Custom 1966 Volvo P1800s
At 50 years old, this car has been built to last another 50. I'm only selling it due to my permanent relocation overseas. I'm leaving the country August 5th, and am more likely to give a deal before then. If you're interested, let me know.Currently registered in California, insured and with a clean title.
A few quick highlights:
Custom engine built by Phil Singer, the top vintage Volvo engine builder: B20 engine 0.040" overbore and head flow ported. Ross Racing pistons and a Volvo "D" camshaft.
All new upholstery by Santiago Gil, one of the best in Los Angeles.
New custom paint and body work, from bare metal.
Custom wheel fitment by Jewel Tire.
Garage stored always.
All machine work done by Vellios Machine Shop - true experts.
This car has been completely rebuilt. Here is a partial list of the many things that have been done:
Progressive Springs from V-Performance
All suspension bushings replaced with polyurethane and rubber
All new tie rods and ball joints
New KYB shocks front and rear
Custom idler arm bush designed and made by Vellios Machine Shop
New motor and transmission mounts
Sachsclutchkit balanced to flywheel
Aligned by Lee's Automotive
Crossmember reinforced at shock mounts, stripped and powder coated
Rebuilt starter motor and alternator at Rotex
Radiator tested and repaired by Crandal Radiator; new radiator cap
New PIAA dual-tone horn
All new upholstery: seats to original design, floor and trunk matts, door panels
Interior completely covered with Dynamat to deaden sound before re-upholstery
All instruments repaired/rebuild
Brake system rebuilt. New front brake calipers, front rotors, new pads front and back, new flex lines and rear brake cables, rear brake drums, rear cylinders, rear limit straps.
New master cylinder and Powertune/Lockheed brake booster
Rear brake proportioning valve rebuilt, new seals
New drive shaft U-joints
New gaskets throughout
Carburetor cleaned and tuned by California Carburetor
Engine bay cleaned, rust removed and repainted
All rubber seals replaced: windows, doors, hood, trunk and bumper, foot pedals, shifter, firewall, etc.
New, modern tires - Michelin Premier A/S 195/65R15
Custom wheel fitment - Katana TM1 by Jewel Tire
Trim and bumpers powder coated gloss black by Verne's Chrome
New side window channel felt and scrapers
New front windshield
Extra set of keys made. Keylocks matched.
New exhaust pipe and mufflers, new rubber hangers
Gas tank cleaned and lined by Gardena A/C & Radiator Service
Exhaust header Ceramic coated for reduced heat in engine bay
Steering wheel leather wrapped by Amadeus Upholstery
New steering coupler
Windows tinted to 35%
New satin car cover
Here are some things that could still be done to the car:
Install audio system
Install air conditioning
Install electronic ignition and have carburetors rebuilt.This would net a small improvement in power and idle, but probably isn't worth the cost.
Get black California plates.
Damp a few minor interior rattles.
This car has been completely disassembled, repaired and rebuilt with the utmost care. The above list does not include the many, many little parts that had to be replaced or repaired along the way. I hope you will appreciate it as much as I have.
