Arrow 1970 Volvo 145S 4-Speed on BaT - located in Turlock, California

This one in really good condition.

I don't agree with wheel choice, mudflaps are missing, I'd go to a twin carb setup, and change headlights back. Other than that.....in really great shape.

I also appreciate this is one of the years with the back side windows that pop out....

Up to $12K with 3 days left......

I don't know much about Volvos other than I never liked them. To me that is an ugly car.... Is it ultra rare or something? What am I missing?

Like the color, hate the aftermarket headlights, like the big foglights, ambivalent about the black wheels, but they wouldn't be my choice.

12k with days to go means that I haven't been keeping up on Volvo prices.

Couple three years ago I set up my BAT account to send me an alert when a Volvo is listed.

Gotta say......this past year I am getting them almost every freaking week!

Lot of the P1800's!

Whenever it's a wagon, I check if it's auto or manual. Manuals I always check out.

You don't see too many 145's. 145S actually - the "S" designation meaning it has 2 carbs. Unlike this one that someone converted to a single carb.

I'm a "keep it stock" car guy, so yes change the headlights back to stock, the wheels also, find factory mudflaps for her (that's an important one!), and the you'd be cooking with gas!

Funny thing in the comments section.....someone noted the driver's front fender was from a different year. Pretty impressive to know the difference and even more to be on the lookout for it!

This one supposedly has ZERO RUST!

That alone should add $10K to the value!

I hope to have another 145S one day, but timing not good for it right now. I know there are more out there. Especially in Europe!

SOLD for $12K!

Very good deal for the buyer. I believe it will be shipped to Hawaii.

Again, the NO RUST factor was the "key" aspect of the sale, IMHO....
