Description

This Volvo has only had 2 owners from new in 1964. The car was sold new to the first owner, a resident of Gunnarn, a small town in the municipality of Storuman in Västerbotten. He used the car sporadically for 20 years. Then between the years 1984 to 2005, it was parked in the owner's garage. In 2005, the car was bought by a Volvo enthusiast from Vilhelmina who had the mechanicals fixed. Externally, the is in well-preserved original condition. The car has since been used extensively during the summer. That's why they had new seat belts installed as well as brackets for child car seats. The owner is selling the car as he has started his own business and finds it difficult to find time for his hobby vehicles.

The current owner has driven approximately 100,000 km with the car. The meter has gone around the clock and now stands at 84,130 km. We know that the car has done 180,000 km, and maybe even 280,000 km. There are long distances in Norrland and the car is a good example of Volvo's fine quality. The spare wheel, jack and instruction books are included. The car is inspected and ready to drive.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car starts easily and runs fine. In 2013, the engine was rebuilt, the block was drilled 0.30 and the top was fixed. In 2018, the brakes were renovated. The car has a normally functioning technical standard.

  • Interior condition:

    Original interior in red fabric and artificial leather which is in unusually fine condition. There is some wear with some minor holes on the driver's seat. See pictures. Nice original rubber mats. Complete and nice headliner. New front three-point seat belts. The latch that holds the boot in the open position needs an review.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car's paintwork is the original which is worn and touched up. The repairs carried out by the first owner after small incidents can be characterized as user-friendly. There are scratch marks, some surface rust and a few dents. The car still feels very solid and has never been taken apart. On two of the wings, there is a small hole at the bottom, according to pictures.

    The beam under the floor on the right side must be replaced. See pictures from the underside of the car. The owner was kind enough to lift out the car's seats to show the condition of the floor from the inside as well. A procedure that is quickly done on Volvo PV. The car is also equipped with a tow-bar. At the rear tow-bar attachment, a small sheet metal repair is needed. See picture.

  • General condition:

    A well-functioning vintage car that is completely ready to drive. The mechanical part has been prioritized for operational reliability. The interior is in better condition than normal given its age and use. The exterior has more wear, but can be said to be in line with the car's history and use.

Facts about the model

1964 års modell är den sista med de snygga navkapslarna med kromat V på röd botten.

Volvo PV 444 började tillverkas 1947 och den sista PV 544:an lämnade bandet 1965 efter sammanlagt 440 000 exemplar. Volvo PV 444 och dess efterföljare 544 var under flera decennier Volvos storsäljare. Volvo PV i olika utföranden användes både som bruksbilar, nyttofordon och som rallybilar. Många nybakade bilförare gjorde sina första stapplande rattsvängningar och draglägesförsök i just en PV. Produktionen av modellen upphörde för att ge plats för Volvo 144, som premiärvisats hösten 1965.
