AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Volvo - 145 GL fuel-injected - 1974

History:
The car was originally delivered in 1974 to a Swedish expatriate living in Des Plaines, Illinois, USA, who returned home to Sweden the following year and brought the car with him. Therefore it has a metric dashboard. The Volvo stayed in Sweden from 1975 to 2021 and has had 6 owners.

Body and paint:
Turn heads, bring a smile to everyone’s face, more luxurious edition, leather interior, fuel injection (Bosch K-jetronic), original color (sun yellow), roof rack, whitewall tires and original 8-track radio. Still a very practical, complete, solid and powerful car. The Volvo is very well preserved and received an extra full Dinitrol treatment in 2022.

Technical:
The Volvo is in excellent technical condition. The engine runs smoothly and the car drives very well. Brakes and transmission work as they should. There are several invoices from the previous owner in the Netherlands; TÜV expired at the end of 2025, but there is no problem obtaining another one.

Interior:
After 50 years, the leather has dried out and some cracks have appeared on the seats, but they are still perfectly adequate. In the past (Sweden), the hood, tailgate, and doors were repainted. They would benefit from a polish.

The car was imported from Sweden to the Netherlands and is now located in Italy in Venice. The car can be viewed by appointment and I can arrange transport at the buyer’s expense.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
