YOUR NEXT PROJECT: ONE OF 8077 1973 VOLVO P1800ES - RARE MODEL..........MY HUSBAND HAS TOO MANY PROJECTS AND CAN'T GET TO THIS ONE.............COMPLETE AND RESTORABLE. AS IS. ODOMETER READING IS NOT WARRANTED. GREAT PROJECT OR PARTS CAR. Manufactured toward the end of 1971, the Volvo 1800ES was an updated model of the Volvo P1800, which was launched in 1961. Few changes were made in the exterior of the 1800ES, such as the addition of the passable back seat. This model is a rear-wheel drive and the engine is located at the front. The engine used in the Volvo P1800ES was almost the same as that of its predecessor, an I4 B20B engine with solid valve lifter generating 130 BHP at the rate of 6000 RPM. The engine has displacement of 1986 cc and torque of 130 ft-lbs at 3500 RPM. With a total weight of 2456 lbs, the Volvo 1800ES measures 173.301 inches x 67.001 inches x 50.501 inches. The compression ratio of the Volvo 1800ES is 10.5:1, whereas the bore x stroke ratio is 3.50 inches x 3.15 inches. The 1800ES is equipped with four cylinders, with two valves per cylinder. The broad wheelbase of 98.601 inches and 5 main bearing combined with 12 volt electronic Bosch fuel injected engine makes for sturdy, but high-speed rides. The four-speed manual transmission helps shift speeds smoothly. The built-in cam and roller steering and comfortable leather seats enhance the interior of the Volvo 1800ES. The car has a chassis and trim similar to its predecessor, the Volvo 1800S, however, without the side spear. The first model of the Volvo 1800 series was the P1800, which gained popularity because of the television show, 'The Saint', starring Roger Moore. The vehicle was introduced with the 1.8-liter B18 engine, which could zoom from 0-60 mph in just around 13 seconds.
