1973 Volvo 1800ES 4-Speed

The vehicle in question is a rare and distinctive 1973 Volvo 1800ES, manufactured during the early '70s in Sweden's classic era. Hailing originally from California, this elegant coupe-wagon hybrid showcases its iconic two-piece tailgate and sleek, rounded lines that are characteristic of Volvo's design language of the time. Featuring a four-speed manual transmission, it boasts an 81-horsepower inline-four engine, embodying the era's understated yet robust European design philosophy. After spending some years in California, it was repainted in a striking blue over tan leather interior back in 1989 before being rediscovered after three decades of storage. Recently recommissioned with brake overhaul and repairs to several systems, this classic Volvo is now ready for a new adventure, having been brought up to standard by its most recent owner's spouse since acquiring it from the second owner in 1983. Currently available through Bring A Trailer, this historic vehicle represents a unique mix of Swedish design heritage and collectability, with bids starting at USD$5000 for this highly searchable listing.
