5k: Ice Racer: 1966 Volvo 121 Amazon

The Volvo 121/122S/123GT was first introduced in 1956 as the Volvo Amason, named after the female Greek warriors in legends.  However, a small German motorcycle company owned the rights to the name and negotiated with Volvo to change the name to Amazon and only use it in Sweden -- the rest of the world it would be called the 121.   Regardless, the Amazon turned out to be a solidly built classic that was used for family transporation by generations of Swedes, the 121 was used by lots of other folks for mundane tasks, but this one was turned into an ice racer.  Find this 1966 Volvo 121 Amazon offered for $3,999 buy-it-now on ebay in Copenhagen, Denmark with 5 days to go.
