Hey Tony, Judging by the B18 badge on the grill, and reading into the Amazon series, I assumed it was likely a 123GT with an 1800cc motor, featured from 1967-69 in between the B16 and B20 series engines.
The b18 engine was introduced in 1962 in the Amazon 121,122s and was replaced by the b20 engine in 1969! The Amazon GT/123GT was in production between 1967-69 Find out more about the Volvo Amazon at the Swedish Volvo Amazon Club: http://www.amazonklubben.se

Love seeing this car - Ours had leather interior, a rebuilt engine and steel belted radial tires. We had it painted a royal blue - it was a real beauty!
Best of OPC.

street peep beat us to it on this one.
not that it's the first or only time.
not sure why they call it a gt... unless they have inside info on the thing?
i've always wanted to do this to a car, but in a full rainbow of panels.
It looks not unlike an old swedish police car in that colour scheme...
