to the car's rear wheels through a four-speed 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.
