A 1971 Volvo 1800E, commonly called a “P1800”. Volvo made 39,407 coupes between 1961 and 1972. It is a front engine, RWD 2+2.

Yes! Claire picked it up from her dad in 2021. He bought it in 1999.

This is the car she learned to drive in…. and drives at least weekly. Odometer currently over 275,000.

Bryan has cleaned up the timing, all fluids, replaced the steering and overdrive seals, and gotten the (original dealer installed) AC running well enough to keep up with Dallas summers.

2L 4 cylinder engine, overhead valves, 5 bearing crankshaft, around 130 hp.

Manual 4 speed with electric O/D

4 wheel power assisted discs brakes

GVW 2,460 lbs (and no power steering)

Lucas gauges (everything works but the clock)

A full restoration, when I can convince Claire to hand over the keys for a couple of years.
