    Very cool video.

    Had a shipmate on my first submarine who had a red P1800. Always thought they were a VERY classy car & it seemed so incredibly different from the slab sided boxes that Volvo put out in the 1980's and 1990's. Think it would be really cool if Volvo brought out a sporty/gt car today.

    Too funny...there is no such thing as a 1967 P1800. The "P" was done away with in 1963 when Volvo took over manufacturing of the bodies from Jensen. They were called the 1800S until 1970 when they became the 1800E (fuel injected coupe) or 1800ES (injected sport wagon). Carry on...just one of my pet peeves...

    Mine too...

    I had an 1800ES... Red... great car.


    I found out one morning driving to work that the oil pressure gauge in the dash was really an oil pressure gauge... not an electric gauge connected to a sender.

    At a stoplight, hot oil started spraying on my leg. Ouch. The connection came loose.
