1971 Volvo 1800E - $16,700 - Austin, TX - Vehicle has 150,542 miles with about 2,000 miles on the rebuilt engine and transmission. This is an original California car. I brought it over to Austin, TX when I relocated. I’ve owned the car for 8 years and have been restoring it since then. The transmission is a manual 4-speed with an electronic overdrive. This car turns heads, runs great, and has been garage stored. The Interior has been restored to near original condition. I have records/receipts from 1992 - present. All the work listed below have been done 2,000 or less miles ago with the most recent in Jan 2017 (new Electronic Control Unit (ECU), cleaned fuel system, replaced rubber fuel lines, new spark plugs, engine compression checked, wiring harness checked, new fuel injection pressure sensor).
I have maintained a blog detailing my restoration work with lots of photos including more photos of the car in it's current condition. Contact me for the link. Vehicle is located in Austin, Texas.
