This 1962 Volvo 122S is finished in red over gray vinyl and powered by a 1.8-liter inline-four mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Additional equipment includes dual SU carburetors, front disc brakes, a Blaupunkt AM radio, and chrome bumpers with overriders. The car was recently acquired by the selling dealer, and an oil change was performed in preparation for the sale. This 122S is now offered at no reserve by the selling dealer in Texas with a spare vent window and front signal lens as well as a tool roll and a Kansas title.
The car left the factory finished in Red (46) and was reportedly refinished under previous ownership. Features include a front grille guard, chrome bumpers with overriders, dual side mirrors, Volvo-branded rear mud flaps, and bright body-side moldings and window trim.
Silver-finished 15″ steel wheels wear Volvo-branded hubcaps and are mounted with Firestone F-560 tires showing 2002 date codes. A full-size spare wheel and tire are stored in the trunk. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums.
The interior features front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in gray vinyl joined by matching door panels with map pockets. Equipment includes a Blaupunkt AM radio, a heater, a front parcel shelf, and a passenger-side grab bar. Both front seats show wear, the driver’s seat has a split seam, the black vinyl dash pad displays a split and wrinkles, and the gray floor mats are cracked.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and fronts a 120-mph horizontal ribbon speedometer with integrated gauges for fuel level and water temperature. An aftermarket oil-pressure gauge and ammeter are mounted below the body-color dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows 36k miles, approximately 100 of which were added by the selling dealer. The Kansas title notes a mileage discrepancy, and true mileage is unknown.
The 1.8-liter B18 inline-four is equipped with a pair of single-barrel SU carburetors topped by Volvo pancake air cleaners and was rated at 90 horsepower and 105 lb-ft of torque when new. The oil was changed in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a floor-shifted four-speed manual transmission. Additional photos of the underside are provided in the gallery below.
