Parting out the 550

car ad about 3000 miles on it, as far as gauge cluster, i suppose the odometer has to be rolled up for ya

I am doing the wheel stuff last so i can still push it on the floor of the storage space.

interior is tan.

I sold the motor and seats this weekend. some of the electrics too.

 

Will yank it on sunday, i only get out there one day a week when the property owner is in town.

 

Jordan, I had a guy come out for the seats this past weekend, but he was atotal dick, so I still have them.

Coachi, I had a custom exhaust that was jet-hot coated stem-stern. About the same bore as Tubis, a little throatier because they had the coating, so less vibratory noise. I will see if my assistant can get it cat-back for you.

 

ok boys it is all gone, I got the last of it taken away this week. My dad kept a shield, I will get it monday morning from him. Boxed up and sent to Jordo

 

Here is a shot of it pre restoration, note the plate. these are the only pix on my hd i have to find the others in my cd case, being a photog i have around 1200 cds of image archives

For V-speed regulars the 400bhp block that blew:

B23ft block, b234 16v head extrudehone, 5 angle valvejob, double springs, hebert cam, arias pistons, crower rods/crank. stroked to 2.7l, garret super .60 from turbocity, all custom intake/exh manis, jet hot coated, huge hi flow cat to dual tip exhaust, motec m4 emu, dual 50k voltcoils ala msd.

cas was stolen and head/turbo blown

currently

b23block b230 head custom manis, stock turbo. working on new build uop after body work.

 

my car is in the honda silver, the fine flake one, almost matte, here is a photo of the car i used to model my body work after. very bertone in my opinion

mine is a 66 with 63 staghorn bumpers like this, i have 16" koenig toxxin rims

the current ecu has been chipped to produce 240hp with the current high flow exhaust, that is pre turbo upgrade, pre head work, and unstroked. mated to an m75 tranny or my m40 built to handle 500+hp by Topi at trs-usa in the valley


i was going to do another all stock + supercharger from OJRallye in the Maserati/Lambo pale blue metallic from the late 60's because it is such a beautiful color. my girlfriend would get the new p1800 if i go for it. rather than buy her a boxter, i'd give her a 0-60 in 5.5 volvo


this was taken at watkins glem by an 1800list@yahoo member.

it was the 40th anniv of the p1800

irv gordon was there, he had yet to break 2 million miles

"First Person to Drive Two Million Miles in Same Car Extends World Record in His 1966 Volvo P1800

Long Island's Irv Gordon, Volvo's "Two Million Mile Man," will turn historic two million miles on March 27 during Volvo's 75th anniversary party at Times Square Studios"

 

a p1800 in great condition will go for 8500 a resto will be 3000. my car cost me 2500 plus ~20,000 in resto and motor options because i love the look so much and i wanted major speed. a real sandbagger. my rims/tires were 4k. i will buy and sell ferraris, but this car is special.

I am the pa1800 speed guru along with david at ojrallye. the p1800 he owns has been known to take #1 in vintage races past 911 and (latemodel) stangs

maybe this will help you understand my love for the ugliest car ever.


I figured i'd rather sell the 550 as a whole then to part and box/ship/meet guys and haggle.
