- 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.
I was just gonna comment that Ive seen some monsters thanks to the Stockholm open, between old volvos and AWD Audis y'all don't play around
Agree with you
NA Amazons were most likely made in Canada.
@@regno78 what does that have to do with him saying it's rad there's still Amazon's driving around American roads.
@@robertsouza8789 True true
Ive been saying it over and over, this thing as a sleeper wagon is all the car I need in life.
Wagons are the most underrated cars and most definitely underrated sleepers
All wagons are sleepers. Its the best. My sister rolls a e63 amg with straight pipes. You should see prius owners when she starts it.
If you haven't checked it out already there was one in Hot Rod Magazine a few years ago that I'll never forget.
@@derekteter982 whaaat you have the name?
Before you say that, check out the volvo p1800 cyan ;-)
We already knew we needed that Volvo. It's been on Hoonigan Autofocus at least twice before ✌
I had to think about it, because I knew I had seen him before. He owns the shop Larry took the new camera truck to.
@@kelm102 He sure does.
@@kelm102 bingo, thanks i couldnt think of it
I've never clicked on a Hoonigan video faster.
Same
Neither have I
Hahaha same. I've been slakin on alot of these but when I saw the Volvo I had to click
Same
There's an autofocus episode on it too if you haven't already seen it.
Beautiful car, chill dude. Glad he got to talk this time. 🤣
“The smile says it all.”
Yes he’s lovin life and havin lots of fun!
The whole car is great! I love the color and the shifter looks like it has a story all on it’s own. Sounds good too.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
As a Swede and a former Volvo employee i really like this build. Awesome to see a Amazon in the states as well :)
calling a B18 a tractor engine was not nice though...
czcams.com/video/266iddMEX_QU/video.html
As a former Volvo employee...can you confirm for me that the first 2 door Amazon (122S as we know them) came out in 1965? At least over here in the USA, the 2 door and 5 door came out in '65.
@@StuntPosse im not that old, so i dont know
0:40, THAT EDIT SLAPS. music choice and everything. I can't even describe how fucking hype it is.
The editor's are awesome.. they always throw in the funniest skits/one liners that make the show just that much more entertaining
Yeah the editors for hoonigan and donut are 2 sets of people that I love for the pure quality they make these videos with haha
I hope to see more old Volvos on here someday. 240/740/940 are mean sleepers with their original engine turned up and they have space for all kinds of swaps!
👊
@John Daley really up to opinion. All have very similar drivetrains
@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.
Growing up in the Finnish car scene means i have seen about everything that can be done with these and i still think this is my favourite one

Straight up one of my dream cars right there
Yeah, I’d love to have an Amazon to track every now and then!
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
even that hood exists in game
The smile said it all lol, the pure, unfiltered joy was contagious
I've been dreaming of a build like this ever since I saw the 1320 video about the stockholm open 😍
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 👍🏼👍🏼
This puts a smile on my face.
oh man his smiles
makes me happy too
The joy you get just from drifting in Hoonigan Yard is awesome 👏🏽
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
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.
It's impossible to drive that car and not have a mile-wide smile on your face
Rad car, cool dude, great energy from the whole crew. happy video.
DO MORE VOLVOS THEY DESERVE LOVE
Damn, i absolutely love this thing! One of my all time favorites of all the cars that have been on the show for sure! 🤩👌
That Volvo is sick af
I drive by Bells and Vaughn every day on the way home and see this thing all the time. So cool!
As a swede i LOVE this 😍
This is automotive porn for me
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.
I love old volvos and this one is even better. Shant is a cool guy too.
That's awsome!! Dude was having a blast in his car!! That's was the best
The enjoyment on dudez face says it all. Don’t need much to have fun in a cool car. Very nice build and shred
Love seeing this type of old school style with modern style mix. Badass ride 🤙🏼✊🏼
That song brought me back. There was a song in the 80s 90s that had that sample "this is a journey into sound"
Wow, i didnt know Volvo used to make masterpieces back then. 👌🏽
This is the definition of clean and simple..
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?
Get the bad boy running. Would love to see it. Much love.
@@philipmorris1651 runs just fine, I just wanted to confirm that it was still a lot of fun. I was just sideways for about 4 out the 5 miles of dirt road... I might want to think about caging this thing, I'm going to slide it into the trees one of these days.... it's bound to happen
@@FreeEricBrandt that is bad ass bro. I would love to see that turbo rip it sideways. Been a big fan of turbos for a long time. Awesome you have such a sick ride bro. Again much love fam.
@@philipmorris1651 you too sir. Have a great day
that was a sick build. Looks so good.
thats so rad man this dude just out here having fun with his project. so badass.
This dude has an eye for something special. Taking chances that pay off huge, that's something to respect there.
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!
this car is super F'n cool... wish there were more builds like this
Awesome car! Thanks for sharing!
whole car is amazing, crazy ass set up
i was the first one to have model 3 wheels on my FC and I love seeing them on everything else!
No I was the first.
3:15 "...... Integra front spoiler!"
Nads: Honda!!!!
Dog: Squirrel!!!!
What a sweet old Volvo. I love it.
Beautiful build and something you won't see often
I chat with this gentleman and saw it run at Irwindale Dragway. It is sucha sweet ride, and he's a nice guy/
Love this lil car, I first saw it on hoonigan auto focus with Larry and thought it was a bad lil oddball of a car. Plus it sounds absolutely amazing and it RIPS!!!
This Volvo gives me serious “Metal Maniacs car in the works” vibes. I love it. :3
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.
What a sick build.
What an awesome build
a volvo 122 wagon is one of the many dream cars 😩
My man was having such a good time best car ever
YES!! this has always been a dream build. Find one in a barn for cheap, and LS swap it.
That Volvo is a thing of beauty. But, Lada build when?
Nice ride. And it's not a crazy build. An everyman hotrod. Gotta love it 👍👍
One of my dream cars!
Restomod 👍 done just fine 👌 Clean looking
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 👍
Such a cool build 👏🏽
What a great build
Damn, that thing is awesome. Looks like it would be a blast to drive through the twisties.
Great job on a very cool car!
Microwaved honey buns are a God send!!!
Beautiful build!
Love this bodystyle Volvo, the wagons are even better!!
How I miss you guys uploading all the time. Hell yeah buddy!!
Sweet ride!!! And the interior still looks nice.
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.
Corvair bumpers save the day! The car looks great and it sounds amazing.
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.
Love that car, very clean my man!
this thing is bad ass!! we need more old school restos
These cars are so bad ass I love them I had a 67 was my project car years ago wish I still had it sold it long time ago now there worth a lot 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍
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.
Working on a T5 one here in us it’s a wagon
@@forslagprojectcrazy8107 That's a cool project.
That's become a bucket list car. The small touches he made turned it into a UNIT.
this i why i love cars so much
This is by far one of the sickest cars featured on the channel
My favourite car to feature on Hoon! 😍
seen q few in the rally scean but my favourite is guy Martins (famous TT racer, and uk tv show extraordinaire) volvo VOX amazon estate (station wagon) was at sema in 2006, 2.4lt 5 cylinder volvo engine from a T5 over 1000hp. Look it up its beautiful 😍.
the smile on his face when he’s shredding it is priceless
What a cool oddball ride
Might not have been the most glorious of burnyard burnouts but holy moly, she does light up those rear tires pretty quick.
Finally some frickin volvo content!
He looked so happy slidding that thing
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
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
Looks beautiful nice and clean
This car is beautiful. 9:04 the smile says it all!
Hert looks like he's lost a little bit of weight. Looking good, Hert!
stem-fast,
I just got myself one of these last weekend mine being a 67 and even though mine hasn’t been registered since 86 it started up first crank and runs like a top
one of my favorite classic Volvo builds...
well... I haven't seen any other classic Volvo builds so... yeah 😅
Awesome Build!, regards from Sweden the home of the mighty Amazon.. ;)
Seriously, those mods look Soooooo good on that model.
Badass ride!
