Whew... Irv Gordon has actually been driving his P1800 longer than its birthplace, Sweden, has been driving on the right side of the road (which started in 1967).

@Railer505 Yeas,Sep 3 1967 at 05.00 am.I actually lived in Sweden at that time. 7 years old I remember being scared to death driving with my mom that day!

@jsrosa1282 ah a 780- Well me 760 is 1990 model year, the last one. its seen alto of rain or snow since i live i nsweden, but sicne the body is galvanized there is no rust.

[jsrosa1282]

@volvo145 Irv was given a new 780 coupe when he turned the first million back in 1987. He sold the car to a friend in Europe about three years ago, when it had 450k miles on the odometer.

What year is your 760, by the way? I own a 1996 850 and a 1999 S70. The 850 has 89k original miles on it and has never seen rain or snow. It is always in a heated garage, under a cover.

Don Thibault ( p1800.com ) is a thief, Krook, dishonest,piece trash .

I've reported him to ebay and going to take him to court....

[CGELLC]

Keep at it. You're getting there! 

[volvo145]

@69apollo13 id imagine he gave the mew sedan which i think was a 760 tp hos wofe-

My 760 only has 200 k miles on it.

[volvo145]

We also had a MErcedes with 450k miles. It had awful ride quilty im sad to say. It had took a beating from those miles, the 740 and hte merc are 87 a nd 88s and its amazing how much better overall qual the volvo was. All gadgets worked in it, it did not in the Mercedes. and the seats felt almost new in the 740. you got back and bottom pain after about 50 miles or so in the mercedes. And o jave seena 740 iwth 900k miles on it ): amazing.

[volvo145]

and yes, there are lots of Volvos out there with 400.000+ miles. Especially 200/700/900 series with origianl engines. We had one had a 145 with clsoe to 500k miles on it and a 740 GLE with 400k on them. And by hte ride quailty you could not tell they had traveled that much amazing.

[volvo145]

The quality of Volvo.

[SuperJerkyBoys]

It's amazing he never got hit by some drunk driver or crashed it himself.

Go for 4 million miles Irv !
