This 1973 Volvo 1800ES was restored in 2013 and features its original 2-liter 4-cylinder engine and Borg-Warner three-speed automatic. 49,157 miles are showing on the odometer and are believed to be original.

112 HP in a 2600 pound car and a horrible slush box doesn't exactly add up to a fireball. With a manual 4-speed plus OD, it's a nice highway cruiser, but the automatic has a 1:1 top gear and a non-locking torque converter, so you're turning lots of revs at highway speeds.
