This Volvo was rescued from a damp Warehouse in Houston Texas. At some point this car underwent some form of restoration. The interior, while not completely factory stock, is complete. It’s a good driver and needs someone to take it to the next level. Over $8k invested on top of the purchase price.

Needs

- paint is fair but as can be seen in photos will need a respray
- Rust repair (overall what is expected w/ an 1800)- Rockers - Battery tray area (patched once before) - Door bottoms (potentially) - A few cross braces underneath have some rot - Floors are overall very solid but the passenger and driver foot wells need repair on the outside near fenders
- Trunk area floor will need some patching. Rust stopper was applied and temporary patches put in to seal things off. This was not intended to be a long term solution as there was no attempt to hide it.
