1966 Volvo P1800s - No Reserve - Great “barnfind” Example To Restore! on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
1966 Volvo P1800S Chassis No. 20725 · Very Original P1800S Coupe by Ghia · Great “Barnfind” Example to Restore · Long-Term Ownership for Several Years · Of the most Iconic and Graceful Volvos Produced Recently uncovered from long-term storage, here is a very original example of the stunning P1800S waiting to be restored to its former glory. White over black upholstery, the coupe comes from long-term ownership out of Atlanta, Georgia where it was sitting under a carport for a very long time. All trim, brightwork, lenses and vented silver wheels with factory hubcaps remain in original condition, while the cabin's upholstery is correct and largely original as well - with the addition of modern audio. Both the luggage and engine compartments appear in order. The Volvo cranks over and attempts to start although we do not recommend driving the car on public roads until a full assessment and complete service is performed. Here is a very affordable entry in collector car ownership and a great base of what is considered one of the most graceful Volvos ever produced. This diamond in the rough makes a great summer project for any enthusiast or collector alike. Being sold “as-is” “where-is”, we encourage and are happy to arrange inspections. Please feel free to contact us with any questions. Note: We have created a photo link for you to see a detailed look at all of the flaws we have found. Photo Link: 1966 Volvo P1800S On Jun-12-14 at 16:09:59 PDT, seller added the following information: We just received additional servicing invoices from the Volvo's last major service and repaint in 2004 with an additional service in 2012. The car was stored in a barn/garage and driven very little over the last 15 years and makes for an easy weekender's project to tinker with. |

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.

2015 Volvo Ocean Race XC60 priced from $42,100*
Mon, 10 Nov 2014Every three years, a half dozen or so teams of sailors embark on an epic eight-month, round-the-world sailboat race formerly called the Whitbread Round the World Race and known since 2001 as the Volvo Ocean Race. This year's event started a month ago in Alicante, Spain, and will end next June at the Swedish automaker's hometown of Gothenburg. And to mark the occasion, just as it has in years past, Volvo has launched a special edition of one of its roadgoing models.
The Volvo Ocean Race XC60 was launched this weekend at the Miami Auto Show. Based on the XC60 crossover we know well, the limited edition is distinguished by its Ocean Blue II paintjob, unique 18-inch wheels, a choice of black or light leather interior with orange stitching and a series of special badges inside and out.
Buyers will be able to choose between the T6 Drive-E and T6 AWD models, priced from $42,100 and $43,600 respectively. That represents a $1,200 premium over models on which they're based, on top of which, Volvo has confirmed in correspondence with Autoblog, the usual $925 destination charge applies.
