Condition
As an 1800E, this car left the factory with Bosch mechanical injection, but the owner has swapped it out for Webers. The car also left the factory with chrome trim around the grille, and that has also been ditched. Otherwise, it's mostly correct. The engine bay is a little dirty but not bad. Budget paint job with some orange peel throughout and some cracks on the roof. Small chip in the rear window. Volvo 1800s are very well built and gorgeous cars, but nobody would call this a particularly good one.
Market commentary
The Houston bidders were won over by the handsome lines and afforded it a strong price that the seller should be quite happy with. 1800 prices have been on the way up over the past few years as more and more people realize what a good value they are, but this result was ahead of the curve.
