Hey y'all, I am thinking about looking for an 1800. I currently have a 1977 Datsun 280Z and a 1968 Datsun Roadster. I have always thought the Volvo 1800 was one of the most beatiful cars ever built. I am a Volvo fan to the core as I have owned 7 240's ,one of which was my baby, and currently have the "flagship" '96 960. I am basically wondering what the cost of restoring an 1800 is compared to say, the Datsuns. Are parts readily available? Are there aftermarket parts companies? I would probably have to let go of the Roadster to get one but it would be worth it as the 1800 has been a dream of mine just as the Z was for a looooong time. Thanks for the input. Paul
