The Volvo you never knew you needed! LS-powered ’62 Volvo Amazon
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
How often do you see a Volvo slammed on Tesla wheels but also powered by an LS V8 engine? The answer is never, except now! You can thank Shant from Bells and Vaughns Collision Center for taking this craigslist find 1962 Volvo Amazon(122) and completely rebuilding into the radical machine you see here. It weighs nothing, has all the torque and provides all the fun, enjoy!

Respect from Sweden! Rad to see there are Amazons still rolling on American roads. Love what he's done to this one. Looks super sick.

@John Daley 740/940 comes with the same redblock 165hp turbo engine, but the later model 940 comes with the stronger diff and M90 gearbox. I prefer the more classic look of the 240 but the 740/940 has a more boxy and raw look.

Fun fact, Volvo used to have a factory in Nova Scotia and they built some of these cars there. They came with limited slip diffs from that factory along with a few other differences.
The Amazon is like it's straight up from NFS heat

I've been dreaming of a build like this ever since I saw the 1320 video about the stockholm open 😍
This puts a smile on my face.
Great vid! I love the car. I'm working on a 355 SBC powered '68 Amazon. It's gonna be fun. Props to the owner for this sweet build!
Smoked them tires right away! Great looking, beautiful sounding engine 👍🏼👍🏼
oh man his smiles makes me happy too
The joy you get just from drifting in Hoonigan Yard is awesome 👏🏽
As a Volvo enthusiast (got two old Swedes myself) & a big Hoonigan fan - this is one of the best videos I have seen on this channel.
Damn, i absolutely love this thing! One of my all time favorites of all the cars that have been on the show for sure! 🤩👌
I love old volvos and this one is even better. Shant is a cool guy too.
DO MORE VOLVOS THEY DESERVE LOVE
Awesome Amazon. I'm so happy this little car gets some recognition. I'm gonna get mine on the road just so people can appreciate this little rally car
Rad car, cool dude, great energy from the whole crew. happy video.
I drive by Bells and Vaughn every day on the way home and see this thing all the time. So cool!

That song brought me back. There was a song in the 80s 90s that had that sample "this is a journey into sound"
I have a 1970 Volvo 145s (wagon) and same story didn't know anything thing about the car till i bought it. old Volvo's need to get some more love, they are such good cars.
That's awsome!! Dude was having a blast in his car!! That's was the best
I chat with this gentleman and saw it run at Irwindale Dragway. It is sucha sweet ride, and he's a nice guy/
that was a sick build. Looks so good.
Wow, i didnt know Volvo used to make masterpieces back then. 👌🏽
this car is super F'n cool... wish there were more builds like this
It's impossible to drive that car and not have a mile-wide smile on your face
Love seeing this type of old school style with modern style mix. Badass ride 🤙🏼✊🏼
This dude has an eye for something special. Taking chances that pay off huge, that's something to respect there.
This is the definition of clean and simple..
When I was I kid some people still drove these on Swedish roads but they did not look as rad as that one. Very cool build.
The enjoyment on dudez face says it all. Don’t need much to have fun in a cool car. Very nice build and shred
whole car is amazing, crazy ass set up
What an awesome build
thats so rad man this dude just out here having fun with his project. so badass.
What a sweet old Volvo. I love it.
What a sick build.

Funny cause I first seen a Volvo Amazon at a local car show the year before the pandemic started and I fell in love with it! Love it from every angle and have been looking for a nice one here in Ontario ever since 👍 Awesome to see this beauty!

I've always known that I needed one, that's why I built a sbc turbo Amazon 15 years ago. More fun than should be allowed. Dang it..... now I gotta go dig it out of the barn and make sure. Anyone got some bail money?

Love this bodystyle Volvo, the wagons are even better!!
Awesome Build!, regards from Sweden the home of the mighty Amazon.. ;)
This is by far one of the sickest cars featured on the channel
Nice ride. And it's not a crazy build. An everyman hotrod. Gotta love it 👍👍
a volvo 122 wagon is one of the many dream cars 😩
Great job on a very cool car!
this i why i love cars so much
When I didnt have a driver licence,, I saw one of these for sale in my neighbourhood for around 1k in runing and decent shape. Still dream of it sometimes
Well I love that song y'all used to show the car
Badass ride!
Love that car, very clean my man!
Microwaved honey buns are a God send!!!
YES!! this has always been a dream build. Find one in a barn for cheap, and LS swap it.
Going by dates this might actually be US's original LOLvo 👍 There are still quite a few of these on the road here in Switzerland, as they were ubiquitous police cars until the '80s. Mostly modern Volvo turbo i5 swaps. But this is one of the nicest I've ever seen.
That's become a bucket list car. The small touches he made turned it into a UNIT.
I know a guy who put a big block I one if these back in High School and he smoking everyone else in his auto shop class like slab of bacon, it was epic.
Finally some frickin volvo content!
Defo a nice sleeper!! I know a boy that's got something that looks very similar but without the boot with a V6 under the bonnet it's a 1950 60s british thing and I can tell you it goes well-its a strange feeling having all the old boys egg'n you on when it's an old vehicle 👍
Somebody mentioned System of a Down when this dude was in Larry's video painting his truck, and now I can't unsee it. Sweet car though.
this thing is bad ass!! we need more old school restos
Super sick!!
My favourite car to feature on Hoon! 😍
This thing shreds!!
This car is beautiful. 9:04 the smile says it all!
Awesome build, cool dude. I first saw an Amazon in a Top Great UK episode with James May learning to rally on dirt with Mika Hakkinen.
tbh....this is one of the best cars u guys have had on this show =) looks...and an LS is insane in that tiny car.
Volvo anything is an absolute smash of the like button always
Seeing Volvo Amazons in Finland is pretty normal but seeing one in America i'm not surprised that it's got an LS in it.
