I swear, if I had the garage space I would fly up and bring this one home. Volvos always held a special place in my heart. Like the ugly puppy at the pound, you just gotta love them.

Wow, I've never seen one of these before. Those seats are wild :) I also love the instrumentation and the odd slant of the roof. Pretty cool find! Make an offer and see what they say :)

Saw more than a few of these ugly buggers in junkyards by the early 90s.

Me, I wouldn't mind a P1800S. (Hatch version of the P1800.) Volvo fans always claim they are incredibly durable.

Is that one a diesel? I learned quite a few old Volvo's ran on diesel, which I admittedly wonder why.

It's K-Jet, so I would say no. :)

I dare say you'd have a hard time running diesel thru that PRV :)

Guess it wasn't you :( Not surprised really, it was awesome in that quirky weird kind of way. Hope it goes to a good home!
