1971 Volvo 144

April 4, 201214 yr

Would you like to be the coolest person on your street? Well this is your chance. Up for sale is my 1971 Volvo 144.

I’ve only owned this car for a very short time and I don’t want to sell it but something that I cannot say no to has come up for sale, my loss your gain.

Anyway about the car:

1971 Volvo 144 Delux.

3 Speed Colum shift (Can you say awesome?)

2.0L 4 Cylinder

4 Wheel disc brakes

Things I’ve changed since I’ve owned it:

- Rebuilt Tail shaft (had a nasty vibration previously)

- Service

-Whitewalls

- Painted Wheels

- Painted tail light surrounds and boot trim

- Lots of general tidying up

- Made some patches for sun damaged sections of seats.

- Moved front numberplate higher

Body / Exterior

The body is in very good condition for age, it’s a very straight car with a couple of tiny dents here and there. Paint is very good except for the roof (faded) and a couple of marks on the passenger side. Only a couple of very small bits of rust, nothing deep or bigger than a 5c piece. I’ve just painted the wheels and installed new whitewalls, and removed the grill badges.

Interior

Inside the car is very tidy with the exception of sun damage to the seats. I’ve made some average patches to cover the damage but a seat re-trim would see the interior almost perfect. Doors trims are perfect, dash is uncracked and it’s a comfortable place to be.

Engine / Mechanics

Fantastic condition mechanically. Starts first time always and ticks over very smoothly for an older motor. Very simple mechanics (much like an older corolla) and great build quality. Sits on the road very well and shifts very smoothly. Could be a daily driver easily.

This is an extremely uncommon car and would suit anyone from a Volvo enthusiast to someone who wants a good daily driver or to someone who wants to do something completely different. This car has so much potential there it just needs someone to change a few small things. I had planned to put on wide Holden wheels (they share the same bolt pattern) and lower it all round but never got the chance.

Price is $2500ono
