The car is not running. My mechanic did get it running briefly but it probably needs a new fuel injection. The passenger seat and the dash board do have cracks. This car has all of its original parts and only one owner, I have the title as well. The car was my dads and there is a photo of him enjoying the Volvo in its best years. In the autumn of 1971, a new version of Volvo's famous 1800 model was presented. The new version was called the 1800ES. The 1800ES had a newly designed rear end compared with the previous versions of the 1800. The roofline had been extended and the car had a profile that was more reminiscent of an estate. The 1800ES had increased luggage capacity to provide extra space for golfing or hunting equipment. The ES was very well received, especially in the important US market, where journalists praised the car's practicality and loved the elegant rear glass and clever hatch. Volvo cleverly advertised it as “sort of a flying trunk”, and from 1972 it was the only body style offered for their gorgeous 1800. 8,078 P1800ES's were built and, just like the coupe versions, they make fantastic vintage automobiles that are rugged and reliable in addition to being fun to drive and great to look at.
