Volvo 164
1969-1975 Volvo 164
- Four door sedan only
- Sold in the USA from 1969 through 1975 model year
- All 164 models have inline straight 6 cylinder engines.
- Dual carbs were standard up to 1971 when Bosch D-Jetronic electronic fuel injection became an option.
The 164 is essentially a luxury version of the 140 series intended to compete with BMW and Mercedes. The main body structure was the same as the 140 but the nose and wheel base was stretched to accommodate the longer 6 cylinder engine. The styling and trim was a bit nicer than the 140 series.
Most USA 164 models were equipped with a BW35 three speed automatic transmission but there were also some rare manual transmission models in circulation.
Model information is based on the USA vehicle market. Other model variations may exist outside the USA.
