Vehicle Detail

Offered only to the true collector of classic automobiles. I am the second owner of this collectible classic having purchased it in 1974 from Torvick Volvo in Santa Rosa, California. It has always been garaged, always been a California car and faithfully maintained as a Volvo Club of America and Volvo Sports America member. It has never suffered worse than parking lot dings in its nearly 40 year history. After a 3 year, frame-off rebuild and meticulous restoration, it won Second Place in the Volvo National Meet in the 1800ES Stock Class. To the highest level possible, all replacement parts are Genuine Volvo. It is with great pride that I offer it to its next proud owner for preservation of this increasingly rare model. The rebuild and restoration effort included the following. Complete dismantling of body trim parts, bumpers, lights and mirrorsRemoval of all glass, weatherstripping and windlaceRemoval of all interior components, headliner, seats, carpeting, instruments and dash panelsRemoval of engine, transmission and differentialRemoval of front and rear suspensions arms, shock absorbers and coil springsComplete interior and exterior body restoration of the slightest imperfections utilizing the highest quality materials and techniques Meticulous cleaning and recoating of all undercarriage and suspension componentsHighest quality BASF hardened Urethane coating, color matched perfectly to the original Volvo specificationsPowder coated steel wheels with original equipment Volvo trim rings Total engine rebuilding, ten-thousandths overbore, ALL NEW - valves, springs, hardened seats, seals, guides, push rods, pistons, rings, bearings, camshaft, front and rear seals, timing gear, oil pump, water pump, thermostat, fuel injectors, filters, gaskets, hoses and lines Total suspension rebuild, ALL NEW - bushings, shocks, rear springs, bearings and seals New brake lines, pads and seals, master cylinder and rebuilt wheel cylinders Completely restored and repaired radiator and heater core, new heater valves and restored controls Complete fuel system restoration, new electric fuel pump and filters Highest quality restoration and triple plating of all chromed parts, bumpers, front air intake ring and headlight rings New Volvo bumper rubber mouldings New Volvo windshield Complete replacement of all, with new Volvo rubber weatherstripping, window seals and door windlace, hood seal, rear hatch seal, headlamp and taillamp assemblies seals All new stainless steel side spear trim moldings New chrome exhaust tips New side view mirrors TOTAL INTERIOR RESTORATION New, all leather bucket seats New replacement upper and lower dash pads All instrumentation removed, dismantled, cleaned, serviced and restored Original Volvo carpeting cleaned and restored over new heat and sound shield Original Volvo headliner cleaned and restored Original Volvo window glass cleaned and restored in new Volvo weatherstripping and seals All original Volvo lamp and light assemblies cleaned and restored with new rubber seals and bulbs The restoration has successfully undergone approximately 500 mile break-in of the new engine and rebuild and performs flawlessly.It has been fully maintained in a temperature and humidity controlled environment and driven only to special events.
