Here’s a little something I made for my own enjoyment, but I figured there might be a few others who would enjoy it, too: It’s a 3D screensaver featuring our favorite car, the Volvo 1800.
The 3-D model was created by Josh Isaacson of Mountain View, CA, and will soon appear in a game produced [...]

Things are finally starting to move again on the 1800. I’ve removed the seats, carpets and interior trim and will begin repairing/rustproofing the floorpans as soon as my order of POR 15 (and just about everything else in the company’s catalog) arrives this week.

Turns out Paul Graz beat me to it. Find local owners — and post pictures of your own 1800 — on his “Frappr” page — a point-and-click map of Volvo [...]

Noticed this on the Yahoo! 1800list today: A dealership in Maryland is selling a “new” 1973 Volvo 1800 ES — never titled, with less than 300 miles on the clock (I’m assuming that’s test-driving miles?).
The asking price is a cool $49,995 — about 10 grand more than a new new Volvo sports [...]
