Car description |
---|
A bidder asked for me to check a few things. He wanted pictures of the dash which are now posted for you to review. Additionally, e asked the condition of the headliner. It's in great shape as you can see from that picture. His final question was if the car has overdrive. The answer is yes. So the gearbox is a 4 speed with overdrive. Honestly, 've never used it and didn't know it existed. Driving it around town and a few trips through the mountains here in WV never gave me an opportunity to even explore overdrive. I'll try to take the car out this weekend before the auction ends and try it out. Hopefully I can post some additional positive information to enhance this car.

These pictures are representative of everything under the car. I did find one exception on the left front frame horn. There is a drain hole forward of the steering box and behind the LF bumper that clogged, eld water, nd rusted out to the size of a quarter. The lower portion around it is rusty and it extends up the side about 1".This is the only area needing repair that I can find on the entire undercarriage. I feel it should be repaired because one of the steering box bolts goes through the frame in that area and it would make sense to reinforce it.
Also I have pictures of both sides front and rear underneath, s well as pictures of new fuel pump and filter, nd some of the exhaust. All of the exhaust is used but looks good. Some of the plating on the underside of the exhaust tips is missing.Overall, ery little to address considering the car is 45 years old.On May-21-15 at 07:39:26 PDT, eller added the following information:I had a bidder ask about a few of the electrical components.
Lights workTurn signals workBrake lights workRadio worksRF park light needs a new bulb since the turn signal works but it doesn't . All the rest do. This is easy, 'll just replace it.LF Headlight bulb is out. I'll look for one and replace it if I can find it over the next few days. If not, ou'll need to.I recorded one minute of engine running and will try to see how to post it to YouTube. If I can't I'll just say the engine idles smooth at 1100 rpm, nd throttle response is effortless. Sounds great.On May-21-15 at 09:09:45 PDT, eller added the following information:I just posted a video of the engine running on YouTube for bidders to review. It's titled "Volvo 1800e engine video" Tom Westbrook
On May-23-15 at 13:06:52 PDT, eller added the following information:Took car out this morning. Accelerated to 50 mph. Pushed Overdrive lever down an it shifted smooth and engine rpm dropped. Lifted lever up and it shifted back into 4th. Made a YouTube Video of driving the car so you could see it run. I'm happy but my video uploading skills are terrible. If you'd like to see it, ontact me and we'll find a way to get it to you.
On May-24-15 at 11:06:59 PDT, eller added the following information:I had a bidder ask me to mention that the tires have age and may not be safe. I'd recommend that the successful bidder transport the car until they have an opportunity to have it inspected and confirm if any issues exist that may be required to pass their state inspection.
On May-24-15 at 11:21:11 PDT, eller added the following information:With so many people watching this, hope I've answered just about everything. Horn..works, replaced park lamp that was out, eadlight bulb is on the way, auges..work, mergency light ..works, ipers...work. In summary, lmost everything I've been asked to test works. However, t's an unrestored car. Therefore it has to be sold as is and with no warranty as the listing says.
