1973 VOLVO P1800 ES WAGON, THE RARE AND COOL SPORT WAGON VOLVO BUILT FOR ONLY A FEW YEARS. I SOLD THIS P1800 ON EBAY A FEW WEEKS AGO BUT THE BUYER LIED ABOUT HAVING SENT PAYMENT FOR THE CAR SO IT'S UP FOR SALE AGAIN, PLEASE DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR THE CAR!!! I BOUGHT THE CAR FOR MY WIFE, WE BOTH LOVE THE P1800 ES WAGONS BUT SHE TRIED DRIVING A STICK SHIFT CAR AND IT SCARED HES AND SHE DOES NOT WANT TO LEARN TO DRIVE A MANUAL TRANS CAR. THE P1800 HAS HAD THE SAME OWNER HERE IN SUNNY AND DRY PHOENIX, ARIZONA THE LAST 22-23 YEARS BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT. THIS P1800 ES CAME WITH FACTORY A/C, BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR, POWER BRAKES, TINTED GLASS AND A ROOF RACK. THE A/C WAS REMOVED WHEN THE ENGINE WAS PULLED FOR REBUILD BUT IT IS STILL WITH THE CAR IN BOXES IN THE CARGO AREA. THE ORIGINAL B20 ENGINE WAS TOTALLY REBUILT ABOUT 16 YEARS AGO AND THE CAR WAS ONLY DRIVEN A SHORT TIME AFTER THAT AND IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN A GARAGE HERE IN ARIZONA SINCE THEN. A LOCAL SHOP, AUTO EUROPA THAT SPECIALIZE IN PORSCHE, VW, AUDI, BMW VOLVO AND MERCEDES REBUILT THE ENGINE AND THE FOLLOWING WAS DONE: NEW PISTONS WITH RINGS, NEW BEARINGS, NEW CAM SHAFT WITH BEARINGS, NEW TIMING GEARS, NEW LIFTERS, NEW OIL PUMP AND NEW OIL, FILTERS ETC. IN OTHER WORDS THE ENGINE WAS TOTALLY REBUILT. THE COST 16 YEARS AGO WAS $1819,52 AND THE ENGINE HAS VERY FEW MILES ON IT SINCE THEN. WE DID REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP AND STARTER RECENTLY AND NOW THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AIR PRESSURE SENSOR (SEE PICTURE) QUIT WORKING. THE CAR WILL START USING GAS OR ETHER IN THE INTAKE BUT IT WILL NOT RUN UNTIL THE SENSOR IS REPLACED. I AM DOING FRAME OFF RESTORATIONS ON 5 CARS AT WORK AND HAVE A BUNCH OF OTHER PROJECTS GOING AND DON'T WANT THE VOLVO TO SIT ANY LONGER, SO IT IS FOR SALE AS-IS. WE RECENTLY SPENT ABOUT $2000 ON A TOTAL REBUILD OF THE FRONT SEATS, STARTING WITH THE FRAMES, PADDING AND LEATHER IN EXCELLENT QUALITY. THE CARPET IN THE FRONT (NOT THE CARGO AREA) WAS REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME. THE DASH PADS ARE BOTH CRACKED (CAN BE BOUGHT NEW). THE BACK SEAT IS GOOD, HEADLINER IS GOOD AND DOORPANELS ARE ALSO GOOD. YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES HOW CLEAN AND NICE THE FLOOR IS. THE P1800'S WERE PRONE TO RUST, EVEN HERE IN ARIZONA THEY GET RUSTED. THIS CAR IS NOT TOTALLY RUST FREE BUT THERE IS NOT MUCH, BUBBLES UNDER THE PAINT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ROCKER PANEL, A LITTLE RUST BELOW THE REAR BUMPER AND BUBBLES IN ONE SPOT ON THE RIGHT ROCKER PANEL. VERY GOOD IN OTHER WORDS FOR AN OLD P1800. THE AREA BELOW THE REAR WINDOW THAT USUALLY GET RUSTED HAS ONE SPOT SMALLER THAN THE SIZE OF MY THUMB NAIL WITH LIGHT RUST, SEE PICTURES. WE ARE RUNNING IT WITH NO RESERVE SO THE HIGHEST BIDDER WILL GET THE VOLVO. THE ODOMETER HAS PROBABLY TURNED OVER ONCE BUT I DON'T REALLY KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE MILEAGE. WE CAN ARRANGE TRANSPORT TO PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE IN THE US OR IN THE WORLD AT BUYERS EXPENSE. WE SHIP CONTAINERS WITH CARS AND PARTS TO SWEDEN EVERY MONTH. $1000 DEPOSIT IN 24 HOURS THROUGH PAYPAL. THE BALANCE TO BE PAID WITHIN 7 DAYS OF THE END OF THE AUCTION. WE ACCEPT WIRE TRANSFERS, CASHIERS CHECKS AND PAYPAL.
