1973 Volvo P1800ES

Customers wife has a P1800ES that has a 4.4-liter Volvo 60-degree V8 engine (developed by Yamaha) and with an updated driveline and a VintageAir heat/cooling system. It has OEM S60 wheels on it and they never looked right when built two years ago. Once she saw the Campy wheels for her husbands de Tomaso Mangusta project (see earlier post on this page) — duplicate sets were cast for her car with adapters machined to mount them. Image shows the new wheels and a few revised items ala trim, bumpers and more for a mild cosmetic upgrade (still) to happen. She has owned this Volvo since new and it has gone through several rebuilds over the last 45 years as it is driven on a regular basis during the summer.
