The Volvo Amazon, internally known as the 120 Series, is one of the most beloved Swedish classics ever built. Produced between 1956 and 1970, the Amazon is known for its robust quality, timeless lines, and surprising driving dynamics.
What makes this 1968 Amazon extra special is the version in the sought-after 123 GT Look — the sporty variant with which Volvo proved that Swedish reliability and driving pleasure go together perfectly. Under the hood is the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with twin carburetors, coupled to a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive, which allows for both liveliness and relaxed touring on the highway. The front disc brakes ensure reliable braking performance, while the 123 GT dashboard with tachometer immediately reveals this car’s sporty intent. A true driver’s Amazon with character.
The exterior of this Amazon features sleek white paintwork that beautifully accentuates the model’s classic, slightly rounded body lines. The chrome bumpers and trim contrast beautifully with the cream-white bodywork, while the extra spotlights at the front add a rally-like touch that seamlessly fits the car’s GT character. The steel wheels are finished in matching white, giving the whole a unified, contemporary look. Inside, you will find an interior with light blue-grey faux leather upholstery on the spacious front seats with headrests, a material that complements the light, airy atmosphere of the exterior. The steering wheel with GT logo and the uncluttered dashboard with wood-colored instrument panel complete the interior — stylish, functional, and steeped in the atmosphere of the late 1960s.
