Description

The owner spent many years searching for a solid-body 1800 and finally imported this one from Los Angeles in 2018. It was repainted in its original California White after the harsh California sun faded the paintwork but preserved the car from rust issues. Remarkably, it even comes with the original registration number "MYP1800". The car arrived and was registered in Sweden on 2018-08-23, and then it rolled into the owner's garage where the following work was carried out:

Renovated engine compartment
Wiring harness replaced
Rebuilt engine
Unleaded head
Rebuilt rear axle
All bushings replaced in the rear axle
New interior
Original cloverleaf wheels in great condition
Minilite rims with almost new tires
Swedish speedometer
AC deleted (original unit parts included with the car)
and much more...
Lots of receipts for repair work and parts are included in the folder, plus a photocopied workshop manual.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car starts up immediately with a smooth-running and great-sounding engine. It drives well, with a responsive gearbox, clutch, and brakes, and features a fully functional overdrive. The engine is exceptionally clean and tidy, fitted with a sought-after valve cover and numerous new parts. It comes with super nice Minilite wheels and virtually new tires, as well as a full set of original clover wheels in a great condition. Just turn the key and drive it home.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is in great condition, with about 70% of it having been replaced. It still looks wonderful overall. The only notable issue is a cracked dashboard cover that has been repaired. All the instruments and gauges work, except for the oil temperature gauge and the clock, which is a common issue with these cars.

  • Exterior condition:

    The bodywork is straight and undamaged with good shut lines and no standout rust issues. The only points to note are small blisters under the edge of the boot lid and two small paint blisters on the front wing (see pictures). The underbody is clean with no signs of rust, just older welding work around the sill. The repaint done in the USA about 20 years ago still looks great with a bright finish. There are a few minor paint touch-ups around the boot edge and one on the driver's door. The chrome work is bright and clean, with a few marks on the rear right bumper.

  • General condition:

    This is a super nice-looking car with loads of expensive upgrades, ensuring the next owner has many problem-free years of motoring ahead. The small cosmetic issues are not urgent, hardly noticeable, and can be easily repaired over time.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
