- THE CAR OFFERED
According to the ID tag and factory Warranty & Service Booklet on file, this lovely single-owner, California 'Blue Plate' car was completed in March of 1970, originally finished in California White (code 42) with Red leather interior (code 327-625). It was sold new via Auto Martin, Ltd. in Grants Pass, Oregon, on June 7, 1970 to Mr. and Mrs. Dahl of Eureka, California who made the 166-mile trek from their home to pick up their beloved Volvo - a treasure they would cherish until now.
This Volvo is reported to have had just one respray in its original California White, while the unrestored red interior is remarkably well-kept, and the factory rubber trunk mat and spare tire/cover are intact. The car retains its original Smiths gauges showing and even the factory Volvo/Bendix transistor radio is in place. Five-spoke alloy 'Clover' wheels, specific to 1970-1971 cars and standard on the 1800E, round out the car's sporty aesthetic. With its original engine still fitted, this Swedish icon is a rare, and remarkably preserved.
Recently serviced, this Volvo is now ready for only its second caretaker in 54 years. It comes to market showing just 130k miles with its original books, spare tire, and jack, and it represents an exciting opportunity to obtain a rare preservation-quality example of the most refined iteration for the P1800 series.
