1972 Volvo 850 For Sale by Owner in Susanville, CA

This is one very nice 1972 1800ES Volvo that is very nearly rust free! It’s a California car and has been for decades. There is one tiny bit of rust at the bottom of the glass lift gate that doesn’t show, but it’s there. Everything else is very solid; see the photos! The car was totally rebuilt about 15 years ago and has only been driven less than 20,000 miles since then. I do not know the total milage, as the previous owner had the odometer reset when the car was rebuilt including an engine and transmission overhaul, new paint, rebuilt suspension, etc. Unfortunately there are no invoices from that period, but the car runs great and the transmission, including the Laylock overdrive, are quiet and shift smoothly. Due to other interests the previous owner, who is a good friend of mine, let the car sit, covered, for 11 years. When he moved out of state I got the car and went through most everything until I got cancer. Now it’s time to move on, although I hate to because it’s quite a nice car and is “the talk of the town” wherever it goes.
