    Default '73 Volvo 1800ES

    I was wondering what you guys know about this car? My girlfriends mom has one sitting in her garage. She said she would give it to me to fix up and sell. She will bank roll the parts, and I will just pay for them out of the selling price. How much does one of these go for in good condition? I am pretty sure the body is in good shape, it probably just needs a little TLC.

    They are kind of 'James Bondish' looking!

    More like James Bondo. I don't think James Bond would be caught dead in one of those things. :P

    My first experience with SCCA was on the crew of one of the sports coupe versions of this car...not the station wagon. The owner's wife had the wagon for a daily driver.

    I'm with sammm on this one... I think they are fantastic! In my opinion, it would make a very OTM.

    What are the details of the car? Manual or Auto? How many miles? What options (if any)... like A/C, PW, etc? What color exterior and interior? Does it run? What kind of shape is it in?

    And pictures... we want pictures!
