Re: BaT Megathread
I think I know (of) that guy with the green wagon. He is the main organizer / cheerleader / tour leader of the Puget Sound vintage Volvo group.

'95 850 turbo wagon, fresh back from a trip to Japan when new, 40k shown

Sounds like it's in the grip of a flipper, didn't use blue box things on the timing belt change. Kind of curious for such a nice low-mile car.
Not the worst dash pad around.

Looks really nice. Maybe it is just me, but is the rear from behind the rear doors a different color? There is an 850 sedan in Vancouver that looks like the too with the rear looking a different shade.

'63...Something.

16" steelies !
Edit : No sale at $14k.
One of the commentators suggested replacing the fake mini gun with a Ma Duece; hard to say if there would be any economy if they were the real deal, as the Federal tax stamp is the same money for either, and .50 BMG rounds are way over $5/ea for reloads.

Nothing radical, looks pretty clean
Over 200 pics, seems like it was well pampered over several decades.

Nice looking car! I wonder if it was painted with the windshield left in place the way the paint is lifting? Looks like it would be a nice car to run around and on trips. Can't believe the current price!

'73 ES, didn't spend a lot of extra time on metalwork before the respray
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973- ... 800es-107/
Interesting Old Skool Hot Rod stance...
...which may or may not have been intentional. Pretty dodgy way to do it, and the front end geometry would be in the "interesting" range.

'63 Jensen, the current owner is adamant it's an 1800S.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1963-volvo-1800s-5/
Says he has "...heard it confidently...", so there's that.
At least the ball joints are on the right side of the A-arms. Something bad happened to the rear suspension though.
Overall a nice survivor. Made an Ego bid.

I can't see what you are saying about the rear suspension. What is the problem with it as I am keen to learn. Several leaks including the front RH brake caliper but amazingly little rust. Has huge upside potential.
