This 1965 Volvo 1800S coupe is finished in white over black upholstery with red carpeting and powered by a 1.8-liter B18 inline-four. Shifting is through a factory 4-speed M41 manual transmission with electric overdrive, and modifications include a custom dash treatment, reupholstered front seats, and underhood insulation. The car was purchased by the seller from its previous owner in Oregon approximately 10 years ago, and is said to have been stored during winters and driven sparingly in good weather since. This 1800 is offered with a clean Oregon title in the seller’s name. The seller states that this 1800S was likely repainted at some point prior to his purchase based on evidence around the engine compartment, doors, and trunk compartment. The finish reportedly appears to be a brighter white than the factory color. Over 40 exterior pictures are provided in the gallery below. This Volvo sits on stock wheels with polished hubcaps at each corner. Imperfections are said to consist of pitting on the lower quarter panels and a rock chips on forward-facing exterior surfaces. The front seats appear to have been reupholstered according to the seller, while the rear bench seat retains factory-style material. The carpeting, headliner, 2-spoke steering wheel, and rubber trunk mat are also thought to be factory items. A previous owner removed the original dash pad, clock, and ashtray before painting the steel underneath and installing the perforated aluminum dash and switch panels depicted above. The 5-digit odometer shows approximately 77k miles, with correct mileage unknown to the seller. The 1.8-liter B18 inline-four is paired with a 4-speed M41 manual transmission and electrically-actuated Laylock de Normanville D-type overdrive. Induction is from twin SU carburetors. The car has not been driven regularly in recent years, and a tune-up will likely be in order per the seller. Modern hood insulation has been added as shown in the gallery. The car was reportedly garaged during winters and started monthly when not in use over the past decade. Fluid leaks are described from the steering box and where the speedometer cable connects to the transmission. Additional undercarriage photos are displayed in the gallery below.
