OMG I love that car. My dad is a huge Volvo fan and I have always wanted a P1800...

 

....and now I click the link and realize the sad news... :(

But man, he got his money's worth!!!

I always like Volvos had planned to buy an 1800 coupe when I came back to the States in 1971.  However, the body style had changed to "sportswagon" and the coupe was no longer available new.  Bought the Z instead.

 

Interestingly in the article about the 3 million mile 1800, his daughter said they weren't close.  No wonder....... .he was cranking out 100,000 road miles a year to get to the three million mile mark. 

I wonder how she'll word the Craigslist ad when she sells it.  "One owner, retired school teacher, rebuilt engine."
