Selling my 73 Volvo 1800ES Daily Driver. Yes I'm actually selling a car and not just the parts! I decided to sell this Volvo so I have the money to finish the restoration on my other 73 ES w/ AC.
Car has a clean Michigan title in my name. I have uploaded a huge selection of picture slideshows & videos on YouTube. Simply search "Nick Tarlton Yellow 73 Volvo 1800ES". Once you find one video you can watch the others I have uploaded. I highly recommend watching all these slideshows & videos. Please consider these finely crafted videos as part of my description. I can also be reached by phone if you have further questions. If I don't answer please leave a message. If your outside of the US I prefer email. Please read entire description and view the videos/pictures on YouTube before calling. 586.321.6572. Car is available to view in person or by a hired agent. Car is not plated or insured so test drives will be short & down my dirt road in the country only. I welcome international buyers. I have shipped overseas before (67 Triumph GT6) and can help with the process. My long brutally honest description: Original Oklahoma car w/ 112k miles (undocumented). Driven from Oklahoma 20 years ago and parked in a Detroit warehouse until I bought it this spring. Car's gas was drained before being stored. Very solid body with some minor rust/body repairs that could be left as is while using as a daily driver. Rear hatch area on drivers side had the worst of the rust. While in storage the warehouse roof leaked and water sat in rear hatch glass channel. Channel has some rust but no holes luckily saving the trunk area of any rust. I removed the trim and rubber seal in the channel. All loose rust was removed and area was primed to stop further rusting. Rubber seal and trim was placed back. The roof leak also caused rust between rear hatch channel and taillight. There is a few very small holes in this area. Area was wire-brushed, primed, and painted yellow. Yellow does not match of course. Floor pan areas of rust treated in the same way. Interior seats and carpets removed. Floors wire-brushed removing all loose rust. Floors then spot sprayed with primer to stop further rusting. Driver side has two holes. One hole is directly over Jack point and only goes into the rail. I can fit about three fingers in that hole (largest of any holes). Other hole on drivers side is near the E-Brake handle. It's at the edge of a floor plug. It's small and I can fit one finger in it. Passengers side has small holes along the inner rocker & floor. There is also a few small holes along the seam of the floor & transmission tunnel hump. Passengers side outer rocker has a few rust holes. I sprayed with some yellow paint to help clean it up a little. There is also small rust areas in lower fenders just behind rear wheels. I just spot sprayed with yellow paint. Front fender has small dent on drivers side just behind front wheel. Should be easy to pop out by pulling splash panel and working it out from backside. Car has older repaint and needs to be painted again. Paint color is "patchy" and dull in many areas. My body guy quoted me $2500 for body and paint. That's painting outside of car only and did not include engine bay or interior areas. Bottom of car & inner wheel wells have been wire-brushed & painted black. That was a very dirty job and I hope my work will be appreciated by the buyer. I have been all over this car and can find no signs of any previous accidents. Interior is in really good shape. Front seats have been recovered in vinyl. Drivers side bottom seat cushion has popped stitching. Should be easy to pull cover & repair. Passengers side seat in great shape. Rear seats very good with no damage. All interior panels in great condition with only the drivers side map pocket with rips. Dash in very nice shape. Top comes with new top cover (not installed). Lower dash has cracks near steering wheel base. All gauges and switches in good condition. Radio works! Clock & cigarette lighter do not work. Carpets in front very nice while rear cargo area carpets are somewhat faded & discolored. Glass in great condition w/ no cracks or chips in front windshield. Headliner & Sun Visors in good condition with no rips. Rear view mirror is brittle and falling apart. This is common and there are other Volvo models with similar style that could be bought and used to replace this one. Center shifter console like new with original key for the compartment lock. Seat belts in good condition. Back drivers side lap belt is stuck. Not sure who can actually fit in the back of one of these cars anyway. All interior window and door handles work. Drivers side window winds up a little stiff and may just need internal door mechanism greased. Both doors open and close well. Passengers door sticks slightly and may need slight adjustment. Drivers side vent window missing it's pull handle. Exhaust does not appear to be stock but still functions. It's on the loud side. My son says it sounds like a race car! Tires are a mix of ones I had around the property. They hold air but should be replaced before driving the car on a regular basis. I was quoted $320 for new tires mounted. Suspension appears to be in order & original but I'm sure could be much improved with some IPD upgrades. Have not heard any unwanted noises from the rear-end. Brakes are in good condition and had been redone before going into warehouse storage. Looks like rear brake hoses also replaced while front still look like original ones. Gas tank is in very good condition with a working sender unit. Exterior chrome bumpers & door handles in good condition. Bumpers are "driver" quality with scuffs and scratches but no dings or dents. Stainless fender and door trims have the typical dings. New sets are available. All exterior lighting appears to be in working order with one front turn signal light bulb burned out. Lighting bezels and chrome taillight housings in very good condition. Lenses are all very good. Drivers side rear taillight lens has some minor damage along top edge. Rear hatch glass hinges and handle chrome in good condition. Handle is broke and does not lock. Hatch shocks are worn out and need to be replaced. Top luggage rack is very nice but chrome does have some pitting. Front grille surround is from a 71 1800E and does not fit very well. I have a picture on YouTube showing how it fits. Surround chrome is decent but does have dent/damage at top center. The grille insert in very nice and has been painted "chrome". I feel the original black gets lost when looking at the car. Car is missing its Carbon canister that fits behind the grille in the nose section. Horns are not working. Front windshield & side cargo area glass rubber seals are in very good condition. All other seals should be replaced if it's ever going to see rain. Exterior mirrors are very good. Car will need new wiper blades. Engine runs very well. Starts very easy every time. Has had recent oil change. I have not done a coolant flush & would maybe recommend it since it had been in storage so long. Compression test shows 145, 140, 145, 145. Four speed Laycock J type transmission shifts very well in all gears w/ functioning overdrive. Car does not smoke. No fluid leaks. That's about all I can think of. I'm sure I'm missing something but just ask if there is information I left out you may need. Please only bid if your serious and you have the money. If you need permission from a family member before buying please do so! It takes a lot of time to sell a car and I don't want to relist it. Thanks. Car is as they say "sold as is" unless I grossly mispresented something about the car, which I highly doubt will happen. I will not refund cost of shipping or return shipping. No refunds for international buyers. I have shipped many cars and can help you make arrangements. I'm able to help load the car. My street has access for a full size car carrier semi. I can also deliver the car myself for a fee if your not far away. Payment in cash is always best but money orders, wire transfers, cashiers checks are also ok. Sorry no trades. Thanks for reading until the end & good luck. Nick. On Aug-29-14 at 16:35:32 PDT, seller added the following information: Local Volvo enthusiast came over today with better compression check tool. Tested three times. Results below. Keep in mind 72 & 73 had lower compression compared to the 70-71 1800E. Thanks. 1st test: 156, 140, 161, 155 2nd test: 154, 141, 162, 156 3rd test: 155, 142, 163, 156 On Aug-30-14 at 20:29:04 PDT, seller added the following information: To make it easier to see the YouTube videos & slideshows here are the links: Walk around (3 total) w/ pictures slideshow of body & paint Underbody & suspension pictures slideshow Inner fender & brakes videos & pictures slideshow Engine compartment videos & pictures slideshow Interior videos & pictures slideshow Floor pans & trunk pictures slideshow Additional pictures slideshow |

Volvo EX30 dropped from 2024 NACTOY contention due to model year cutoff
Tue, Dec 12 2023The North American Car, Truck and Utility of the Year jury announced Tuesday that the Volvo EX30 has been dropped as a finalist for the 2024 Utility of the Year award because it will not be sold to customers in 2023. As it had made it all the way to the final round before Volvo informed the jury that the car would not be available, the EX30 had to be replaced with another contender. The NACTOY board selected the 2024 Hyundai Kona/Kona Electric to fill its slot. In fact, the EX30 was never intended to be delivered in 2023, a Volvo spokesperson confirmed to Autoblog. "The original plan had us scheduled to open order books [in November], but because we are always evaluating our production timelines and volumes, and make adjustments according to a variety of inputs, we changed that to be not before January," he said. The other finalists for all three categories remain unchanged. The full list follows. Car category: Honda Accord, Hyundai Ioniq 6, Toyota Prius Truck category: Chevrolet Colorado, Chevrolet Silverado EV, Ford Super Duty Utility category: Genesis Electrified GV70, Kia EV9, Hyundai Kona/Kona Electric The finalists were chosen from a list of 25, which was previously narrowed down from a comprehensive roster of all vehicles that are new or updated for the 2024 model year — a total of 52 eligible vehicles. Notably absent from the list of finalists were the Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray, Toyota GR Corolla, GMC Canyon, Ford Ranger, Chevrolet Blazer EV, Chevrolet Equinox EV, Mazda CX-90 and Toyota Grand Highlander, among others. The 2024 winners will be announced in January. Autoblog Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is member of the NACTOY jury. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

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.
Uber hopes facilities in Detroit will help shape its autonomous future
Mon, Sep 19 2016Hot off the heels of unleashing its fleet of self-driving vehicles in Pittsburgh, PA, Uber announced plans to open a new facility in the Detroit, MI area, reports Automotive News. The new facility was announced at an event hosted by Society of Automotive Engineers in Detroit, MI. Uber's vice president of global vehicle programs Sherif Marakby revealed the news, reports Automotive News. The facility is meant to help the ride-sharing company collaborate with suppliers and automakers in the area. There's no word on where Uber will build the new facility or how big it will be, as those factors have yet to be determined. Just like Pittsburgh, PA, Detroit, MI could become another testing ground for the ride-sharing company. The latest move to open a facility in the Detroit area comes after Uber offered users in Pittsburgh the chance to ride in one of its autonomous vehicle as it looks to gain vital real-world testing. Uber is utilizing a fleet of modified Ford Fusions. Earlier this year in April, the automaker announced a partnership with Google, Lyft, Uber, and Volvo to develop autonomous cars. A new facility in Detroit would strengthen the partnership and help Uber, as well as Ford put autonomous vehicles on the road faster.
