Old Volvo 1800 ES

[Robert_in_NY]

This car has been parked behind the barn on the property I bought a couple years ago. I don't know much about this car but I am going to get rid of it. I don't want to just send it to the scrap yard if it has some value to a collector either as a whole (I doubt it as it is rusted pretty good) or for parts. So can anyone tell me more about this car and what my best options are to get rid of it? I have thought about putting it on ebay but if it isn't worth anything then there is no sense wasting money on listing fees.

Try putting it on Craigslist with the pictures you have posted and see what happens. You could take offers for a week or so and then decide whether to sell or scrap. The listing on Craigslist should be free.
Good luck, Ken

Good Evenin Robert,
My best guess is that mouse palace is destined for the scrap yard, for the going price !

See if the local fire dept. wants it to practice cutting on. They might haul it off for free.

Getting rid of it isn't a problem. I just didn't want to haul it off to the crusher if it had value to a collector. With the forks on the TN I can put this car anywhere out of the way easily.

I think the same thing. I am going to list it on Craigslist and see if anyone makes an offer and go from there.

There might be someone looking for a car like that...never know.
I've seen worse on Craigslist..__Burnt tractors and trailers that had trees growing through the floor.

Like Scott said,

That's a mouse palace...__And in the summer it can be a snake den.

Someone will want this car for parts. That was the best Volvo of the 1960's. The wagon no less. Yours is a wee bit worse for the wear.
Craigslist might work. There are a bunch of Volvo sites. Try this one. www.matthewsvolvosite.com

There use to be two of these cars there but the previous owners son was going to restore the one and he took a couple parts off this one for that. I asked if he wanted the rest of this car and he said no and for me to do what I want with it. So I knew there was at least one guy who restores them Thanks for the links

I realize this thread is quite old, but I can't help but ask what happened to this car. I am restoring a '73 P1800ES and I could sure use some of the parts.
