Re: [MBZ] O.T. This Will Keep You Busy, Swen.

Volvo B18 turbo was a rare add feature, available from factory special
order in the 1978 era.
Since the engine is high compression [by turbo standards] the total boost
it is allowed to make is limited to keep things like head gaskets and
pistons from self destruction. Thus, available only as a "total kit".
I have one. New, never installed, complete. Bought it to install on the 220
GT Volvo [quite rare model] that I've started to restore, but put under
wraps and pushed to the end of the list. One owner car, perfect body, yada
yada.. owned in AZ and NV , Zero rust, etc..
There you have it.

That car has been sitting unloved and outside for way too long in AZ. the
interior is kacked. floor pans, rockers.. engine... you would be looking at
a major rebuild effort.. Still, something of a rare model..
If you have the shop floor space to take it on.

Very rare version of the P1800. I’ve never seen one in the flesh. Definitely a 
ground-up restoration candidate.

Just happen to have a complete factory turbo set, intake and exhaust
manifold, with turbo and all attachments, on the shelf that fits that
engine
That car has been sitting unloved and outside for way too long in AZ. the
interior is kacked. floor pans, rockers.. engine... you would be looking at
a major rebuild effort.. Still, something of a rare model..
If you have the shop floor space to take it on.
