Nice. That sits nicely. I love the deeper optional wheels on these. Too bad Smurf blue.

I liked having a booster on my 123GT that had some sort of tune that I never did find out about before it was written off. That car was fast for the day and on windy Scottish roads you needed all the help you can in the brake department. Biggest issue was even 40 years ago parts were already hard to get for the original booster the car came with. It also did not look like that ugly looking item!
Car is really nice though, and I like the baby blue color.

Not a Volvo, but worth a look.

What lake has that been sitting at the bottom of? Those are desirable cars in Europe and were very advanced for their time. They are rare and expensive now, but not sure that one would make any sense to try to repair financially.

'65 PV, resprayed grey previous, red interior like my sorely missed 1800. In the firm grasp of a dealer.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1965- ... 544-sport/
The guy is some sort of 'appraiser', has a local reputation as a collector. Bought an original Apple I a few years back, and sold it at auction for $365k.
Not much backstory on the car yet.
Updated info from the seller, came from the estate of a collector in Lynchburg.

'73 1800ES, 164k claimed
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973- ... 800es-101/
Seller claims to have 'driven it all around', but the listing says they put 200 miles on it since 2013.
Does present well though.

'66 1800S, col(u)r change, refresh in spots seems somewhat...inelegant.
Paint runs, sloppy door card treatment...

Pretty sad. Given the cost of aftermarket steam gauges these days, the original equipment could have been brought back to life.
$15k almost immediately; that could be nudging top market for what it is.

20ft car (paint looks like it was brushed on). But otherwise it definitely has huge potential, especially with all those valuable spare parts. That used but sound looking upper tailgate is worth a lot by itself.
There looks like possible oil leaks at the front and not sure if the fuel tank is leaking as there seems to be a lot of damp at the back of the tank.
This is my sort of car. If bought for a reasonable amount, then not too expensive to improve and maintain, but not too good to make you scared to use it! Don't typically like green colored cars, but this one is an exception!
