This is a 1966 Volvo P1800 Coupe. It runs and drives. THIS CAR TURNS HEADS! I drove it around my neighborhood today, and everybody loved it. The engine is the original 1800cc twin carb, and it doesn’t smoke. It has the original 4-speed transmission with overdrive. The odometer shows 74,341 miles. The previous owner had stored the car for many years, so the mileage is most likely correct. This car is one of 4,499 ’66 coupes produced.

The car has been slightly customized for the clean, sleek look of a Ferrari 250. The chrome has been removed from the sides, the rear bumper has been removed, the front bumper and turn signals have been replaced, the tail lights have been frenched in, and the door panels have been replaced with leather covered flat panels. The original chrome and original wheels (with tires, hubcaps, and trim rings) are also available.

The car needs a little TLC to be a daily driver. It has some rust, and it needs paint. (The paint looks better in the pictures.) The fuel system and brakes should be gone through before it can be driven any distance. The brakes work, the pedal is hard, but the right front brake drags. It should also have fresh tires.

The interior has some wear, and it’s rather dirty, but it’s certainly usable as it is.
