This is a good daily driver. There has been a repaint at some time before I purchased the car. It is fair but the engine bay and door jams were not sprayed. The motor is the original B30A with twin Zenith-Stromberg 175CD. The motor runs well, it does need some adjustment to the manual choke for improved cold starts. The 3 speed Borg-Warner automatic transmission is, well, the 3 spd BW and a little doggy. The transmission likely needs work but has not let me down. I drive the car 50 miles daily. New tires (5,000 miles) on rare 780 Bertone series wheels. I do have the original steel wheels and caps included with car. The interior is original. The previous owner had the leather seats reconditioned and re-dyed. The carpet has also been re-dyed. Overall the interior is in good shape for 44 years. All dash gauges and components work. The Original volvo radio in place and functional with the exception of being able to tune the lower end of the dial. There has been some body work in the past. I suspect body filler on the rear quarters. I do not have the history however. The car is registered with the Swedish 164 Registry - additional historic information on the car may be available with some detective work. I have owned the car for a year and enjoyed daily use while my '72 164E w/ M410-OD has gotten it's rebuild. I had originally intended to restore both cars but that option no longer seems practical and I am not willing to scavenge parts from this car.
