"The Sinner" 1965 Volvo 1800 S

[@sethtoe]

That is a sweet car... I made an exclamation when I saw this, I am 70 years old and love everything about this piece.

[@TimRogers-ir6ss]

It’s a Beautiful Car.

[@marco.s7856]

A sweet BADASS car

[@garygerard4290]

too damm cool

[@horatioyachapovich6919]

Well don't leave us hanging, what was your exclamation?

[@OPEK.]

It was all a lie and the guy didn’t built any part of this car.

[@darkgreen9098]

The car is a work of art, and presented in an art district really set it off!

[@IAMRobertLyon]

Thank you for watching!

[@michaelmuncy3593]

Back in the eighties a buddy of mine was torn between buying the P1800 or a Porsche Speedster. He couldn't afford the Speedster and bought the P1800 instead. I named it the Swedster.😁 Yours is absolutely stunning!

[@IAMRobertLyon]

Nice name! I made the video for my buddy Ken, check out his channel here with more clips of the Sinner www.youtube.com/@Thesinner1800

[@johnwayne3904]

The white letters just make that car look so wicked 👌

[@IAMRobertLyon]

Agree!

[@thejerseyj5479]

One of the best looking cars I've ever seen.

[@SoulRollerFIN]

Another old Volvo that looks really good is the Amazon. Gwoing up we had a -69 Amazon in turquoise/blue. Learned to drive with that car. Such fond memories.

[@haris300tt]

These cars are severely underrated. Beautiful lines like the Italian sports cars of the time but with one of the most reliable and easy to work on engines ever produced. Love all the modifications on this one. One of a kind car.

[@tegknox2694]

A breathtaking example of perhaps the most beautiful Volvo ever produced. I love the 1800's and I have to thank you for saving one.

[@objectrandom3501]

This is a pure piece of art

[@bgrigg07]

I grew up on The Saint (Moore) and have always had a soft spot for the 1800. Nicely done!

[@BobVermaes]

Outstanding, true to yourself. Your P 1800 would get my trophy pick.

[@LurchLures]

What a dream car. Thanks for sharing this.

[@IAMRobertLyon]

You're welcome, thanks for watching

[@insidethemusicalmind7207]

Ive always loved the Volvo P1800, but THIS one is gorgeous!!

[@NeilParsons-oe3rc]

Had a 71 1800E as a young man as my daily driver for 3.5 years, loved it and was very reliable. Probably my favorite car to date, I'm 69 now.

[@crowdog56]

Had a '67 1800 S but that E was a very stylish edition of the model. Loved mine to death!

[@schmeerical]

LOVE IT! My first car was a 122s Volvo "Amazon" that was very responsive and exotic in 1972 Missouri. But I was working at the Chrysler assembly plant where they were making muscle cars that couldn't take a corner (and catching hell from co-workers), even tho' I loved the power of a V8. I finally drove a 1800 ES and was terribly disappointed in it's acceleration and body roll. So kept bouncing between Volvo (142, 264, 740turbo, V90, v70) & US cars numerous times, settling on BMWs. After seeing your car and seeing what it could be, I need to revisit my 1800 obsession.

[@IAMRobertLyon]

Thanks for watching!

[@triggeh]

This car is so sick, well done

[@daviiaco]

I always loved the 1800 look and wonder why it is under appreciated. This build takes it to another level and left me wanting one

[@justinp2559]

P1800 is one of my favorite cars. One of my parents' employees at their repair garage owned one and he was the coolest cat. Fond memories. Great car! Beautiful restoration!

[@WilliamKiene]

This is one of the best cars ever built. The P1800s will only get more valuable every year. They used to put superchargers on 4-cylinder Volvos. We had a 1960s sedan and wagon. Now you know every inch of that wonderful car because you built it. Wonderful job. I love your car.

[@Shade_Tree_Mechanic]

Wow, what an incredible build. It looks amazing

[@wearetomorrowspast.5617]

I've seen a black with red interior in Britain. That one is something else. Just beautiful.

[@Lupinicus1664]

I think Roger would have approved. Great job. (I used to watch The Saint as a kid, and I wanted to be Roger Moore...)

[@MattMuse-c41]

I'm not what most folks would call a car guy, but this? this is just sorcery man, just beautiful.

[@IAMRobertLyon]

I agree! Thanks for watching

[@jackspeer2127]

I'm 74 and fell in love with the P1800 as a teen. Yours is a stunner.

[@ssgemeritus2115]

Always loved the look of that car ever since I saw one in the '60s as a kid. You've done it justice.

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

I had a 2008 C30, (kind of a grandchild to the P1800 wagon), for 12 years. It was a great car and I really regret selling it. But those 1800s were beautiful cars! This one is a great restomod! Nice work!

[@kcirful]

I like what you did with the modifications. I own a 64 1800S driver that is very original , Red over black. Love the styling of these cars! Owning these cars are special in that people just don't see them often. My car always stands out at shows that are filled with all the typical American muscle cars.

[@davebarron5939]

Gorgeous, only Volvo I ever fell in love with.

[@Davivd2]

Dude! This is one of the best looking cars that I've ever seen. I've never imagined being in love with a Volvo. This is a killer build. My hats off to you.

[@JohnDillon-zh7js]

Nice job my dad had one in the sixties. Wish he was still here to see yours.RIP dad .

[@budhardy5853]

My dad had a 64 B18 when I was a kid. The 4 speed shifter was about 36in long. To this day I always wanted to resto mod one. Never ran across one to do and I ended up doing a 66 C10. Nice job on you Volvo brings back so many memories.

[@crowdog56]

That car could come with the same motor as the 1800S . My cousin had one and it went like a bat outta hell. Even tho it looked like a grampa car...

[@skeeter8868]

Back in the late 70's my buddy had a '67. Dark green with a tan interior. That's when I fell in love with the P1800. Love what you've done with yours! Great job! ✌

[@santiagobenites]

It's one pretty looking car, and a perfect example of the automobile as art. Clever name too!

I’ve always loved this Volvo, outstanding restoration!

[@DeepseaSteve]

Love it. Your car so do what you like, if others aren’t happy then they can always do their own thing

[@kaseycarpenter73]

I had a 64, still the most fun I have ever enjoyed in a small, under-the-radar vehicle. Beautiful build! Extra points for sticking to the original powerplant.

[@stephenhegarty]

I’ve always been a lover of the brick Volvo’s but you’ve just convinced me that the 1800’s have potential - I love everything about this build!

[@mariog4707]

Here in the UK an iconic white P1800 is the holy grail - because of the connection with The Saint TV series. Unfortunately back in the day the car was not as sporty as it’s looks would suggest and performance wise it was certainly no match for an E Type. However you’ve really nailed it with this car, it’s great. Well done.

[@AldoCherubiniNeversleep]

2 of those red blocks are fitted inboard on Italcantieri Bora seacraft boats 120hp each 20foot long built in the 60s those red blocks were the real signature of volvo all up to the 850 models if I'm not mistaken. Your hotrod p1800 is outstanding slick and mean looking, awesome job well built, well done!

[@JamesVaughan-j6p]

Super sweet car! This model Volvo has always been one of my favorite styled cars..... The color combo is excellent!

[@scottklandl488]

Haven’t seen one in years and this is an amazing reimagining. Thanks for sharing and enjoy

The car looks really amazing. All the mods were done really well, and make the car look even better than the original.

[@eckelgti]

Beautifully done, if I had one now this is the direction I would want to go with it. My dad had one when I was a very little kid and there are lots of pictures of me pretending to drive it. My passion for cars started with this one at 2 years old.

[@johnobrien8773]

Absolutely stunning.

[@Chris.from.1950]

Very cool car. Equally cool video. Thanks! ❤ When I was in high school, in the late 1960s, the father of a buddy of mine owned one of these. I never got to drive it, but I’ll never forget sitting in it and working the shifter. It was built like a Swiss watch. Unbelievable technical excellence.

[@adamhotrod]

It's nice to see something that looks this cool done on a budget and by the owner too. It sits nicely and I like the mods you've done to it.

[@tombulli1236]

WOW!!!! Very Nice!

Beautiful car, beautiful scenes. Great video. Makes me happy!

[@IAMRobertLyon]

Thanks for watching!

[@rvrschrs64]

I'm an old guy and remember the P1800 as a real bargain GT, although out of my range. The Saint TV show was based on a series of books in the 1930's and 40's, written by Leslie Charteris. The stick figure "saint" with a halo was always on the book cover. The "sinner" figure is a nice take-off. This is real nice restoration especially for a first timer and for a car of this sort who cares if it gets demerits at an auto show.

[@jeffbrassard1268]

I owned 2 1967 P1800S when I was a starving college student. I loved the cars, ever comfortable and reliable.

Never heard of this model, WOW, very sharp, I like the nice changes you made. I also like that you didn’t make chop up a car that should’ve just had a sympathetic restoration instead (thank you) Excellent video quality as well Thanks for sharing 😊

[@dave_diy]

I've always loved the P1800 design and shape. IMHO this is the nicest looking one I've ever seen and the "making it yours" modifications reveal your excellent tastes. Very well done Sir! Borrowing from the p-car world, this should be specified proudly as a "P1800 Outlaw". "The Sinner" is a perfect name for it too.

[@crowdog56]

Owned a '67 one of these with the way-cool 'lectric overdrive. Loved flipping that toggle switch! Loved the whole car! Well, except for the finicky dual carbs; they were a pain. But when everything was right, it drove like a dream! I think it has one of the sexist rear ends ever made...

[@SteveLowtwait]

What an awesome restomod of the 1800. I have a nearly stock 1800ES but I have some plans for it. This is inspiring.

[@ianlawless7481]

Beautiful freaking beautiful! And with loving respect to the legendary "red" block that runs forever. 1800 is a dream for me. I have had 122, 240, 740, 960, 850r, xc70.........and a few more but 1800 has escaped me so far

[@crowdog56]

Get one- you will LOVE it!

[@romulus_]

You see these from time to time in San Francisco, but this is probably the coolest one I've seen.

[@davidhammer4195]

I read all of the Saint novels by Leslie Charteris. They started in 1928 with “Meet The Tiget” I’d ride my bike to used book stores to look for them.. I grew up watching Roger Moore in The Saint. My Stepmother owned a 1973 P188 when she married my dad. I’ve loved them since. I WANT this car.

This car was sold last week! I made the video for the owner Ken

[@thom-mark6443]

The Saint was aired in the U.S. too. The P1800 has always been one of my favorite cars. The "E" flying brake version was equally attractive. Nice job on yours, by the way.

Absolutely stunning and a beautiful car. I’m sixty now and my late father always wanted this model, unfortunately practically and the cost didn’t allow it. He did own many early Volvos throughout his life though and when I see this particular model I always think of him. Great video thank you for sharing ❤️🇬🇧👍🏼

[@mrbookends]

Ok, so...... yeah. As soon as the vid started I said "Jesus" out loud. The P1800 wagon is one of my favorite car shapes ever (along with the FD RX7) and it's why I bought a C30. I'm still on the lookout for a P1800 of my own and this really is an inspirational build!
