    The Volvo 1800s, coupes and wagons both, have always been among my favorites. Not too sure about this particular example tho. Seems like some assembly is required.

    The ES version definitely belongs in the wagon section. I have always liked these little Volvo's, and the wagon version is more attractive to my eyes than the coupe.

    Interesting that the front lower ball joints have been installed above the control arms, lowering the front stance. I like the looks of the stance, I don't know if I would like driving the car with what I suspect that placement would do to the steering?

    That is a beautiful car ! Don't know if the color is original but really don't care.

    Nothing against the 73 ES that just sold, but I think this 72 will sell for a bit more dollers, correct ride height, and seems just a bit more sorted out. Even if I prefer the interior colors of the 73. This one is very nice, and located about 20 miles from my house.
    I guess I am lucky I just blew my car budget for the foreseeable future on the Magnum!
