Volvo : P1800 ES 1973 Volvo P1800 ES Wagon - fuel injected

PLEASE READ ENTIRE LISTING

1973 Volvo P1800 SE, 4 cyclinder fuel injected.  Car starts but won't idle without help.  Leaking brake fliud from drivers side front.  I have not attempted to repair either of the problems.  Car comes with clear Ontario ownership.

Car looks to be in good shape for a 1973. I didn't even clean it for the pictures.  It has been painted sometime in the past, still looks decent but has bubbles here and there.  Interior is nice, seats are comforable.  No broken glass, I absolutely love the look of this car, my wife on the other hand thinks it looks like a bar of soap.

I'm more of an american car guy, and don't know too much about these, but if you want me too look at something for you, shoot me an email.  If you want to have a look, please contact me.

Everything is for sale on other venues, so I reserve the right to end auction at any time. 

Ideally I'd like an offer in the $6000 range for this auction, the 1965 auction and all the parts.  This listing is for the 1973 Volvo P1800 only.  It does not include the other auction or parts mentioned.

I  think the reserve is low, but if you only have a $1000 to spend, this car is not for you.  If you have less than 10 positive feedbacks, please contact me before bidding.

Deposit of $500 due within 48 hours, full amount within 7 days. 

Please do not bid unless serious as I may remove reserve at anytime.  If you are unsure about your funding - DO NOT BID.   I also reserve the right to end auction at anytime.

Please read the questions and answers as well, someone else may have asked the same question you have in mind.

I finally got to get under and take a better look today.  The previous owner attempted to repair floors, however just uesd sheet metal and not proper pans.  Rear wheel wells have also been previously repaired.   Job does the trick, but not a professional job.  Looking through the front wheel wells, near the very front of the car near the top, it should get some attention as well.

Sorry no pics, but welcome to come see it.   I personally still consider this an easy project, however everyones ability various, there is some welding required and given its 35 years old there will likely be some surprises along the way.  Interior is nice, no visible tears in front seats.

Here are the questions from last listing.  Note the current reserve is lower than previous listing.

Question & Answer Answered On

Q:  hej my name is john, i am interested in your car, so if your reverse price is not passed , you can male me a price. can you arrange shipments to denmark please e-mail me. 23-Apr-08 A:  Hi, the reserve is $2500, unfortunetly I do not have the time to make those arrangements. Q:  It appears to have a sun roof. Is that an "aftermarket" sunroof? 22-Apr-08 A:  Hi, it does have a sunroof, not sure if it aftermarket or not. The car is in a different location than my house, if I get there later I will check for you and post in listing. I do know that if it is aftermarket, it was a tidy job as nothing looked hacked or out of place. If you live close, i may be able to arrange for you to see the car. But we are almost out of time. Q:  i keep meaning to ask, is any part of the dash cracked seperated or has been repaired as you can tell? thanks again bucelato... 20-Apr-08 A:  I will check, seem to remember that there was though above cluster. Q:  Hi - This is an interesting car. Sometimes on these the floor tends to rust out, especially under the driver's side carpet, because of water leaks Could you tell me please what the condition of the floor and rocker panels is rustwise? Thanks for your consideration, Mike Leeds 18-Apr-08 A:  Rocker panels don't look bad, floors will need work. Q:  hi, 08, i think they are great looking cars... but... are the inner rockers clean? are the wheel wells of the rear tires, solid? when you drove this car was the clutch good, the seats should be leather, are they in good shape no holes or rips...the back seats... good shape? i dont think any one ever sat in the back of these cars.. iam very interested, if you give me your tel. i will call, and we can talk... thanks steve bucelato 16-Apr-08 A:  HI, the car looks decent everywhere, I don't own a hoist but just looking under, it seems ok. Rear wheel wells look solid, but not sure if they have been previously repaired or not. I have never actually drove the car. I bought it recently, knowing that about the brake thing and the idling thing. Seats are good.

I also have a 1970 B20 complete motor, I was told it was a race engine but have no way to confirm this.  A 1965 P1800 motor less carbs and intake and a 1965 P1800 tranny.  Again to be included in a package deal only and not in this auction.  I will add pics in the above link in the next day or so.

Also, please NO EMAILS FOR PARTS, if not sold in a package deal I will be taking to a local swap meet in june and likely not sold through Ebay.

Have added alink in case you need some motivational pictures!
