Here up for bids on eBay is this well cared for Volvo 1800ES. I am the second owner as the car was purchased in Kentucky. Always garaged, this car is a textbook example of what happens when caring stewardship meets Volvo build quality. When treated right, these cars will last forever. Only 8,000 were built in 1973 (the only year of the 1800ES production) and it is estimated that fewer than 1,000 have survived worldwide. And, only about 500 were made in this original Teal color. This car is a frame up restoration with everything in the engine rebuilt (engine was removed to a bench where every part was inspected and replaced). I had everything from shocks to brakes replaced with new Volvo parts. The full cosmetic and mechanical restoration was done in 2007 and it has about 6,000 miles as driven. It is fully sorted and road ready, a no-needs car that is sure to provide the new owner with many miles of enjoyable motoring. The car has had an exceptional repaint in its original color of Teal. The paint and other codes are shown in the photos. Weather stripping has been replaced so it runs very quietly. All of the glass is in great shape. It has new tires all around. All of the bright work is original to the car and still in good condition. The bumpers have never been rechromed, they show some slight hazing but no pitting or deterioration. The trunk carries the factory jacking equipment and tool kit, the original tire, and spare wheel. Carpeting is original and in fantastic condition. Important to some, the radio is original AM/FM and works terrific. The rear speakers and grills are in perfect original condition. Headliner is also in perfect condition. And, the clock keeps perfect time. All electrical items are working correctly in this car - horn, wipers, signals, lights, rear defogger, etc. - no electrical issues to chase down. This is an AC equipped car that was reconditioned and blows very cold. The heater and defroster work excellent. As you would imagine, the car is fantastic on the road. Starts easily and runs like a watch. The car runs cool, brakes well, handles great (complete suspension rebuild at restoration), and has plenty of power on tap. This is an Automatic transmission (original) that shifts smoothly and has a great overdrive for passing. The injectors were heat wrapped for smooth starts and cool power making freeway driving a breeze. Some cars look good and some cars drive good - this one does both. Complete set of original manuals and service guides. NOTE: More photos are available upon request.
