CBC tonight interviewed a Long Is. (N.Y.) Volvo owner with over 2 million miles on his one owner P1800 . He beat the salt by hosing off the car's underside with a garden hose connected to his hot water heater in his garage (heated , I presume).
Get this ! He had an engine overhaul at 600,000 miles but it did not really need it ! He only had it done because he thought he had a lot of milage and was aware most "big cars" would hav had this done well before .Since then he has never even had the head off !!! That's over 1.4 million miles on a "rebuilt" 1800cc , pushrod , 4 cyl., iron engine !!
Do Volvo still make 'em like that ?
The coupe is red . Has anybody out there in L.I. seen this guy ?
