- In today's video, join me on a 700-mile road trip in a hilariously old Volvo Amazon wagon to drink beer in a field and heckle my friends while they try to fix cars.

I think this Volvo will even make 7000 miles!
What an absolute treat of a roadtrip!
#1 I learned that 242 and 244 have a different piece of trim around the sunroof crank.
#2 I learned our friend circle still buys beaters to tow their clapped out projects
#3 I learned b16s and B18s don't use the same mounts
Thanks for getting out in your garage and fixing something!
B16's are different from B18's, and PV's are different from Amazons, and from 140's to. So yeah, Nick needs B18 PV mounts.
@@johnmcraven3598 everything is just a little different!
Awesome video hopefully you will enjoy that car for years to come!
Our neighbor had a 63 or 64 2-door and once the body completely rotted away from rust, he pulled the engine and transmission out and put it in a newer used Volvo and their kids drove it through college. It just wouldn't die.
Looks like I sold it to the right man.. That's exactly what I would have done to it. Thanks, I enjoy the videos.

PS I think I found another set of keys for it.
Hey Terry! Appreciate you checking in on it. I’ll get together with you on the keys before long.
holy hell... that turn around time on this video...
Damn good car indeed.
Wish we got the clip of kyle riding the wheelie up the hill on the tractor.
or me dropping the exhaust 🤣
Very cool channel of saving old Swedish steel
Very inspirational. If I ever finish my Amazon the plan is to just drive it 12 miles into town and back, but maybe now I'll be inspired to go another 20 miles or so to Franklin..... Wonder about the roll pin. The only ones that come to mind hold the shift forks to the shift shafts and if the gearbox works fine maybe it was just a lazy mechanic who dropped one and didn't want to take things all apart again to find and retrieve it, so he found a spare to plug the hole with...
That’s my hope on the roll pin. I figure the only ones in the transmission are fairly important and their absence would be obvious.
I’m going to be putting the M41 in this car pretty quickly. The lack of overdrive at highway speeds is quite the annoyance. Feel free to email me at thebenchracingnetwork@gmail.com, I’d love to meet up sometime.
@@benchracing_network I will do that when things calm down a bit here. I've been away from home for a couple of weeks at a bedside vigil with my wife at her dying dad's side. Something we all have to face eventually. :(
@@103erik sorry to hear that. Hope you and yours find comfort.
@benchracing_network Green Bay, Wisconsin? If so I live another 2.5 hours northeast of there in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan myself 😂😂
@@carlbernard4197 yep, just got home actually.
Wow, your Amazon Combi is doing fine, great car, after all your hard work to make it running again
Well done. I really enjoyed the video. Nice to see all your hard work is rolling down the road.
Fix your steering wheel with bondo,easy peasy
Might try that!
I really absolutely positively need a clone of that roof box. Was that a legitimate Uhaul product at one time?
Yes! I’ll do a video on it, I think they’re from the late 60s and 70s. I’ve been searching for one for years and finally got lucky.
@@benchracing_network Please do. I feel like that's a piece of Americana that needs highlighting.
I've driven my modified b20 high compression 122 about 200km from home and the alternator bracket snapped. Can't quite get the nicely made bracket to survive. Unfortunately. I did fix it and drive home. 4500rpm of twin Weber's and extractors for two hours isn't fun.
❤
Enjoyed the nice video but you drive too fast for me.
The speedometer reads 30-40mph fast
Not sn American car / no problem whatsoever
