For Sale: 1974 Volvo 164E "Blue Bird"

It’s with reluctance that I’m parting ways with my beautiful 1974 Volvo 164E, affectionately named “Blue Bird.” This classic car, in a striking blue, turns heads wherever she goes—whether it's a thumbs-up or a friendly comment, she’s a conversation starter.
Details:
4-door automatic
Odometer reads 98,000 miles (approximately 2,000 miles/year)
Boxy vintage design, reminiscent of my '53 and '54 Fords, as well as the Volvo 240D and Mercedes 240D models I’ve owned
Original Volvo radio and a working clock
Includes a trunk full of spare parts and 273 pictures of the restoration
Handmade upholstery, beautifully done
Condition:
Drives well and holds the road solidly
The previous owner completed a $13,000 restoration but skipped installing an AC compressor (a relatively simple fix)
Likely needs an exhaust replacement (I’m planning to take it in soon)
Manual windows, no sunroof
This Volvo is a joy to drive, and while it could serve as a daily driver, it’s also a rare collectible that’s 99.9% restored. Located in Oskaloosa, IA, she’s priced at $7,200—a great value for anyone who loves classic Volvos.
If you're looking for a well-loved vintage vehicle, "Blue Bird" is ready for a new home!
