scannon Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 New Volvo P1800 There is a possibility of a limited production run. Other than the over sized wheels and tires I think it is a beauty. I might be biased a bit as I used to own an 1800ES Sport Wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Now THAT is a cool retro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxologist Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 nearly bought a p1800 wagon 6 years ago after a friend picked up a convertible. in all honesty it a fortuatous decision. much rather have my impreza wagon and 7 than a 40 p1800 and miata. I hope that this new p1800 car does get off the ground and to US dealers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemk1 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 As someone who has owned more than a few 1800ES's I'd start writing bad checks for one of these. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskossie Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 That coupe has a vaguely early-Lamborghini look to it, especially at the back of the cockpit. I’d like to see an ES-sportwagon version of this car. I’ve owned 4 Volvo 2-doors, but never an 1800. (My father owned an additional 5 Volvo sedans). I presently own a red 1970 Volvo 122S rally replica 2-door coupe, with original B-20 engine and approximately 35,000 original-owner miles on the clock. (It’s probably the latest 122S in the States, since official importation stopped with the 1968 model year.) I’ve also got a classic 1975 Volvo presently on the barge from Tacoma to Alaska, but it is considerably larger than any previous Volvo I’ve owned....... : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 That is one fine car. He outdid himself on that one. I hope it matches the renderings exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Link to 1800ES Sport Wagon Pictures Mine was red with black interior and had very low miles when I got it. Beautiful car but I didn't really like driving it. The electronic fuel injection was a real PITA, it needed adjusting almost weekly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Budlite Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 That is a stunning car! And I agree with you Skip, put some "normal" size wheels and tires on so you could drive it on real roads and that thing is ready to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arya Ebrahimi Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Absolutely gorgeous. Looks similar to the retro thunderbirds but about 1000x better and much more nicely executed. I love how thin the pillars appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
