1972 Volvo 1800es In Rare Color Code 109 on 2040-cars
Rockledge, Florida, United States
|
Greetings-and thank you for viewing this offering.
This is my last Volvo and I hate to offer it---but here it is.
Offered is my 1972 Volvo 1800ES in the rarest color offered in 1972--- and only 1972-- color code 109.
Volvo called this color Green Ocean Mist and it is my favorite color of those that were available.
Currently, there are only 6 registered in Karl Erics fine volvo1800pictures dot com website.Mine is even more unusual in that it is an A/C car w/ Automatic transmission.
For what it is worth---I have not seen a single 109 coupe or sport wagon offered on ebay in the last 5 years.
I bought this car in San Diego, California and the original blue plate and title are pictured.
Unfortunately, I have not had the time or resources to work on the car much---and that has factored in my decision to offer it.
This car is unrestored and deserves to be. My plan was to switch the auto transmission for a manual w/ overdrive conversion.
There is a bone yard in town that has the parts needed to do this and if wanted --I can provide his contact number to the buyer.
The car ran when I purchased it---and will need a weekend of fiddling to get it going again.
The issue came up of rust particulate in the gas tank that clogged the injectors.
I had the tank cleaned and repaired the sending unit.
The lines need an air hose cleaning and the injectors need to be cleaned as well.
The interior is original and the blue seats were added to match a surfboard I have. Both sets of seats are included.
Also included is a spare drivers mirror, fan shroud, spare tire, tachometer,and some various small items.
It would be nice to replace the interior to match the outside appearance and perhaps a color change to Black or white might be a possibility.
I suppose dying the interior black might work.........
The engine bay is all original.
Also included is additional paint to re-paint the engine bay.
The paint on the car is nice but not heroic or show quality. My impression is the car was kept running over the years---but has not been restored.
My asking price represents a significant financial loss--- however it is a nice opportunity for someone that has the time and resources.
The car is being offered as a project car needing time and resources to either get to driver status or if desired a foundation for a proper full restoration.
As such the car is offered in as is / found condition.
If you take this to a Volvo show---you will be the only one there with this rare color.
I am at 1-321-749-7257 for any questions, discussions ,or enlightenment.
Thank you !

Watch this video, then buy this 1993 Volvo wagon
Mon, 12 May 2014Do you want to be perceived as rich and cuddly? Of course you do. Then you need to buy this car.
We know it makes no sense, but that pretty much sums up our take on the video you'll see below, in which a man by the name of Christoffer Castor, from Scania County in Southern Sweden, attempts to convince any and all who watch to buy his car. The car in question is a 1993 Volvo 240 wagon, in red with a black fabric interior.
We have quite a bit of respect for the old boxy Volvo wagons here at Autoblog, and, despite the presence of some unsightly rust on the tailgate, would gladly bum about in this particular 240. We especially appreciate the five-speed manual gearbox and that it's from the car's final year in production.
2nd annual Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards revealed
Tue, Jan 13 2015There was some absolutely fantastic auto advertising in 2014, ranging from funny to inspiring. Marking the best of it from the past year, the Second Annual One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards were announced during the 2015 Detroit Auto Show (full disclosure: Autoblog was among the award's sponsors, and Editor-in-Chief Sharon Carty was a voter). Unlike previously, there were no brands with dominance over the list this time. Presented by The One Club, the awards have an international scope and hand out honors in a variety of categories. In the Broadcast TV group, there were three winners this year. First, there was The Scripted Life from Audi for the Q3 about breaking out of life's monotony. Also, Dad's Sixth Sense from Hyundai marketed the safety features in the Genesis. Finally, Unbreakable Drivers showed manly men being tested for the Toyota Hilux in Australia. The Online Video prize went to the fantastic The Epic Split spot from Volvo Trucks starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. The best Interactive ad was the Honda video titled The Other Side for the Civic Type R, and the Experiential Advertising nod was for the Volkswagen Eyes on the Road clip that showed the dangers of texting and driving to a theater full of moviegoers in Hong Kong. Finally, the Public Choice Award went to the BMW commercial called Hello Future using the words of sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke for the i8. In the award not for videos, Jeep won the Print/Outdoor category for its Upside Down campaign. Check the ads out below, which show different animals when upside down. Also, look farther down for all of the winning videos and read their full announcements.

In partnership with the North American International Auto Show (www.naias.com) in Detroit, The One Club today unveiled the best automotive ads from around the world in five categories: broadcast TV, online video, interactive, experiential advertising, and print & outdoor. Winners will be presented on-stage at a special event during the NAIAS Press Preview on Tuesday, January 13, 2015, at the Cobo Center in Detroit at 4:55 p.m. The event is sponsored by AOL's Autoblog.
Future Polestar Volvo models could feature diesel, EV tech
Tue, 20 May 2014Volvo's Polestar sub-brand has made the transition nicely from being the company's racing arm to building some seriously cool, Swedish cars. Now that it has a few models under its belt, it plans to grow larger and greener. The next-generation of Polestar-tuned vehicles are rumored to include high-performance hybrid and diesel powertrains.
While it still doesn't have the brand recognition of BMW M or Mercedes-Benz AMG, Polestar is on the growth path. It's representatives recently told Autoblog that its latest, tuned S60 and V60 models "mark the start of an extended production car model range." In addition to that expansion, Volvo has given its performance division a greater responsibility for engineering future vehicles, according to Autocar. It even helped develop the new Drive-E engine, which we quite liked when we took it for a spin in an S60.
Polestar's boss hinted at a hybrid model to Autocar, a move that seems obvious once you think about it. The Drive-E engine was designed from the beginning to accept hybrid layouts. The division's plan is to put and electric motor on the rear axle to both increase torque off the line and provide all-wheel drive. As Drive-E also offers diesel variants, that is in the cards as well for the future, but the company didn't go into much detail. Polestar appears to be the upcoming shooting star of the performance car world.
