Description
Volvo P1800s restomod V6
“Unique opportunity” is an expression often used too freely — but in this case, it is actually quite accurate. This is a very special car and, importantly, fully road legal and approved in Norway exactly as it stands today. You would be hard-pressed to find a tougher-looking Volvo P1800.
This is the ultimate sleeper hot rod — a car that combines classic design with modern drivability and considerably more power than the original ever offered.
Under the bonnet sits a compact 4. 3-litre Chevrolet Vortec V6, delivering the performance many feel the P1800 always deserved.
This is paired with:
• 5-speed manual Muncie 5LM60 Getrag 290/ HM290 GM
• Ford Mustang II rear axle/ suspension setup
• Power steering
• DAB radio
• Custom-made Flowmaster exhaust system
• Modern, precise digital instruments
The result is the best of both worlds: timeless styling combined with improved usability and serious character. The car has plenty of muscles all the time. In short: a hooligan in a tuxedo.
The car was built during 2003–2004. Used very sparingly since and just stood in a collection. It needs to be driven and enjoyed.
Conclusion
This is an exceptionally cool car, recently roadworthy approved (MOT equivalent) and fully usable as it stands. Gearbox and shift mechanism is just fixed and the car is transformed. We would prefer the car to go to a knowledgeable enthusiast, or someone willing to have the car professionally sorted and optimized. As a “Restomod” build there is always things to get optimized.
Buying and selling classic cars should be an enjoyable experience. Please note that the car is sold “as is” and without warranty. Owning a classic car is a hobby, and maintenance and adjustments should be expected over time.
