This 1966 Volvo 1800s was discovered in Northern Washington State parked in a shop since 1992. The body is fairly straight and the rust is minimal. It's fully compete and is a great candidate for a full restoration. This car does not run or drive, just a great project for someone.
The body on the left side is near perfect, the right side has a small ding right behind the door on the rear quarter panel. There's some rust bubbles on the rocker panels on the left, fewer on the right. The only other area that needs attention is over the tailpipes. (see photo)
The floors are incredible, no rust or soft spots (see photos of the carpets pulled up) Also the frame rails underneath and cross members and jacking points are great, not corrosion or rust underneath.
The interior is original, the headliner is near perfect and the top dash doesn't have any cracks. The seats will probably need to be reupholstered and a new carpet kit would be needed too. This 1800 has the CLOCK! Rare find! All the stock gauges are there!
The M41 transmission was removed when parked (comes with the car) and never rebuilt and reinstalled, the electrical was disconnected at the starter, nothing has been tested but things look clean. The M41, starter, clutch and other bits will be included in the sale of the auction. The B18 spins freely but I would suggest a rebuild. Clean WA State Title.
Please bid with confidence, if you need more photos of anything just ask!
