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 !

2019 Volvo V60 vs. wagon competitors: How they compare on paper
Thu, Feb 22 2018The next-gen Volvo V60 was finally revealed this week. The outgoing model has been on sale since 2011, getting a few minor updates along the way. The new model is based off Volvo's Scalable Platform Architecture that underpins other models like the XC90 and XC60 crossovers and V90 wagon. The V60 will launch with two engines, with a powerful hybrid coming sometime down the line. Since the last V60 hit the market, Audi, Buick and BMW have all released their own flavor of wagon. Like Volvo, BMW sells a traditional sedan-based model. Audi and Buick's wagons are both high-riding models with some very slight off-road pretense, much like Volvo's Cross Country models. We don't have details on the upcoming V60 Cross Country, but, even when accounting for ground clearance, the V60, BMW 3 Series Sport Wagon, A4 Allroad and Buick Regal TourX have a lot of overlap. Check out the specs breakdown below. Discover and compare other wagons and crossovers with our Car Finder and Compare tools. Engines, transmissions and drivetrains Out of the four wagons, the new V60 is the only one that offers two-wheel drive and a hybrid variant. The base V60 T5 uses a 250-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four and sends power to the front wheels. Stepping up to the V60 T6 nets buyers an additional 66 horsepower thanks to a twincharged — supercharged and turbocharged — 2.0-liter and all-wheel drive. A T8 model that uses a 390-horsepower plug-in hybrid powertrain will be available soon. All V60s use an eight-speed automatic. The Audi, BMW and Buick are all powered by 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-fours. Additionally, the 3 Series has a 2.0-liter turbo diesel. All three wagons have standard all-wheel drive. The BMW and Buick use an eight-speed automatic, while the Audi sends power through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. As base engines go, there's a four-horsepower difference between the most and least powerful models, though the Buick wins out on torque. The V60 T6 matches the Regal TourX's torque figure and trounces every competitor's horsepower rating. The V60 T8 packs more power and torque than any of the competition. Cargo and interior space The outgoing V60 was on the small side for a wagon. This new model rectifies that a bit, though its 48.2 cubic-feet of cargo space with the second-row folded is still substantially smaller than the competition.
Two more Volvo Concept C Coupe teasers drop [w/videos]
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Volvo is planning to take the wraps off its Concept C Coupe tomorrow ahead of an official unveiling at the Frankfurt Motor Show. If you just can't wait until then, though, Volvo has released two more teaser videos for the new concept.
Like the video from earlier in the week, we get a couple more sneak peeks of the stylish two-door including our first glimpse of the interior. The highly conceptual concept likely hints at a future coupe for the Swedish automaker, and after dropping the C30 and C70 from its lineup over the last couple years, this can't come soon enough. Scroll down to watch both new teaser videos, and stay tuned to see more on this car tomorrow.
Geely to release models developed with Volvo in 2015
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Geely and Volvo will finally team up for a jointly developed vehicle, more than three years after the safety-minded Swedish brand was gobbled up by Geely's parent company, according to a report in Automotive News Europe. The story quotes Geely's CEO, Gui Sheng Yue saying, "We have entered into actual research and development stage and I believe we can see the new product in the year after next."
That means 2015, which is a mighty ambitious timetable to bring a vehicle to market. But as Geely's CEO explains, life isn't going to get any easier in the Chinese market, "Competitive pressure on domestic brands in the China market should increase considerably in the coming years as most major international brands are strengthening their presence," he told ANE. Those statements also tell us that we shouldn't expect to see Geely on American shores any time soon. The brand is simply too focused on topping the Chinese market, at least among CDM brands.
