The P1800 project was started in 1957 because Volvo wanted a sports car. The man behind the project was an engineering consultant to Volvo. Helmer Petterson. who in the 1940s was responsible for the Volvo PV444. The car was presented to the public for the first time at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1960. ___________________________________________________ A white 1962 Volvo P1800 driven by Simon Templar. played by Roger Moore. was featured in the TV series The Saint beginning in 1962 and played a prominent role throughout the entire run of the show. Roger Moore was so smitten with the Volvo P1800 that he bought one for his own personal use. When asked to name his favorite "movie cars". Moore stated it was the Volvo P1800. commenting: "I have a great affection for the Volvo P1800. as. of course. I owned one. as well as used one in the series. It’s a beautiful car and I still drive a Volvo to this day. " _______________________________________________________________ A 1966 Volvo 1800S and its owner Irv Gordon of East Patchogue. New York. USA own the Guinness world record for highest mileage in the same vehicle he has been driving since 1966. He has driven about 26. 00 of those miles outside of the U. S. . in Canada and Mexico. as well as in Europe. "In Sweden. we drove to Volvo's global headquarters to see where the P1800 was born". Gordon said the car surpassed the 3 million mile mark in Alaska in September 2013. ______________________________________________________________ I found this really well preserved example of the Iconic Swedish Sports Car in a private collection in California where it has been stored for quite some time and not driven in over 10 years! This 1966 Volvo P 1800 S has been maintained by an enthusiastic owner who enjoyed driving it as long as he could and took pride in ownership by installing a good looking set of modern Minilite replica alloy wheels and radial tires along with a set of Bilstien gas pressure shocks to improve the ride and handling of this iconic nearly 50 year old classic. The exterior is in remarkably good condition with all trim present and showing minor tarnishing and pitting as you would expect from such an iconic sports car that has been enjoyed as it should have been. The paint is in good condition as well having been re-sprayed at some point in the past and shows well with a glossy finish that has a few nicks and scratches. again from being enjoyed on the open road for years (see all pics) ________________________________________________________________ The interior is also in very good original condition with minor wear present and is mostly complete making for an easy restoration if you choose to pursue a museum quality Volvo P1800 S. The engine had not been started in over 10 years. so I got Aaron and the guys to take a look at it. The fuel system was drained and we found out the fuel tank was not in the best shape from being stored for all those years with bad fuel in it. So we chose to replace it with a brand new tank. fuel pump and lines. The engine fired to life once again and runs quite well with a smooth idle and quiet acceleration. ___________________________________________________________ Underside pics reveal a solid chassis and suspension presence with minimal superficial rust present (again. see all pics). While this car runs and drives. it should be completely serviced before any extended driving is performed to ensure safety and reliability (due to our filming schedule. we’re unable to perform any additional work on this Volvo- SOLD AS IS/WHERE IS). If you’re looking for a good example of the iconic Swedish sports car. don’t miss a rare opportunity to own this one as you won’t find a better example that’s priced to sell!

His father worked three jobs his whole life—two to make ends meet for the family. and one to buy toys. Neither a mechanic nor a fabricator. his father took pride in his car collection. Needless to say. this stayed with Richard. Rawlings was always working. and always chasing pipe dreams. By twenty-one. he’d been a cop. a fireman. and a medic. But he wanted more. After a rough stint of sleeping on his sister’s couch. he got his act together and entered the world of trading sales. Here he solidified his business savvy. and went on to build an advertising and printing firm from the ground up. The company grew to become a “juggernaut” in the Dallas area. A mere four years later. the company sold. and with that money Gas Monkey Garage was born. Aaron Kaufman worked at a shop Rawlings frequented. and loved the stuff Rawlings brought in for him. Kaufman always went above and beyond for him. When Gas Monkey opened. Rawlings called him up and asked if he wanted to work for him. The premise was simple: Rawlings wanted the fastest. most expensive. most badass hot rod shop to be found. with apparel and a show on Discovery to boot. Kaufman thought he was crazy. but signed on anyway. Eight years later. the shop is all that and more. They owe their success to a strict business model. They don’t buy parts—only whole models without too much rust. Owing to his business background. Rawlings has a handle on the market. and knows the price he ought to pay. In ninety days or less. the job will be done. whether they start with a decent model or a carcass. Then it’s onto the next job without hesitation. If a finished car sits too long. Rawlings will sell it at a loss. He’s interested in a killer operation. not a stockpile. Their roles within the shop are clear. Rawlings is first and foremost an entrepreneur. He wants to sell a style. push a brand. and make sure Gas Monkey Garage never stops growing. Kaufman runs the shop. armed with his mastery of mechanics. electrics. and fabrication. The dynamic is vital. the common ground being their mutual love of classic cars. Rawlings has always been an old soul when it comes to cars. and his style has brought in a steady flow of clientele who trust his no-B. S. methods. “Anyone can go out and buy a Ferrari. ” Rawlings’ dream car? “A 1932 Ford Roadster—the holy grail of hot rods. ”See our other listings
