1971 Volvo P1800E Description

HI I AM SELLING MY 1971 VOLVO P1800 COUPE. THIS CAR RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL B20E ENGINE. IT ALSO HAS ITS ORIGINAL 4 SPEED TRANSMISSION WITH THE FACTORY LAYCOCK OVERDRIVE. THE ENGINE ALSO HAS BOSCH D-JETRONIC FUEL INJECTION. THE CAR STARTS RIGHT UP EVERYTIME AND RUNS DOWN THE ROAD WITH NO ISSUES. THE ENGINE RUNS STRONG AND THERE ARE NO OVERHEATING ISSUES. THE CLUTCH FEELS GOOD AND DOES NOT SLIP OR HAVE ANY FUNNY ISSUES. THE TRANS SHIFTS SMOOTH AND THERE ARE NO SINCRO NOISES.
THE EXTERIOR IS IN GREAT CONDITION. ALL OF THE BODY PANELS LINE UP AS MANUFACTURED. THE CAR DOES NOT SHOW ANY SIGNS OF A PREVIOUS ACCIDENTS. THERE ARE NO WAVES AT ALL WHEN YOU LOOK DOWN THE BODY SIDES. THE CAR WAS REPAINTED TO A VERY HIGH QUALITY A FEW YEARS AGO. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF RUST AND DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY BODY FILLER. THERE IS NOT A DROP OF OVER SPRAY ON THE CAR WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE ENTIRE CAR WAS DISMANTLED BEFORE IT WAS PAINTED.THERE APPEARS THAT A BATTERY DRIPPED SOME BATTERY ACID ON THE PASSENGER FENDER AS DISPLAYED IN THE PICTURES. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT ALL THE RUBBER WAS REPLACED AS ITS NEW. I REPLACES MOST OF THE CHROME MOLDINGS EXCEPT BOTH DOORS AS THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER AND DO NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY ARE $140 FOR BOTH. THE BUMPERS WHILE BEING STRAIGHT AND DO NOT HAVE ANY DENTS ARE IN FAIR CONDITION.
THE INTERIOR IS ALSO IN GREAT CONDITION OVERALL. THE SEATS DO NOT HAVE ANY RIPS OR TEARS IN THEM AND DO NOT SHOW ANY WEAR. I AM ASSUMING THEY WERE RECOVERED AT SOME POINT BUT LOOK TO BE CORRECT. THE CARPET LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT SOME TIME AND APPEARS TO BE PERIOD CORRECT. THE DASH HAS THE USUAL CRACKS THAT THESE MODELS GENERALLY HAVE. THE HEADLINER ALSO MUST HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT SOME POINT AS IT IS VERY NICE. THE DOOR PANELS ARE IN GREAT CONDITION AND ARE ORININAL AS THEY STILL HAVE THE VOLVO INSIGNIAS IN THEM AND THEY DONT SHOW ANY WEAR. ALL THE DIALS ARE IN GREAT CONDITION AND THEY ALL WORK EXCEPT THE TEMP GAGE AS I THINK ITS GROUNDED IT GOES RIGHT TO HOT WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY TO ON. THE WOOD GRAIN IS PERFECT THERE ARE NO TEARS IN IT AND SHOWS REALLY WELL.THE STEERING WHEEL HAS BEEN REPLACED TO A SMALLER GRANT WHEEL TO ALLOW FOR MORE DRIVERS ROOM BUT THE ORIGINAL WHEEL IS INCLUDED IN THE SALE.
I HAVE TAKEN CLOSE UP PICTURES OF THE CAR TO SHOW THERE ARE NO RUST ISSUES. I ALSO HAVE INCLUDED PICTURES OF THE UNDER CARRIAGE TO SHOW THERE IS ONLY MINOR SURFACE RUST THERE. OVERALL THIS IS A GREAT CAR. AGAIN THIS CAR HAS THE OPTIONAL N15 INCH WHEELS, FACTORY AIR CONDITIONIND THAT WORKS, FACTORY FUEL INJECTION AND FACTORY OVERDRIVE.
