Description

This 1971 Volvo 1800E is a very unique car, which is why I bought it myself. A '71 with multi-port electronic fuel injection, 4 wheel disc breaks, and unibody construction would normally make this a car ahead of it's time. However, this car has fins. Fins were not popular with American cars after the late 50's. So the styling was a bit behind the times. All this to say this car has character you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere. There were only 4750 of these produced in the original Cherr...

Our Take:
  • Rarity with a Dose of Quirkiness: The 1971 Volvo 1800E is indeed a bit of an outlier; only 4,750 units were produced in the original Cherry Red. It's not often you come across this make and model, especially with those quirky fins—a feature that would've turned heads even back in the 70s, considering their decline in American car design post-50s.
  • Ahead of Its Mechanical Time: This model boasts advanced features for its era, like multi-port electronic fuel injection and four-wheel disc brakes. Volvo was clearly onto something with the 1800E's unibody construction—terms that'd sound like a pitch for a modern sports car, honestly!
  • Potential Diamond in the Rough: While it sounds like the car's got its fair share of cosmetic woes and the notorious rust issues, all parts are reportedly functioning. For those who cherish automotive restoration projects, this could be an exciting challenge—a true labor of love for someone who appreciates vintage uniqueness.
  • Nostalgia on Four Wheels: Though there might be some skepticism around the mileage accuracy, it's driven just 51,339 miles according to the odometer. Imagine cruising through your neighborhood in a car that not only stands out but also echoes tales from automotive history—truly something for the vintage car enthusiast.
