I owned a P1800 while going to college years ago. Actually I swapped cars with my dad. He wouldn't let me drive the 1200 miles to college in a VW. The P1800 was a great cruiser and very comfortable. As for the looks? I didn't think it was very attractive. But, I was in college and a Volvo was not something too many young guys drove. Ironically, there was another one on campus that had custom wheels and perhaps the first aftermarket tinted windows I had ever seen. The owner had plans to drop a Chevy V8 in it when he could afford it. Apparently there was someone in Oceanside California that did this kind of engine swap. Their specialty was V8 conversions of Jaguar XJ sedans. I wonder if the guy ever did the sway? The P1800 could really use the extra power!
