Classic Car Overview

1966 Volvo P1800S Coupe For consignment, a 1966 Volvo P1800S couple, owned by the same family since 1973. In 2013 the mechanics were refreshed by Doherty Automotive in West Chester, PA, a renowned shop in the area for foreign cars, especially Swedish and German. The P1800 model is also infamous for being the Guinness Book or World Record for most mileage with 3.2 million being recorded and verified. Exterior Five designers submitted their concepts for the P1800 coupe and the one chosen was actually a Swede, Pelle Peterson. That design, we now see our 1966 example bathed in Graphite Gray, has a front end with some British influence with its single round headlight on the end of the front quarters, and central chrome edged open wide oval grille, indicating perhaps some Italian influence which pervades. Some of the brightwork is in fine condition while other pieces could benefit from some restoration. As we tour visually back, we see a trim spear, high doors, well minded gaps and a slight wrap around windscreen. The roofline dives downward and has an aircraft influence and as it descends to the trunk line, it takes from the upper doors and runs a line rearward that will eventually form the rear quarters with a fin-like upper protrusion which will make a blunt point ending for the taillights on back. These lights are oval and flank an inward raking roll pan with a Volvo badge on the top and a shiny bumper below. A flat trunk lid is between these fins . 15-inch steel wheels wear proper Volvo hubcaps. Overall, the paint is very nice with minor imperfections that are limited to some bubbling on lower panels. Interior Some European influence with sleek black vinyl high back buckets and raised hip support tuck and roll inserts and Swedish cars are characteristically similar but also different and unique in their styling cues. The rear bench shows some wear where the tie down belts may rub with the seat backs down. The simple dash is headed by a 2 spoke steering wheel and blue accented gauges within the drivers sightline, along with a unique vertical set of gauges. We note the speedometers plastic face is cracked. The rest of the dash shows some patina with the exception of the Sony head unit which provides AM/FM/CD music in a modern way. A small shifter rises from the center hump on the floor and has a wood knob while being surrounded by stitched cloth panels that meet smooth mats on the floor. The headliner shows some usage but is intact. The trunk is clean and lined with a rubberized mat. Drivetrain Under the hood is a clean, driver quality presentation of a 1778cc inline 4 cylinder engine fueled by two SU carburetors, backed by a 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive which sends power to the rear wheels and 4.56 gears. Power disc brakes are up front and power drums in the rear. Receipts will come with the car to show the work to refresh the carbs, wires, hoses, gaskets, wheel cylinders, ignition tumbler, shocks, and more. Undercarriage Here we find driver quality conditions with the presence of surface rust, some flaking rust on one floor pan crease, errant fluid on the gas tank but generally dry conditions underneath. Independent coil springs make up the suspension in front while trailing arm, coil springs and a panhard bar fill the back. A single exhaust meets a stock style muffler before exiting stylishly with twin tips on the right rear. Drive-Ability A quick starter, smooth idle and off I went for my Swedish sports car experience. It had nice acceleration, good handling and bias free braking. The interior is very ergonomically designed so it was an easy driving experience. With the exception of the radio, all functions were in working order. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. We hope you dont read this as sales pressure, but every P1800 weve had the honor of representing at Classic Auto Mall has sold, and quickly. Their unique styling is absolutely adored by car lovers and good ones are getting harder to find. This one is well sorted and at the same time, is a driver, having traversed the PA turnpike without issue recently. We fully expect our Swedish streak to stay alive, and if youre interested in this car, put down the surstr mming and give the mall a call or emailsales@classicautomall.com today.
