Rust, as usual, look in all the fender wells as well as the door sills. The
one I had was rusty around the unibody supports out the the sills so look
underneath.
Engine/trans, 1800 if i remember correctly, is a good solid unit should be
checked on every normal way. Compression & oil leaks just like the
Britmobile.
Fun car, wish I had mine back.

Sorry for the off topic post but I couldn't find a Volvo list on team.net.
I'm going for a 2nd
look at a 1967 Volvo P1800S tomorrow and hoped that somebody could tell me
what the
trouble spots are to look for. It was restored in 1997 (with over 300,000
miles on it) by the
original owner but has been driven relatively little since (he died in
2000). It's been sitting
inside in a garage since. Battery and carbs are missing so obviously the
engine does not run.
Was told it "ran when parked" (famous last words?). Car looks very
straight, floors and trunk
are clean as a whistle, chrome is good. What else should I be looking for?
Any and all help
will be appreciated. Thanks.
